A clinician (Dr. Charles Mok) describes using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), sometimes combined with cross-linked hyaluronic material, as a three-treatment series to reduce arthritis-related joint pain. The speaker reports that roughly 80% of patients experience >50% pain reduction lasting about nine months to 1.5 years, and that the approach appears to work across mild to severe arthritis (including bone-on-bone), offering an alternative to pain pills, steroid injections, or knee replacement.

Chapters

We think somebody's got arthritis and it's mild to severe and they're not deformed, they've got normal, reasonably normal range of motion and just having pain. We want to reduce pain. One thing might be using platelet rich plasma or platelet rich fibrin, which again are basically the same thing. And we might add something to it like the hyaluronic material with cross linking. And we do a series of three treatments and we expect about 80% of people will get more than half reduction in pain for about nine months to a year and a half. So that's a good first step for somebody looking for alternative to taking pain pills, steroid injections or knee replacement. And it doesn't seem to matter how bad the arthritis is if it's bone on bone or just mild. It seems to work in all cases, perhaps more in mild arthritis. But in all cases we expect that 80% of people get 50% improvement for some period of time.
