Autologous Blood Injection Therapy for tendinopathy

Results Autologous blood injection therapy has been shown to have a significant positive effect on both pain and joint function, with concomitant therapies not being demonstrated to be required in the management of tendinopathy. However, the majority of studies were representative of patients being treated for refractory epicondylitis with different procedure techniques being employed. No studies compared blood re-injection therapy with dry needling alone, with minimal data available from controlled studies preventing a placebo response from being ruled out.
