The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
I know of a very well done study that looked at honic acid and PRP together and that seemed to be more effective not astronomically more effective but more effective than the treatments that we have it's more effective the combination of those two but is it disease modifying and that's the big maybe because that's your question it and there are studies that show it may be pushing off knee replacements for those patients
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so right now PRP looks more effective at reducing symptoms than cortisone in the knee for arthritis is there any reason to believe it can delay the uh requirement for total knee replacement so maybe uh the we know that it if we look over the course of a year because this is what those trials looked at cortisone works very well in a short time frame it's pretty impressive the first couple weeks you get one and it helps there are some people who the pain comes right back so it doesn't have staying power when you compared steroids to PRP The PRP if you look out of of over a year they're doing better hyaluronic acid which is another thing we inject also is doing better than cortisone if you look out if you combine
