Conventional Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Concentrated Bone Marrow Stem Cell Injections for Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Osteo Arthritis Knee

In brief

Previous clinical trials have demonstrated the human body's own healing and regenerative cells can relieve the pain of arthritis. Bone marrow contains stem cells which can change into cells of various different tissue types, while platelet rich plasma contains growth factors. Both techniques have been shown to relieve pain and with this study the Investigators wish to compare the two treatments.
