    Platelet-rich plasma

    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), also known as autologous conditioned plasma, is a concentrate of plasma protein derived from whole blood, centrifuged to remove red blood cells but retaining platelets. Though promoted for treating various medical conditions, evidence of its benefits was mixed as of 2020, showing effectiveness in certain conditions and ineffectiveness in others.[1][2][3]

    As a concentrated source of blood plasma and autologous conditioned plasma, PRP contains multiple growth factors and other cytokines that can stimulate the healing of soft tissues and joints. Indications for its use include sports medicine and orthopaedics (such as acute muscle strains, tendinopathy,tendinosis, muscle-fascial injuries, and osteoarthritis,[4]) dermatology (for androgenic alopecia, wound healing, and skin rejuvenation), and even proctology (for fistula en ano[5]).[6]

    Various preparation protocols exist, with the underlying principle of concentrating platelets to 3–5 times physiological levels, then injecting this concentrate into the tissue where healing is desired.[7] Beyond clinical practice, PRP has been utilized in various tissue engineering applications involving bone, cartilage, skin, and soft tissue repair. It serves as a source for the delivery of growth factors and/or cells within tissue-engineered constructs, often in combination with biomaterials. [8]

    I had a letter from an orthopod who referred a patient to me regarding plantar heel pain yesterday and unusually he cited "There is no level 1 evidence for the indication and use of PRP therapy in this patient". The only thought that went through my head was "Since when has that ever stopped you before...." I must be getting old and cynical in my old age!

    Be aware - orthopods are now actually reading research! ;)

    Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections in the Treatment of Chronic Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial With 1-Year Follow-up.
    Kesikburun S, Tan AK, Yilmaz B, Yasar E, Yazicioglu K.
    Am J Sports Med. 2013
    QUOTE]
    BACKGROUND:Rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) is a significant source of disability and loss of work. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been suggested to be beneficial in the treatment of RCT.

    PURPOSE:To investigate the effect of PRP injections on pain and shoulder functions in patients with chronic RCT.

    STUDY DESIGN:Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1.

    METHODS:A total of 40 patients, 18 to 70 years of age, with (1) a history of shoulder pain for >3 months during overhead-throwing activities, (2) MRI findings of RCT or partial tendon ruptures, and (3) a minimum 50% reduction in shoulder pain with subacromial injections of an anesthetic were included in this placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomized into a PRP group (n = 20) or placebo group (n = 20). Patients received an ultrasound-guided injection into the subacromial space that contained either 5 mL of PRP prepared from autologous venous blood or 5 mL of saline solution. All patients underwent a 6-week standard exercise program. Outcome measures (Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index [WORC], Shoulder Pain and Disability Index [SPADI], 100-mm visual analog scale [VAS] of shoulder pain with the Neer test, and shoulder range of motion) were assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 weeks and 1 year after injection.

    RESULTS:Comparison of the patients revealed no significant difference between the groups in WORC, SPADI, and VAS scores at 1-year follow-up (P = .174, P = .314, and P = .904, respectively). Similar results were found at other assessment points. Within each group, the WORC, SPADI, and VAS scores showed significant improvements compared with baseline at all time points (P < .001). In the range of motion measures, there were no significant group × time interactions.

    CONCLUSION:At 1-year follow-up, a PRP injection was found to be no more effective in improving quality of life, pain, disability, and shoulder range of motion than placebo in patients with chronic RCT who were treated with an exercise program.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

    Is one injection such as in the study above really the standard of care? I can't recall any of my patients who have had PRP from people in Sydney ever reporting only having one injection.

    Which showed there may indeed be some indications for PRP in recalcitrant heel pain!!!

    I had a PRP injection for a chronic adductor enthesopathy (6/12 duration). No amount of physio / rehab helped. One PRP without local straight into the problematic area and now pain free.
