Effectiveness of dextrose prolotherapy for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Tunchanok Chutumstid et al.

Summary: Dextrose prolotherapy is an effective and safe treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis, reducing pain, improving foot functional score, and decreasing plantar fascia thickness. Further research is needed to optimize the treatment protocol.

Ultrasound-Guided Injection of Dextrose Versus Corticosteroid in Chronic Plantar Fasciitis Management: A Randomized, Double-Blind Clinical Trial

Gholamreza Raissi et al.

Summary: This randomized clinical trial evaluated and compared the effects of dextrose and corticosteroid injections on chronic plantar fasciitis. The results showed that corticosteroid injection may have better therapeutic effects early after injection, with similar outcomes to dextrose prolotherapy at 12 weeks post-injection.

Effects of Hypertonic Dextrose Injection (Prolotherapy) in Lateral Elbow Tendinosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Mengting Zhu et al.

Summary: This systematic review examines the effectiveness of hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy (DPT) in treating lateral elbow tendinosis (LET). The pooled results suggest that DPT can significantly reduce pain intensity and improve physical functioning in LET patients without major adverse events. DPT may be considered as a nonsurgical treatment option, especially for those refractory to first-line treatments.

A role for substance P and acid-sensing ion channel 1a in prolotherapy with dextrose-mediated analgesia in a mouse model of chronic muscle pain

Der-Sheng Han et al.

Summary: The study found that dextrose injections can reduce mechanical hypersensitivity in a mouse model of fibromyalgia. The effectiveness of this treatment depends on the type of injectant, dose, and volume, but not on osmolarity. The antinociceptive effects are mediated through the activation of ASIC1a and substance P signaling pathways in muscle afferents. This study provides insights into the mechanism of action of dextrose prolotherapy in noninflammatory muscle pain and potential treatments for other chronic pain conditions.

The Effectiveness of Hydrodissection with 5% Dextrose for Persistent and Recurrent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Retrospective Study

Ta-Chung Chao et al.

Summary: For patients with primary surgery failure for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), hydrodissection with 5% dextrose may be an effective treatment method for persistent or recurrent CTS after surgery. The treatment has shown positive long-term effectiveness, with a significant improvement in symptoms reported by the majority of patients.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Corticosteroids for the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Erik Hohmann et al.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis showed that PRP is superior to corticosteroid injections for pain control, lasting up to 1 year. Corticosteroid injections have no advantage in the short term. However, caution is needed due to the low study quality, high risk of bias, and variability in PRP preparation protocols.

The effectiveness of dextrose prolotherapy in plantar fasciitis A systemic review and meta-analysis

Wei-Fu Lai et al.

Summary: DPT treatment for plantar fasciitis showed superior pain relief in the short and medium-term compared to placebo or exercise, but inferior to corticosteroid injections. In terms of functional improvement, DPT was better than placebo or exercise in the short-term, but not as effective as corticosteroids or extracorporeal shock wave therapy.

Is Dry Needling Effective for the Management of Plantar Heel Pain or Plantar Fasciitis? An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Luis Llurda-Almuzara et al.

Summary: The meta-analysis suggests that dry needling can reduce pain intensity in the short term and improve pain intensity and related disability in the long term for patients with plantar heel pain. The evidence quality ranges from low to moderate, caution should be taken due to the limited number of trials.
