Effects of Short Wave Diathermy Added on Dextrose ProlotherapyInjections in Osteoarthritis of the Knee. To show the effects of short wave diathermy (SWD) added on prolotherapyinjections in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee on pain, physical functioning, and quality of life. This is a single-blinded randomized controlled study. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of a university hospital. Sixty-three patients with OA of the knee with Kellgren-Lawrence class 2 or 3 were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups, first being dextrose prolotherapy+SWD and the second being dextrose prolotherapy with sham SWD. Patients were injected with dextrose prolotherapy solutions in the beginning, third, and sixth week of the study, for a total of three times, and took

Prolotherapyinjections and physiotherapy used singly and in combination for lateral epicondylalgia: a single-blinded randomised clinical trial. Lateral epicondylalgia (tennis elbow) is a common, debilitating and often treatment-resistant condition. Two treatments thought to address the pathology of lateral epicondylalgia are hypertonic glucose plus lignocaine injections (prolotherapy ) and a physiotherapist guided manual therapy/exercise program (physiotherapy). This trial aimed to compare the short- and long-term clinical effectiveness, cost effectiveness, and safety of prolotherapy used singly and in combination with physiotherapy. Using a single-blinded randomised clinical trial design, 120 participants with lateral epicondylalgia of at least 6 weeks' duration were randomly assigned
Comparative Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Intratendinous ProlotherapyInjection with Conventional Treatment to Treat Focal Supraspinatus Tendinosis To evaluate the efficacy of dextrose prolotherapyinjection for focal supraspinatus rotator cuff tendinosis via outcomes such as functional score, range of movement, and real-time ultrasound parameters. 12 adult patients with focal supraspinatus tendinosis recruited after they had less than 30% improvement in functional (DASH) scores after one month of physiotherapy following initial presentation. Seven patients had 0.5-1.0 ml of prolotherapyinjection (12.5% dextrose, 0.5% lignocaine) injected into the area of focal tendinosis under ultrasound guidance. Meanwhile, five patients continued standard physiotherapy with no intervention performed
A randomized-controlled trial of prolotherapyinjections in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of prolotherapyinjections for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Between October 2014 and October 2015, 60 patients with symptomatic chronic plantar fasciitis were randomly divided into two groups, as control (n=31) and prolotherapy (n=29) groups . In the prolotherapy group, ultrasound-guided prolotherapyinjections into the plantar fascia up to five different points were performed three times every 21 days. In the control group, the patients received instructions for plantar fascia and Achilles tendon stretching exercises three times a week for three months. Additionally, all patients were given heel lifts and instructed to refrain from heavy loading
The Effect and Safety of Anti-inflammatories and Dextrose ProlotherapyInjections in Treating Knee Osteoarthritis Our purpose is to expand upon the results of the pilot study performed at David Grant Medical Center (DGMC) which showed that concomitant non-steroidal NSAID use in adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing a three-shot dextrose prolotherapy (DPT) injection series did not negate

Technical Innovation Case Report: Ultrasound-Guided ProlotherapyInjection for Insertional Achilles Calcific Tendinosis We describe the use of ultrasound guidance for hyperosmolar dextrose (prolotherapy) injection of the distal calcaneal tendon specifically just anterior to identified enthesophytes in patients with insertional Achilles calcific tendinosis refractory to conservative treatment
to policy makers, managers, clinicians, and researchers working to improve the health and care of Veterans. Takeaway: Dextrose prolotherapy — injections of dextrose solutions into (intra-articular) or around (extra-articular) an affected structure — appeared to have varying effects on pain-related functioning and physical performance for different musculoskeletal pain conditions.

Comparison of the Effectiveness of Local Ozone Injection and Dextrose ProlotherapyInjection in Chronic Plantar Fasciitis The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of local ozone injection and dextrose prolotherapy applications on pain and foot functions to compare the efficacy and to evaluate the thickness of the plantar fascia. In this study, 60 plantar fasciitis patients aged between -inflammatory drugs, night splints and therapeutic exercises are the first choice extracorporeal shock wave therapy and plasma-rich Minimally invasive treatments such as platelet (prp) can also be applied.Plantar dextrose prolotherapy, which is another treatment method in fasciitis, improves the ligament structure strengthens and reduces pain.In 2022, Chutumstid T et al. conducted a meta-analysis and found

Comparison of the Efficacy of ProlotherapyInjection Therapy & Local Anesthetic Injection Therapy. Myofascial pain syndrome is a disease characterized by pain over the trigger point in a taut muscle band. After the correct diagnosis is made, many treatment methods can be applied.One of these treatments is the treatment with prolotherapyinjection. Proliferant reveals defense mechanisms remove them and then start the healing process in the damaged area. Usually, dextrose water is used. Lidocaine is an anesthetic. With lidocaine injection, the passage of painful stimuli is prevented and the opioid system is activated. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of prolotherapy and lidocaine treatment in the myofascial pain syndrome. This is a prospective randomized controlled study
Does prolotherapy have an effect on the care of pressure injuries? A pilot study. This study contributes to wound healing with prolotherapy in people with pressure injuries. The study was planned and conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of prolotherapy on the care of pressure injuries. The study was carried out with patients with pressure injuries in the intensive care unit of a city hospital between April and June 2023. A power analysis was performed, and the sample size was calculated as 20 patients, including 10 in the intervention and 10 in the control group. The patients in the experimental group were given wound care with gelofusine as prolotherapy in the morning and evening for three days, and the injury site was covered with a sterile sponge
Ultrasonography-Guided Dextrose Prolotherapy Versus Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Heel pain is prevalent in foot and ankle practice, with plantar fasciitis being a common cause of chronic heel pain in adults. It is a degenerative condition of the plantar fascia, rendering the term fasciitis inaccurate. The condition has , especially with initial morning steps. Plantar fasciitis is predominantly unilateral. Treatment options include prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), with this randomized controlled trial (RCT) aiming to evaluate the efficacy of PRP versus 25% dextrose prolotherapy in alleviating plantar fasciitis symptoms. This study aimed to assess the comparative effectiveness of USG-guided 25% dextrose
Comparison of the efficacy of ultrasound-guided dextrose 25% hypertonic prolotherapy and intra-articular normal saline injection on pain, functional limitation, and range of motion in patients with knee osteoarthritis; a randomized controlled trial. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating condition that manifests as knee pain and dysfunction. Clinicians prefer non-surgical options such as intra-articular injections for mild to moderate disease. Dextrose prolotherapy (DPTx) has been shown to have a beneficial effect on knee OA in the long-term. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), we aimed to compare DPTx with intra-articular normal saline injection (IA-NS) to treat knee OA in terms of effectiveness and patient-reported outcomes. The study was a double-blind RCT with an allocation

Comparison of Autologous Blood Injection and Dextrose Prolotherapy in the Treatment of Chronic Recurrent Temporomandibular Dislocation: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Prolotherapy is a minimally invasive technique that aims to functionally restore or repair the soft and hard tissues of the TMJ by injecting a stimulant. The present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of dextrose and autologous blood injection (ABI) as prolotherapy agents in the treatment of patients with chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation (CRTD).
