Building on our previous research, we investigate if the effect of platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy in the neck for people with chronic whiplash injuries is maintained one year after receiving treatment.
Over half of people in the study reported greater than 60% pain relief one year after receiving PRP treatment (with or without the addition of physiotherapy). 70% of people demonstrated 50% reduction of disability.
The effects of PRP are sustainable in the majority of people with chronic neck pain following whiplash injuries. At first glance, the results exceed those demonstrated in radiofrequency ablation, although further research is required to validate these findings.
