Study summary

Platelet-rich plasma injections may help curvature, with a delayed effect

PRP trial · Phase 2 · Published February 2024, International Journal of Impotence Research

What was tested

Platelet-rich plasma, made from the man's own blood, injected into the plaque, against placebo, in a crossover trial.

What they found

• In the group given PRP first, median curvature fell from 40 to 25 degrees by 6 months.
• The group given placebo first did not change significantly.
• Erections were unchanged.

What it means

Small and early. Needs a larger trial before it can be recommended.
