Abstract

Since its invention in the 1970s, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in numerous fields, including hair loss, ligament repair, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. We concentrate on PRP administration in musculoskeletal rehabilitation in this review. PRP has a higher platelet concentration than normal since it is an autogenous blood plasma component. An overview of PRP's uses and research findings from randomised controlled trials conducted over the previous five years is what this review article attempts to deliver. In addition to discussing the various PRP classification schemes, the article highlights the significance of comprehending the factors influencing clinical outcomes and highlights the expansion of PRP in the market. Standardized reporting is necessary to ascertain PRP's full potential and the best ways to prepare and administer it, even if studies have shown its clinical utility.
