Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–45 with clinical and electrophysiological evidence of a traumatic peripheral nerve injury and ongoing deficits for at least four weeks.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with complete nerve transection without surgical repair or other exclusion criteria may not benefit, and results may be limited for those with active infection or coagulopathy.

What this trial studies
This prospective study compares ultrasound-guided PRP injections plus rehabilitation to conservative management in patients with traumatic peripheral nerve injury. It is non-randomized and uses a control cohort that does not receive PRP. Eligible participants are 18–45 years old with clinical evidence of injury, electrophysiological confirmation, ultrasound findings, and stable deficits for at least four weeks. The intervention consists of US-guided PRP injections and a rehabilitation program, with outcomes focused on nerve regeneration and functional recovery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, PRP injections could improve nerve regeneration and functional outcomes for patients with traumatic peripheral nerve injuries.
How similar studies have gone: Previous approaches using PRP for nerve injuries have shown mixed results; this study evaluates a focused, ultrasound-guided approach in a controlled setting.
