Summary

"PRP+HA-23" is a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial with 1:1:1 allocation. The objective of the study is to evaluate by a randomized controlled, double-blind clinical trial the efficacy and safety of viscosupplementation-associated PRP infiltration compared with PRP-only or HA-only infiltration for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteo Arthritis Knee

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

PRP + HA injection

Following autologous PRP harvesting and production, 5 mL of PRP and 40 mg/2 mL of HA will be infiltrated into the knee joint affected by gonarthrosis. The combined procedure will be performed by first infiltrating the hyaluronic acid, and next, leaving the needle inserted into the joint to avoid a second needle insertion, the PRP will be infiltrated, respecting the conditions of sterility. In this way, the two products will not be mixed in the same syringe.

BIOLOGICAL

PRP injection

Following autologous PRP harvesting and production, patients randomized into control group 1 will undergo single intra-articular PRP infiltration. Five mL of PRP will be infiltrated into the knee joint affected by gonarthrosis.

DEVICE

HA injection

Patients randomized into control group 2, will undergo similar blood sampling as the PRP+ HA group and the PRP group to maintain blinding. They will then undergo intra-articular infiltration of 40 mg/ 2 ml HA into the knee with gonarthrosis.
