original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Platelet-rich plasma injections for chronic plantar fasciopathy: a systematic review
Br Med Bull. 2014 Dec;112(1):83-95.8 studies were included in this systematic review examining whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are an effective treatment for chronic plantar fasciopathy (PF). While 2 of the studies indicated no significant improvement when platelet-rich plasma injections were administered compared to either corticosteroids (CCS) injections or dextrose prolotherapy, the other 6 studies indicated that PRP may be an effective intervention based mainly on VAS and Roles and Maudsley scores. No complications were observed in patients receiving PRP injections. However, due to contradictory results, no definitive conclusion can be reached at this point regarding the effectiveness of PRP injections for the treatment of plantar fasciopathy. Further randomized trials using placebo control groups are needed to determine if this treatment is efficacious.
