NCT ID NCT07231471
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 10,000 adults with common joint or tendon problems—like knee arthritis, tennis elbow, or plantar fasciitis—who choose to receive a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. PRP is made from a patient's own blood, spun to concentrate healing factors. Participants will report their pain and function over one year to see if the treatment helps.
