“…Potentially, adding PRP therapy with other therapeutic choices like analgesics and/or physical therapy may lead to improved outcomes among patients with frozen shoulders. As we noted relatively short-term outcomes in the present set of patients with frozen shoulders adopting PRP therapy, the findings of Jakovljevic A et al, employing 12-month follow-up data further strengthen what we found in this study [ 17 ].…”

“…In 2017, a study was conducted involving 54 female patients with frozen shoulders to evaluate the effectiveness of PRP [ 17 ]. Three PRP injections were administered at a seven-day interval while the Quick Dash questionnaire was utilized to record the pre-intervention and post-intervention data after 30 days, three months, and 12 months following treatment.…”

Post-intervention Quick Dash scores were significantly improved following PRP treatment [ 17 ]. The authors came to the conclusion that the use of PRP was effective in reducing pain as well as functional outcomes among women with frozen shoulders.…”
