Today’s Research Article

Safety and efficacy of platelet-rich plasma in treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome; a randomized controlled trial

Summary:

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in conjunction with wrist splinting versus wrist splinting alone for women with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Over 10 weeks, both groups showed significant improvement in pain, symptom severity, and functional status. However, PRP did not provide significant additional benefits compared to splinting alone in any outcome measures, including electrophysiological parameters. The study highlights PRP’s theoretical potential for nerve regeneration but concludes that its effects may require a longer follow-up period to manifest fully.

The short follow-up duration, small sample size, and lack of a placebo-controlled group limit the study's conclusions. While the trial demonstrated PRP’s safety with minimal side effects, it failed to establish significant advantages over conservative treatments in the short term. The authors recommend further high-quality, long-term studies to explore the delayed effects of PRP and determine its true efficacy in CTS treatment.
