Pain and functional outcomes of the sacroiliac joint after platelet-rich plasma injection: a descriptive review. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The purpose of this manuscript is to highlight and review the status of literature regarding efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction. A review of the literature on PRP interventions on the SIJ or ligaments was performed. Seven studies had improvements in their respective primary end point and demonstrated a strong safety profile without any serious adverse events. Only five articles demonstrated clinical efficacy of >50% in their primary outcome measures. There appears to be inconsistent and insufficient evidence for a conclusive recommendation for or against SIJ PRP. There is a need for adequately powered well-designed, standardized, double-blinded randomized clinical trials to determine the effectiveness of PRP in SIJ-mediated pain.
