Leukocyte poor platelet rich plasma vs leukocyte rich platelet rich plasma as a treatment for cervical facetogenic pain: A pooled analysis
These preliminary findings suggest that LR-PRP appears to provide greater long-term benefits for cervical facetogenic pain compared to LP-PRP, with superior pain reduction, improved function, and a favorable safety profile. These findings suggest the higher leukocyte concentration in LR-PRP may enhance therapeutic outcomes for cervical pain. Further large-scale, randomized trials are necessary to confirm these results and establish standardized PRP preparation protocols.
