Can a blood injection ease shoulder arthritis pain?
NCT ID NCT05675527
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — made from your own blood — can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with shoulder osteoarthritis. Researchers will compare low-dose PRP, high-dose PRP, and a plain saline injection in 135 adults. The goal is to see if PRP offers better symptom relief than saline, which is a simple placebo-like control.
