Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the fusion rate after the use of platelet rich plasma with autolgus bone graft and comparing it with bone graft alone
Chronic soft tissues defects can extend into the fat layer or even deeper and can cause functional disadvantages. Split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) used to cover these wounds have varying success rates. To improve wound healing in chronic wounds the authors have studied the application of autologous platelet concentrates in a human keratinocyte culture model in vitro and in a combination with surgical procedures in vivo as second line therapy in patients with initially failed wound closure.
Melasma is a common acquired disorder characterized by symmetric, hyperpigmented patches with an irregular outline, occurring most commonly on the face. The therapy for melasma has always been challenging and discouraging. Platelet rich plasma has been used over the last several years as an effective treatment in various surgical and medical fields. In recent years, Platelet rich plasma has also started to be used in the field of cosmetology. This study is designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of platelet rich plasma in melasma.
In Korea, where the prevalence of gastric tumors is high, the use of ESD as a treatment for gastric cancer will continue to increase. Considering that there are no special measures to prevent side effects (bleeding, perforation, etc.) of this procedure, it is possible to reduce the large medical costs through the discovery of substances that can promote gastric mucosal healing. Mechanism of PRP-based materials in the regeneration of gastric mucosal damage can be used to understand the pathophysiology of ulcers. In the future, it can be suggested as a new treatment for gastrointestinal tract damage such as intractable ulcer, perforation, mucosal fistula, gastrointestinal bleeding caused by esophagus, small intestine and large intestine as well as ulcer treatment by endoscopic procedure.
This study aimed to analyze the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on knee osteoarthritis. Eligible patients will undertake arthroscopic knee surgery plus intraoperative PRP and also receive second look surgery and intraoperative biopsy.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on chronic lateral ankle instability by comparing the imaging and clinical outcomes between patients receiving PRP and those receiving whole blood during the modified Broström-Gould procedure.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on discogenic low back pain by comparing the pre- and post-interventional outcomes in patients receiving intradiscal injection of autologous PRP.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on meniscus injury by comparing the imaging and clinical outcomes between patients receiving PRP with meniscus repair surgery and those receiving meniscus repair surgery only.
This prospective study will be quantitatively analyzing the effectiveness of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injections into the sacroiliac (SI) joint in relieving sacroiliitis and low back pain originating from the SI joint. The effectiveness of PRP injections on joint pain has been well studied in the knee and shoulder. PRP injections are performed on the SI joint commonly, but there is little research documenting their effectiveness when compared to other interventions. This study will be a small pilot study to aid in closing this knowledge gap. Additionally, these injections will be performed under ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound has been proven to be of equal reliability to fluoroscopy and has the advantage of shorter time to administer and no radiation. There will be one arm to this study. The data collected will be compared to existing studies on corticosteroid SI joint injection. The experimental arm consists of the PRP injection. The PRP will be injected into the joint using the exact same technique via physical exam, special tests, and ultrasound guidance as performed in our previous studies. The outcomes will be measured with the Numeric Rating Scale for Pain (NRS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) prior to the injection, immediately post-injection, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-injection. The investigators hypothesis is, "Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections in the Sacroiliac Joint using ultrasonography in conjunction with physical examination and Point of Maximal Tenderness will produce statistically significant pain relief for more than 3 months as measured by the Numeric Rating Scale for Pain (NRS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)."
To avoid complications secondary to advanced endoscopic resection techniques (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection -EMR- or Endoscopic Submucosal Disection -ESD-) the endoscopists have to avoid deep thermal damage and increase mucosal healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated efficacy in preclinical endoscopic resection models.
