Evaluation of the role of platelet rich plasma injection in trigger point for treatment of myofacial pain

Comparative study between usage of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Botulinum toxin-A injection in management of Myofascial pain dysfunction. (A Randomized Clinical Trial)

“…Matching results were seen with different studies [40,42,57] showing that, the peak of improvement is obtained at 12 weeks postoperatively to decline again with increased pain intensity at the 24 weeks of the follow-up period.…”

“…Second centrifuging at 3500 rpm for 10 min "hard spin" was performed separating the platelet poor plasma "PPP" layer on the uppermost 2/3 that would be discarded leaving the platelet rich plasma "PRP" layer at the 1/3 bottom which is the layer of interest. [42][43][44] Collectively, 2.5-3 ml of PRP was obtained. After using of Alcohol Pre-Injection Swab 70% for skin cleansing, injection of 0.5 ml per each trigger point was performed (5 TrPs x 0.5ml) Fig.…”

Improvised Anesthetic Management of a Large Pedunculate Mobile Growth at the Base of Tongue: A Unique Scenario

“…Randa et al 2017 [2] affirmed that analgesics are often the mainstay of treatment in the immediate postoperative period in the short term. Despite the effectiveness of opioids, they often produce undesirable side effects, such as vomiting, constipation, confusion, and respiratory depression, which has led to a shift to alternative and multimodal analgesic regimens, such as ac-etaminophen, scheduled nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which are cyclo-oxygenase 2 enzyme inhibitors, and neuroleptic agents.…”

“…There has been a great deal of interest in effective techniques for periarticular injection. Randa et al 2017 [2] observed that periarticular injections of delayed-release anesthetics can help improve pain management.…”

“…Randa et al 2017 [2] established that as surgical techniques and pharmacology advance, the management of postoperative pain in patients undergoing TKA continues to evolve.…”
