Offline copy: Evidence For Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment Within Musculoskeletal Pain and Inju

Updated: Dec 12, 2023

What is the Evidence for PRP treatment for Musculoskeletal Pain and Injury?

We know due to clinical success that PRP treatment for pain and injury has great results and is very safe. We are a clinic that basis our practice on 2 fundamental principles 1) evidence based practice and 2) clinical efficacy and safety.

Below we have listed some of the recent clinical trials for the treatment of PRP for pain and injury treatment: efficacy and safety. Please note it is very important to interpret clinical trials with a critical eye. The benefit of clinical practice means you can tailor treatment far more specific to the individual. Whereas clinical trials have set protocols for processing, treatment and follow up.
