- TL;DR Summary
- There are lots of studies concerning "platelet-rich plasma", but I am skeptical ....
I am skeptical about the scientific basis of "platelet-rich plasma" (PRP): the view expressed in https://www.painscience.com/articles/platelet-rich-plasma-does-it-work.php seems to sum up my objections, but as I am not in the medical field, I am not sure how valid such articles as https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3683340/ are. (Many such articles are published, as is this one, in "open source" journals, which always rings alarm bells, but on the other hand some open source journals actually do have decent peer review.) Is there any good science behind PRP?
