NCT ID NCT07491367
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare two FDA-approved machines that make platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for people with knee osteoarthritis. PRP is made from a person's own blood and is injected into the knee to help with pain and stiffness. The researchers will check if the two machines produce different quality platelets and how patients feel after the injection. Only 20 participants will be enrolled, so this is a small pilot study to gather initial data.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the best PRP preparation method for knee osteoarthritis, potentially improving symptom relief.
