NCT ID NCT05039463

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial compares two injection treatments for knee osteoarthritis: a combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid versus hyaluronic acid alone. Researchers want to see if the combined approach provides better pain relief and function after one year. The study involves 100 adults receiving these injections at a single hospital in France.
