Platelet-rich therapies for musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries

Summary

This Cochrane systematic review assessed the effects of platelet-rich therapies in treating musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries, including ligament, muscle, and tendon injuries. The review included randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing PRP with placebo, autologous whole blood, dry needling, or no treatment. The analysis found insufficient evidence to support the use of platelet-rich therapies for improving healing or functional outcomes in soft tissue injuries.
