| Popis: | Background To perform an updated systematic review with meta-analysis on trials focusing on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), nerve conduction studies (NCS) result and cross sectional area (CSA) measurements of those who underwent PRP injection for mild to moderate CTS, versus a control. Conclusion This study indicates that there may be a potential role for the use of PRP in the non-operative management of mild to moderate CTS results in improvements in pain scores, functional outcomes as well as CSA measurements of the MN at short-term follow-up. However, PRP does not result in improvements in NCS. Level of evidence II; Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis of Prospective Trials |
