Summary

This study tested a procedure called 'PRP Spinoplasty' for people with long-term lower back pain from disc disease, facet joint arthritis, and muscle spasms. 35 adults who had not improved with standard care received injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into multiple areas of the spine. Researchers measured pain levels and disability before and after treatment to see if the approach was safe and effective.

Active substance

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new injection-based option to ease chronic lower back pain and improve function without surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 35 people and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. PRP injections can cause temporary pain or infection.
