Can Platelet-Rich plasma boost microneedling for skin amyloidosis?
NCT ID NCT07360860
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to microneedling improves itching and dark patches in macular amyloidosis better than microneedling alone. Thirty adults with the condition will have each side of their face treated differently, and results will be checked with photos, skin microscopy, and patient satisfaction surveys. The goal is to see if the combination offers a safe, more effective option for this stubborn skin condition.
