Background Steroid injection is a widespread treatment for plantar fasciitis but seems to be useful lesser extent, Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) injections into the fascia start healing process required stop degeneration of at its root.Aim study To compare analgesic efficacy, functional outcome, degree satisfaction and improvement fascial thickness echogenicity after platelet-rich plasma versus co...

Partial thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) are a common pathology among shoulder disorders in people over 50 years. Treatment of PTRCTs remains controversial. Most studies on the treatment of PTRCTs have explained surgical techniques or outcomes; few studies have centralized on the conservative and new management of PTRCTs, like treatment with Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These case series st...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown improvement in patellar tendinopathy symptoms after platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, but no randomized controlled trial has compared PRP with dry needling (DN) for this condition. PURPOSE To compare clinical outcomes in patellar tendinopathy after a single ultrasound-guided, leukocyte-rich PRP injection versus DN. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controll...

INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common articular disease. Different methods are used to alleviate the symptoms of patients with knee OA, including analgesics, physical therapy, exercise prescription, and intra-articular injections (glucocorticoids, hyaluronic acid [HA], etc). New studies have focused on modern therapeutic methods that stimulate cartilage healing process and im...

Background: Among new therapies emerging in the medical field, use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) human reproduction has not yet been explored. Platelet-rich a potential effect on tissue repair through proliferation and differentiation progenitor cells. The aim this study was to evaluate PRP testis structure function rabbit model. Material methods: A total 30 male rabbits were recruited study. T...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is increasingly used in Regenerative Medicine. The concept of PRP as a natural source of signaling molecules with paracrine effects in different cells is the basis for the increased PRP application as treatment for sports injuries. PRP recapitulates the principal functions of the natural healing response in orchestrating cell proliferation, differentiation, migration,...

CONTEXT Tendon disorders comprise 30% to 50% of all activity-related injuries; chronic degenerative tendon disorders (tendinopathy) occur frequently and are difficult to treat. Tendon regeneration might be improved by injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP), an increasingly used treatment for releasing growth factors into the degenerative tendon. OBJECTIVE To examine whether a PRP injection woul...

PURPOSE To evaluate therapeutic effects and usefulness of a combination treatment of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) and panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) in patients with clinically significant macular edema secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS Visual acuity test, fundoscopy, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) we...

Background: Sensory nerve damage is the earliest leprosy sign which can lead to disability. Previous studies showed that autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) perineural blind injection stimulate sensory regeneration. Our study provided a safer and more accurate PRP agent delivery method through ultrasound-guided was first compare versus standard neuropathy treatment, neurotropic vitamin. This ...

BACKGROUND A hamstring injury is one of the most common types of injury affecting athletes. Despite this, the optimal management of hamstring muscle injuries is not yet defined. The effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy on the recovery of hamstring injuries is unclear. PURPOSE To investigate the effect of a single PRP injection in the treatment of grade 2 hamstring muscle in...
