“…In the treatment of prolotherapy, injection is applied to the enthesis where the muscle adheres to the bone 9 . Although the diagnosis of enthesopathy is unclear, prolotherapy has focused on enthesis as a source of chronic low back pain 22 . Therefore, we similarly applied prolotherapy to enthesis in our study.…”

Objective: Shin Splints (SS) is one of the most common reasons for post-exercise pain especially in athletes and in army recruits. The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical study is to evaluate the effectivity of prolotherapy for the treatment of SS. Material-Method: Forty-four patients with shin splints have symptoms more than three months were divided into prolotherapy (n=22) and exercise (n=22) groups. Ultrasound-guided injections were performed under aseptic conditions using a 27 G needle with a solution of 6.6 ml 15% dextrose and 0.4 ml lidocaine to the posteromedial border of the tibia through up to seven different points (1 cc solution to each point) in the prolotherapy group for 3 times in every 21 days. The exercise program was given for 12 weeks to exercise group. The VAS and functional scores were performed at the beginning, 3, 6 and 24 weeks. Results: There were statistically significant differences in Lower Extremity Functional Score after 3, 6, 24 weeks, and VAS after 3 and 6 weeks of the treatment (p= 0.023, p=0.006, p=0.005, p=0.013, p<0.001 respectively). Conclusion: Prolotherapy can be preferred in the treatment of shin splints because of its rapid results. Also, an easy and inexpensive application method.

“…Hypertonic dextrose can induce hyperosmotic dehydration at the injection site, induce inflammatory reactions, increase glucose utilization, & encourage type III collagen fibres at the damage site to become type I collagen fibres, promoting repair. Hypertonic dextrose Prolotherapy can induce inflammatory reactions in damaged tissues and initiate body repair [ 8 , 9 ].…”

Background One of the most prevalent illnesses of the shoulder is rotator cuff tendinosis, which is also a major contributor to shoulder discomfort and shoulder joint dysfunction. According to statistics, rotator cuff tendinosis occurs in 0.3–5.5% of cases and affects 0.5–7.4% of people annually. It will be necessary to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of hypertonic glucose proliferation therapy in the treatment of rotator cuff problems. Methods The databases Cochrane PubMed, Library, Web of Science and EMbase, are retrieved by the computer. Individuals with rotator cuff lesions in the intervention group were treated with hypertonic dextrose proliferation therapy, whereas individuals in the control condition were treated with a placebo. Outcome markers for rotator cuff lesions patients; Pursuant to studies, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the shoulder pain & disability index (SPADI), & other metrics are used to evaluate the effects of hypertonic dextrose proliferation treatment on individuals with rotator cuff diseases. After carefully evaluating the calibre of the literature, data analysis was performed utilising the RevMan 5.3 programme. Results Meta-analysis finally contained 6 papers. In six investigations, the test & control group’s VAS scores improved, with the test team’s score considerably outperforming the control team [standardized mean difference (SMD): 1.10; 95% Cl: 0.37,1.83; P < 0.01], shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) score (SMD:8.13; 95% Cl: 5.34,10.91; P < 0.01), Flexion (SMD:5.73; 95% Cl: 0.99,10.47; P < 0.05), Abduction (SMD:6.49; 95% Cl: 0.66,12.31; P < 0.05), Internal rotation (SMD:-1.74; 95% Cl: -4.25,0.78; P = 0.176) and External rotation (SMD:2.78; 95% Cl: -0.13,5.69; P = 0.062). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that individuals with rotator cuff injuries may benefit from hypertonic dextrose proliferation treatment based on the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) score, Flexion, & Abduction. These results must, nevertheless, be supported by high-caliber follow-up research.
