The use of plasma rich in growth factors has become a technique increasingly used in various fields of medicine. Since its inception in use in sports medicine and dental implants in the mid-80s, gradually it has expanded its field of use in clinical specialties. The power cell tropism for certain tissues, attributed to growth factors, has currently talked of a new medical discipline as Regenerative Medicine. Not only has experienced an ever increasing boom in various medical specialties, but simultaneously has increased exponentially types and methodology for obtaining application forms even for the same pathology. So much so that now its use has exceeded the capacity to produce scientific evidence for successful clinical application.
The use of plasma growth factors is opening a new field of clinical application in medicine, developing a new discipline called regenerative medicine. In many fields such as traumatology, dental implantology or anesthesia, the use of this biotechnology is improving the quality of life of patients, through techniques that are not invasive but with extraordinary functional results. A discipline where this type of procedure opens an interesting field of application is undoubtedly neurology, especially those processes of ischemic or hypoanoxic origin such as cerebral palsy, where recent studies point to an improvement of cognitive abilities in patients, together with specific neurorehabilitation therapies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
