ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different types of injections to treat a condition called pes anserinus bursitis, which causes pain on the inner side of the knee. The researchers want to find out if an injection made from a patient’s own blood, called platelet-rich plasma (PRP), is better at reducing pain than a corticosteroid injection, which is a common anti-inflammatory treatment. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive the PRP injection, and the other group will receive the corticosteroid injection. The effectiveness of each treatment will be checked at several points over 24 weeks.

To join the study, participants must be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with pes anserinus pain syndrome. However, there are some exclusions; for example, those with infections, certain medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, or who are pregnant cannot participate. Throughout the trial, participants will report their pain levels and function in their daily activities at specific times. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it aims to provide valuable information about the best way to relieve pain for people with this condition.
