NCT ID NCT07306611
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from a woman's own blood into the vulvovaginal area can relieve symptoms of genital atrophy like dryness, burning, and pain during sex. It includes 30 women who cannot use standard hormone treatments. Half receive PRP and half receive a placebo, with follow-ups over six months.
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) injection
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural, hormone-free option to relieve symptoms of genital atrophy, especially for women who cannot use estrogen creams.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-phase trial with only 30 participants. PRP is still experimental for this condition, and the placebo group may show similar results. Long-term benefits are not yet known.
