Study Summary

This trial is testing whether combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with either lipoaspirate or bone marrow aspirate can improve outcomes in osteoarthritis patients, compared to using PRP alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 19 with Osteoarthritis in a major joint, confirmed by recent imaging. They must be able to consent and follow the study plan. Excluded are those with BMI >35, recent joint surgery or injections, certain medication restrictions, severe arthritis (Grade 4), low platelet or hemoglobin levels, active infection or cancer, pregnant women, and those with autoimmune diseases or allergies to specific medications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests how effective PRP therapy combined with lipoaspirate and/or bone marrow aspirate is for Osteoarthritis. Participants will receive one of three treatment combinations: PRP plus lipoaspirate; PRP plus bone marrow aspirate; or PRP with both lipoaspirate and bone marrow aspirate.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at injection sites, swelling, bruising from needle insertion for collecting fat/bone marrow cells used in treatments. There's also a risk of infection post-procedure.
