Ultrasound Guided Dextrose Prolotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy in Chronic Low Back Pain: Three Case Reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
For patients with osteoarthritis (OA) involving the spine, proper diagnosis, pain management and functional outcomes remain poor and inconsistent. This is despite widely used therapies such as steroid and Botulinum toxin injections, chemonucleolysis, radiofrequency denervation, intradiscal electrothermal therapy, pain management pumps, spinal cord stimulators, and surgery [1,2]. Most of these options also include adverse side effect profiles and significant complications risks.
