Could your own blood ease chronic shoulder pain?

NCT ID NCT07448285

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

Summary

This study compares two treatments for chronic shoulder pain: injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made from your own blood, versus standard steroid shots. Both groups also do personalized exercises. The goal is to see if PRP provides better and longer-lasting pain relief. The trial involves 86 adults aged 35-75 with shoulder pain lasting at least 3 months.

platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a longer-lasting, non-steroid option for chronic shoulder pain, reducing the need for repeated steroid shots.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (86 people), and PRP may not prove better than the current standard treatment. Results may not apply to all shoulder pain patients.
