2012年1月至10月,对52例肱骨外上髁炎患者分别行富含血小板血浆(PRP;28例,PRP组)和糖皮质激素局部注射(24例,糖皮质激素组)治疗,对比两者的临床效果.注射治疗后1周时,两组间视觉模拟疼痛评分(VAS)和Mayo医院改良肘关节评分差异有统计学意义;治疗后1个月和6个月时PRP组优于糖皮质激素组(P<0.05).PRP痛点局部注射治疗肱骨外上髁炎临床效果良好,优于糖皮质激素治疗.
A total of 52 patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis were randomly assigned into platelet-rich plasma (PRP) (n =28) or corticosteroid (n =24) group.The visual analog pain scale (VAS) and Mayo elbow score had no significant difference between two groups within 1 week post-treatment.However,VAS and Mayo elbow score improved more significantly in PRP group versus corticosteroid group at Month 1 and 6 post-treatment (P < 0.05).The PRP trigger point injection treatment of elbow lateral epicondylitis achieved clinical outcomes and it was superior to glucocorticoid treatment.
