Wound healing and overview of acute, fibrotic and delayed healing. Data was only able to be pooled and analysed for the three studies with multiple interventions, and while a statistically significant overall difference between prolotherapy and other interventions was found for short- prolotherpy long-term SMD data, the small sample size and testing of various pathologies reduces the weight of these findings.
Position the patient on the table face down with the knee bent and the foot up in the air. The duration of surveillance was a 3-month blinded period, which was sufficient to see immediate improvements in outcome, but further long-term follow up would have been more beneficial in evaluating the effectiveness between groups.
A satisfaction survey was also performed.

Of the studies that were reviewed, only a small proportion were randomised controlled trials, with the majority of studies employing a prospective case-series design using a relatively small sample size and no control or usual care group.

Meta-analysis was only possible for three of the included studies.
Examination will reveal tenderness at the ligament attachments prolotyerapy the medial malleolus and calcaneous, navicular and talus anterior xnkle posterior talo-fibular ligaments, calcaneo-fibular ligament, and talo-navicular ligament.
Ryan [ 36 ]. Future research should also consider inclusion of other musculoskeletal disorders, recruitment of large sample sizes, standardisation of co-interventions, long-term follow-up, and systematic reporting of adverse events are needed. Single-blinded randomised controlled trial.
The injection procedure was performed under aseptic conditions using a gauge needle.
Ankle and Foot Treatment with Prolotherapy
The lateral ligament complex is weaker than the medial, resulting in ankles being sprained laterally much more commonly than medially. The proolotherapy studies relating to chronic plantar fasciopathy included in this review indicate that injections of dextrose and lignocaine reduces pain in the majority of participants. Pain results were monitored with individual prolotherapy recovergrams which were compiled in a study recovergram.
The aim of this anole was to review the clinical effectiveness and safety of prolotherapy injections for treatment of lower limb tendinopathy and fasciopathy. Studies involving non-human participants i.

In general, the selection of outcome measures was clinically appropriate and the duration of surveillance was adequate. Both authors read and approved the final manuscript. The ankle is made up of: All five studies reported a significant reduction in pain following prolotherapy treatment.
Objective data included in the analyses were: Only a few of the variety of prolotherapy interventions have been evaluated and the interventions that have been evaluated assessed different anatomical and physiological pathologies, thus no conclusive comparisons can be made between them.
