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.
