Abstract

Objective: This study was to evaluate the role of PRP injection in trigger points for treatment of myofacial pain (MFP). Methods: This study included 11 female patients complaining of MFP. Clinical examination was made to locate the trigger points in masseter and temporalis muscles. Preoperative evaluation was made for Maximal interincisal opening (MIO), pain using visual analogue scale (VAS) and tenderness. PRP was prepared from the blood of the patient and injected into the trigger points. Follow up was made to detect changes in VAS and MIO at 4, 12 and 24 weeks. All readings were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results: the study showed a statistical improvement in MIO and VAS in the muscles of mastication. Conclusion: the injection of PRP into trigger points can be considered as one of the treatments of MFP.
