The purpose of this study is to show that there is no difference in patient clinical scores when patients with knee pain are treated with joint application of high dose white blood cell PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and low dose white blood cell PRP for knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be selected based on presenting knee pain lasting for 6 months or longer. Before being recruited, they will undergo radiological examinations (X-ray and MRI), based on which they will be recruited. Before application and subjection to randomization, all patients will fill out clinical questionnaires (KOOS,WOMAC,VAS). Afterwards, the participants will be divided randomly into two groups, one receiving high dose white blood cell PRP and the other group receiving low dose white blood cell PRP. Participants will not be aware of which group they are divided into. They will have blood drawn, the blood will be processed into a PRP blood product. The blood product will then be applied into the joint space with the help of ultrasound. The patients will again fill out clinical scores (KOOS,WOMAC,VAS) at the follow-up intervals (1,3,6,12 months). At the end of the study, participants will be allowed to discover which PRP product they received.
