Treatment of Acute and Chronic Ligament and Tendon Injuries With Platelet Rich Plasma

NCT01406821 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2019-03-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Platelet rich plasma has been used in previous studies to stimulate faster healing of torn ligaments and tendons in order to help reduce pain and restore normal function. This study aims to prove that non-operative treatment of acute and chronic ligament and tendon injuries with platelet rich plasma will reduce the time needed for participants to heal these injuries and restore function.

We are currently enrolling patients with PATELLAR TENDON INJURIES in the KNEE.

Conditions

  • Tendinopathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injection

Blood will be drawn, and platelet-rich plasma will be injected into the tendon under ultrasound guidance.

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided dry needling

Blood will be drawn, and tendon will be penetrated with dry needle under ultrasound guidance. Nothing will be injected into the tendon.
