NCT ID NCT06082531
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — a concentrate from a person's own blood — can repair knee osteoarthritis and injuries to cartilage, meniscus, and ligaments. Researchers will compare PRP against standard hyaluronic acid injections in 300 adults aged 20 to 60. The goal is to see if PRP improves joint structure and reduces damage better than current care.
