The Effects Of Intraarticular Platelet Rich Plasma versus Steroid Injection In Meniscal Injuries- A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study compares two types of knee injections — platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which uses your own blood's healing factors, versus a steroid injection — for treating meniscal injuries (tears of the cartilage pad in the knee). Researchers want to see which treatment provides better pain relief and function in the short term. You may be eligible if: - You are male and between 18 and 40 years old - You have had knee pain lasting more than 3 months - You have a history of a twisting injury to the knee - A clinical examination and MRI confirm a meniscal injury You may NOT be eligible if: - You have had any intraarticular (inside the knee joint) injection in the last 3 months Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.
