Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is autologous blood which has been centrifuged to separate the supernatant resulting in a solution with high concentration of platelets. Injection of PRP stimulates cell growth and can has been proven safe and effective for uses in orthopedics, dermatology, and gynecology. Despite the relative paucity of data, the use of PRP as a therapy for sexual dysfunction and genitourinary symptoms in the setting of menopause has been patented as the O-Shot and V-Shot. This is a single-blinded randomized control trial to determine if PRP injections into the anterior vaginal wall improve sexual functioning in women diagnosed with the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) characterized by vaginal dryness/irritation.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product rich in proteins and growth factors. Its application has been the subject of many studies in the field of ophthalmology to stimulate tissue healing and regeneration. Due to its anatomical features (lack of blood vessels), the cornea is among the most susceptible to damage structures of the eye. Therefore, the study of the impact of various regenerative therapies (autologous blood products, serums, ) on corneal lesions is important not only scientifically, but also practically for ophthalmologist. Numerous reports described the healing effect of PRP on corneal lesions.
The aim of this comparative study is to determine whether or not LOSARTAN with its anti-fibrotic action has an added effect when administrated with platelet rich plasma injection on skeletal muscle healing and on decreasing the fibrous scar after muscle injuries in comparison with the sole administration of platelet rich plasma.
The purpose of our study is to examine the effect of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injection on the short-term resolution of post-injury inflammation (biomarkers) and improvement in joint function in patients with acute ACL injury. This RCT has been powered based on the questionnaire KOOS Jr. but it is considered a 'pilot study' in terms of the lab analysis proposed.
The primary objective is to investigate the efficacy, defined as an increase in oocyte numbers upon ovarian stimulation, and safety of a single intra-ovarian PRP injection vs. saline solution (NaCl) injection (Placebo) transvaginally or laparoscopically for follicular activation in patients with child wish and with low ovarian reserve/expected poor ovarian response planning to undergo IVF or ICSI using own eggs. Pain score as numerical rating score and validated quality of life questionnaire will be requested after the procedure. Longterm follow-up of all participants will be performed 1, 2 and 5 years after end of study.
RPR contains rich-in growth factors and has the properties of helping tissue regeneration and nerve repair. In theory, it is possibility of curing ED.
To evaluate the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP; double-spin) in treatment of single-level lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) in comparison to triamcinolone. RCT was conducted with 30 patients included.
Shoulder arthroplasty provides successful improvement in pain and function for the treatment of end stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder in the older patient population (Sanchez 2008, Sampson 2010, Kon 2012, Fitzpatrick 2017). However, the optimal non-operative treatment for shoulder OA in the young active duty and civilian populations has yet to be determined. Although corticosteroid injections (CSI) are a viable option with diagnostic and short-term therapeutic benefit in glenohumeral OA, steroid does little to address the underlying pathology and confers risk of adjacent tendon failure (Kon 2009, Gosens 2011, Monto 2014, Tietze 2014). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from autologous blood, however, has the potential to enhance soft tissue healing as previously observed in muscles and tendons (Sanchez 2005, Randelli 2008, Hall 2009). PRP contains growth factors purported to safely facilitate local tissue regeneration as corroborated in multiple clinical studies investigating tendinopathy (Virchenko 2006, Kesikburun 2013, Fitzpatrick 2017, Schwitzguebel 2019). PRP is a promising concept to bridge the gap between conventional non-operative measures and surgical arthroscopy or arthroplasty options in a high functioning patient population with refractory disease. However, clinical literature elucidating the effects of intra-articular leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP) injections in large joint degenerative OA has been slower to emerge, lacking substantiated data due to small sample sizes and treatment variability. Therefore, high level evidence-based studies remain critical in ascertaining the therapeutic value and clinical efficacy of LP-PRP in glenohumeral OA in order to establish standard of care protocols and guide systematic implementation.
In this study, OCTA is used to study the vascular changes following PRP in patients with PDR; regarding vessels density at 1 month and 6 months follow up period and measure superficial, deep, and outer retina for fovea, para-fovea and whole image.
