TLDR
At 1-year follow-up, a PRP injection was found to be no more effective in improving quality of life, pain, disability, and shoulder range of motion than placebo in patients with chronic RCT who were treated with an exercise program.Abstract:
Background:Rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) is a significant source of disability and loss of work. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been suggested to be beneficial in the treatment of RCT.Purpose:To investigate the effect of PRP injections on pain and shoulder functions in patients with chronic RCT.Study Design:Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1.Methods:A total of 40 patients, 18 to 70 years of age, with (1) a history of shoulder pain for >3 months during overhead-throwing activities, (2) MRI findings of RCT or partial tendon ruptures, and (3) a minimum 50% reduction in shoulder pain with subacromial injections of an anesthetic were included in this placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomized into a PRP group (n = 20) or placebo group (n = 20). Patients received an ultrasound-guided injection into the subacromial space that contained either 5 mL of PRP prepared from autologous venous blood or 5 mL of saline solution. All patients underwent a 6-week sta...read more

An Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma Was Not More Effective Than Placebo for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
TL;DR: Patients: Forty patients who were 18 to 70 years of age had pain in the shoulder or lateral deltoid area that was exacerbated by overhead throwing activity and had to show at least 50% improvement in pain on the Neer impingement test after a subacromial injection of local anesthetic.

TL;DR: Though multiple studies have suggested good pain control with PRP injection, many studies have found thatPRP injection therapy may not be any better than the physical therapy regimen prescribed to patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

TL;DR: High negative correlations between changes in SPADi scores and changes in shoulder ROM indicated the SPADI detected changes in clinical status over short time intervals, and should prove useful for both clinical and research purposes.

TL;DR: Treatment of patients with chronic elbow tendinosis with buffered platelet-rich plasma reduced pain significantly in this pilot investigation and should be considered before surgical intervention.

TL;DR: Although the patient characteristics of specific disorders showed some similarities with the clinical pictures described in the literature, further research is required to demonstrate whether the proposed syndromes indeed constitute separate disorders with a different underlying pathology, requiring different treatment strategies.

TL;DR: Among patients with chronic Achilles tendinopathy who were treated with eccentric exercises, a PRP injection compared with a saline injection did not result in greater improvement in pain and activity, and was not significantly different between both groups.
