Abstract :

The purpose of study is to explore the efficacy and safety of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and adipose-derived stem cells in the nonoperative management of shoulder tendinopathy amongst individuals with spinal cord injury. In this case in road traffic accidents that cause spinal injuries to the central nervous system, which increased morbidity and motility. The complications in patients were developed, resulting to a challenging problem for medicine. Platelet is the important component of blood which naturally holds the growth factors and cytokines. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, PRP contains several different growth factors and other cytokines stimulating and healing of soft tissue. Platelet rich plasma therapy utilizes growth factors present in alpha granules of platelets in autologous adult stem cells reside in adult tissues and serve as the source for their specialized cells. In response to specific factors and signals, adult stem cells can differentiate and give rise to functional tissue specialized cells. In recent advancement in the field of regenerative medicine it was thought that this would grant a new approach to this problem, as it had proven beneficial in the repair of peripheral nerve injuries and their regeneration. This study was done to evaluate the effect of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and adult stem cells (ASC) and its effect on the spinal cord post trauma. Subsequently, it was seen that PRP and ASC proved beneficial with marked positive effects in both muscle tone and muscle control and marked clinical improvement although it can still be said that further research must be done in this field.
