Step-Up Regenerative Injection Therapy for Severe Chronic Low Back Pain Utilizing Epidural Dextrose Solution (Prolotherapy), Local Platelet-Rich Plasma, and Epidural Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Case Report and Suggested Protocol
Abstract
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a prevalent problem that rarely resolves completely and frequently has a negative impact on mood, activity, and mobility. Conservative pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies have limited efficacy, and there is an unmet therapeutic need for these patients. The authors report a case of a 38-year-old male patient with a 6-year history of moderate to severe back pain, significantly impaired mobility and neurologic deficits that were resistant to a wide range of conservative therapies.
