Implication

Prospective controlled study shows PRP injections improve pain relief in facet joint syndrome, indicating effective long-term outcomes compared to local anesthetics.

Key Points

PRP injections significantly reduced pain scores up to one year post-treatment compared to baseline (p<0.001).
Patients receiving PRP showed about 50% improvement in Oswestry disability scores, remaining significant at one year (p<0.01).
Both PRP and local anesthetics showed initial pain relief, but PRP was superior from six months onward compared to local anesthetics.
CT-guided PAT injections of LpPRP effectively treat facet joint mediated low back pain for chronic pain patients.
