Injections of FloGraft Therapy, Autologous Stem Cells, or Platelet Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Degenerative Joint Pain
Status unconfirmed
Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis
In brief
This study will assess the outcomes of three currently available regenerative treatments (FloGraft, autologous stem cell therapy, platelet rich plasma therapy) for painful degenerative conditions of the joints. Patients receiving one these treatments will be assessed before the treatment procedure and followed up at four points over the six months after their procedure. Patients' pain, quality of life, and pain medication use at follow up will be compared to baseline levels. The investigators hypothesize that all three treatments will be effective in reducing pain, improving quality of life, and reducing pain medication usage.
