Study Alert
⚡ Efficacy and Safety of Pulsed Radiofrequency Combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma for Postherpetic Neuralgia. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background
Herpes zoster–associated neuralgia (HZN) results from reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus within spinal nerves, leading to persistent inflammation, neuronal injury, and peripheral/central sensitization, with a major impact on quality of life. While pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is an established interventional option, a subset of patients experience suboptimal pain relief or progression to postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

Rationale for Combination Therapy

✓ PRF modulates pain at a microscopic/subcellular level by regulating synaptic plasticity, suppressing ectopic discharges, and enhancing descending inhibitory pathways
✓ PRP provides neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory effects via growth factor release, supporting tissue repair and neural recovery
Methods 🔬

✓ Systematic search of multiple databases
✓ Clinical studies included from database inception through December 2024
✓ Primary outcome: postoperative pain intensity
✓ Secondary outcomes: sleep quality, rescue analgesic use, and adverse events
Results 📊
• 7 studies included
• 568 patients analyzed
• PRF + PRP produced significantly greater pain reduction compared with PRF alone
• No significant pain difference at 1 week; superior pain relief at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks
• Consistent improvement in sleep quality at all follow-up intervals
• Reduced postoperative rescue analgesic requirements
• No increase in adverse events, with comparable safety profiles between groups

Conclusion 📌
The combination of PRF and PRP is more effective than PRF alone for the management of postherpetic neuralgia, providing superior pain control, improved sleep quality, and reduced reliance on rescue analgesics- without compromising safety. These findings support PRF + PRP as a promising and well-tolerated therapeutic strategy for shingles-related neuropathic pain.

Welcome to EmCyte Insights – Weekly Mini Journal Club
Spotlight: Outcomes of iliac crest bone marrow aspirate injection for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.*

Plantar fasciitis is usually treated nonoperatively, but some patients continue to have heel pain despite months of stretching, orthotics, immobilization, and therapy. For these recalcitrant cases, options like repeat injections, shockwave, or surgery carry tradeoffs.

Why BMAC?
Concentrated bone marrow aspirate provides a cell- and growth-factor rich biologic environment aimed at promoting tissue repair rather than just reducing inflammation, potentially “resetting” chronic degenerative pain.

Study design:
Case series of patients with ≥12 months of symptoms despite extensive conservative care. Iliac crest bone marrow was aspirated, concentrated, and ~6 mL injected at the point of maximal plantar fascia tenderness. Patients followed a staged non–weight-bearing to boot protocol.

Results:
*19 patients (mean age 52.6; symptoms ~2.5 years)
* Mean VAS improved from 7.5 pre-injection to 2.3 at 6 weeks and 1.1 at 48 weeks
* No donor-site or injection-related complications
* One patient required a repeat PRP+BMAC injection at 1 year with symptom relief

Takeaway:
In this small series, a single BMAC injection led to rapid, durable pain reduction through 48 weeks with an excellent safety profile, suggesting a potential option before surgery in selected patients. Larger controlled studies are needed to compare BMAC with PRP, shockwave, or surgery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma for Post-Traumatic Olfactory Dysfunction

Emerging evidence suggests that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections into the olfactory cleft may represent a therapeutic option for patients with post-traumatic olfactory dysfunction (OD).

🔬 A recent preliminary clinical study evaluated 33 patients with chronic post-traumatic OD (mean duration ≈ 56 months) and compared outcomes with patients undergoing olfactory training (OT).

Key findings:

✓ 66.7% of PRP-treated patients reported subjective olfactory improvement
✓ Objective olfactory function (TDI: threshold, discrimination, identification) improved significantly after PRP
✓ Only the PRP group achieved a minimal clinically important difference
✓ TDI scores at 3 months were significantly higher in PRP-treated patients compared with OT alone
✓ Clinical improvement was observed as early as 3 months post-treatment
Clinical relevance:
Post-traumatic OD remains a challenging condition with limited treatment options. These findings suggest that PRP may promote clinically meaningful olfactory recovery, even in patients with long-standing dysfunction.

📌 Conclusion: PRP injection into the olfactory cleft may be a promising adjunctive treatment for post-traumatic olfactory dysfunction.
