NCT ID NCT07456215
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can improve tendon healing in people with a torn rotator cuff. Forty adults having arthroscopic repair surgery were split into two groups: one received PRP during surgery, the other did not. Researchers compared tendon tissue samples to see if PRP led to better structure and cell health.
