Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection therapy for low back pain patients. Our hypothesis is that PRP will reduce the pain feeling and benefit for restore of the intervertebral disk.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analog Scale(VAS)

    Pain relief evaluated using change from baseline in Visual Analog Scale (VAS):baseline, 1 week ,and 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 12 months after intervention.

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    Pain relief and functions evaluated using change from baseline in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI): baseline, 1 week ,and 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 12 months after intervention.

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Functional Rating Index

    Spinal functions evaluated using change from baseline by Functional Rating Index: baseline, 1 week ,and 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 12 months after intervention.

    Time frame: 1 year

  3. Measuring the Quality of life using SF-36 questionnaire

    Functions evaluated using change from baseline in SF-36:baseline, 1 week ,and 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 12 months after intervention.

    Time frame: 1 year

  4. Imaging change

    Imaging change by MRI scan: : baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months after intervention.

    Time frame: 1 year

  5. Number of patients with side effect

    Record how many patients had side effects after intervention (eg.aggravation of pain\*(VAS change increased more than 3 from baseline),anaphylaxis,sensory/motion disturbances).

    Time frame: Within 1 year after injection therapy

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Nov 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2022, 37 months after the start.

Of 1,187 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Low Back Pain, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 26. This study's planned 37 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,246 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 26.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 9, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
