StemCellOrthopedic.com, popular website of the Institute of Regenerative and Molecular Orthopaedics (IRMO), world renowned stem cell therapy experts, applauds a recent study displaying the efficacy of platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy in treating patients with tennis elbow. This study comes on the heels of a wave of recent research exploring the effectiveness of PRP therapy on torn tendons, muscles, and more. This comes as good news to people around the world suffering from tennis elbow and many other painful ailments.


The analysis, from the Rothman Institute at Jefferson, included a multi-center randomized prospective study to research the clinical value of PRP. The study utilized 230 patients with chronic tennis elbow, where virtually one half was treated with PRP and the other half was the control group. The PRP group received single PRP injections into their extensor tendon. 

Both groups were studied for up to 24 weeks. By week 12, the PRP group reported a 55% improvement in pain, versus 47% for the control group. Concurrently, at week 12, the PRP group reported 37.4% significant elbow tenderness, compared to 48% from the control group. By the end of 24 weeks, the PRP group reported an outstanding 29% significant tenderness rating, versus 54% from the control.
