THAILAND'S Chula Medicine researchers have successfully published in an article that injecting of a patient's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the shoulder ligaments results in pain reduction, heals torn ligaments and restores torn muscles, as an alternative to surgery while reducing the side effects of prolonged use of pain medications.
"A PRP injection for shoulder ligament injuries is one of the treatments we have been doing for over five years," said Asst Prof Marvin Thepsoparn, an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at the Pain Clinic, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
"This approach helps to reduce the side effects of painkillers and is safe because the patient's own platelets and plasma are used to inject back into the patient's injury site to stimulate self-repair."
