Short Commentary to the Prolotherapy as a Treatment Method of the Arthritis

The authors performed a short review of the method prolotherapy. This treatment method, known also as proliferation therapy, is an injection based /hypertonic dextrose/ treatment used for a various painful and chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions.

In the article the knee osteoarthritis, patellafemoral syndrome and osteoarthritis of carpometacarpal joints is mentioned. The others possible indications are tendinitis, low back pain. The principle of this method is application of the solution into the joint.

Most commonly hyperosmolar dextrose, glycerine, lidocaine phenol and sodium morrhuate.It is an interesting study and in my opinion it is suitable for publication, but there are some questions. What about the indications criteria for this method e.g. in knee osteoarthritis, which degree of arthrosis.
