For functional improvement and pain alleviation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, Platelet Rich Plasma subacromial injection can be used.

The administration of subacromial Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection can be effective for pain relief; improve functional outcomes and sleep in patients with refractory rotator cuff tendinopathy, as learnt from study in ‘Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery‘.Furthermore, many athletes resumed sports at the same level as before.

Luciano A.Rossi et al. aimed to assess the efficacy of PRP injections in terms of pain improvement; functional outcomes; sleep troubles; resume sports activities prior to the injury.

Overall, 50 patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy refractory to conservative therapy were treated with subacromial injection of PRP. Mean follow-up was 1 year.

In case of functional outcomes, clinically notable improvement surpassing the substantial clinical benefit for the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score was observed in 80% patients (40 out of 50 patients) and Constant scores in 86 % patients (43 out of 50 patients).

All the mobility parameters assessed improved significantly after PRP injection. There was a significant improvement in visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment. Along with resolution of sleep troubles in majority of patients, 84% resumed sports and 78% returned with the same pace out of 32 patients who performed sports prior to the injury. No complications reported.
