Could a simple blood injection reverse early menopause?
NCT ID NCT04031456
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether injecting a woman's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into her ovaries can restart menstrual cycles and improve hormone levels. It includes 100 women under 40 with premature ovarian failure (early menopause). Participants receive either PRP or a placebo injection, and researchers monitor for return of regular periods and changes in key hormones over three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to restart ovarian function and menstrual cycles in women with premature ovarian failure, potentially restoring fertility without long-term hormone therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is invasive, and there is a risk that PRP may not work or could cause ovarian damage or infection.
