Withdrawn study on plasma patches for rare headaches leaves questions unanswered
NCT ID NCT07283536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study planned to compare two methods of delivering a platelet-rich plasma patch to treat headaches caused by low spinal fluid pressure. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected. The goal was to see if a simpler blind approach could work as well as a targeted one guided by imaging.
What this could mean

- platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
- What this could lead to
