NCT ID NCT07268885
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a procedure called 'PRP Spinoplasty' for people with long-term lower back pain from disc disease, facet joint arthritis, and muscle spasms. 35 adults who had not improved with standard care received injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into multiple areas of the spine. Researchers measured pain levels and disability before and after treatment to see if the approach was safe and effective.
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 new injection-based option to ease chronic lower back pain and improve function without surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 35 people and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. PRP injections can cause temporary pain or infection.
