      whole blood for the treatment of tennis elbow].
PG  - 908-11
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To compare therapeutic effects of local injection with autoallergic 
      platelet rich plasma (PRP) or autoallergic whole blood (AWB) for the treatment of 
      chronic tennis elbow. METHODS: From January 2011 to January 2014, 40 patients 
      with chronic tennis elbow were divided into 2 groups, 20 cases in each group: PRP 
      group and AWB group. There were 20 patients in PRP group treated with local 
      injection of autoallergic platelet rich plasma, including 5 males and 15 females, 
      with an average age of (47.50 +/- 9.86) years old; and the average course of 
      disease was (4.67 +/- 3.27) months. Among the 20 patients in AWB group treated with 
      local injection of autoallergic whole blood, 3 patients were male and 17 patients 
      were female, with an average age of (46.50 +/- 9.96) years old;and the average 
      course of disease was (4.53 +/- 2.27) months. The elbow joint was fixed with 
      elastic stockings after injection. All the patients were guided to do 
      strengthening and extension exercises during the follow-up period. Visual analog 
      scale (VAS), Mayo scores for elbow and pressure pain threshold (PPT) were used to 
      evaluate clinical effects after injection immediately and 4,8 weeks after 
      treatment. Results:All the patients were followed up,there were no infections and 
      swelling occurred. The VAS, Mayo and PPT scores of patients in PRP group were 
      improved from pre-therapy 7.22 +/- 1.32, 56.71 +/- 10.90 and 17.47 +/- 4.62 to 2.73 +/- 
      1.00, 91.59 +/- 6.95 and 21.35 +/- 4.80 respectively 8 weeks after treatment. The 
      VAS, Mayo and PPT scores of patients in AWB group were improved from pre-therapy 
      7.16 +/-1.27, 54.72 +/- 8.36 and 17.06 +/- 4.83 to 3.81 +/- 1.36, 82.06 +/- 7.89 and 20.12 
      +/- 4.97 respectively 8 weeks after treatment. All the pain and functional 
      variables including VAS, PPT, and Mayo scores were improved significantly in both 
      groups 4 weeks after injection. On the 4th week after injection, there was no 
      statistically significant difference in PPT between two groups; while the VAS and 
      Mayo score of AWB group were lower than those of PRP group. On the 8th week after 
      injection, the VAS of AWB group was higher than that of PRP group; but the Mayo 
      and PPT scores of AWB group were lower than those of PRP group. CONCLUSION: PRP 
      and AWB injections are both effective to treat chronic lateral epicondylitis. 
      Compared with AWB injection, PRP injection may be more effective in releasing 
      pain and improving function for a longer time.
