The ability to repair tissue via percutaneous means may allow interventional pain physicians to manage a wide variety of diseases including peripheral joint injuries and osteoarthritis. This review will highlight the developments in cellular medicine that may soon permit interventional pain management physicians to treat a much wider variety of clinical conditions and highlight an interventional case study using these technologies.

OBJECTIVE:

We assessed the effectiveness of regenerative injection therapy (RIT) to relieve pain and restore function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

The objective of this study was to determine whether prolotherapy, an injection-based complementary treatment for chronic musculoskeletal conditions, improves pain, stiffness, and function in adults with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) compared to baseline status.

Abstract

There are few diagnostic tools for chronic musculoskeletal pain as structural imaging methods seldom reveal pathological

alterations. This is especially true for Whiplash Associated Disorder, for which physical signs of persistent injuries to the neck

have yet to be established. Here, we sought to visualize inflammatory processes in the neck region by means Positron

Emission Tomography using the tracer 11C-D-deprenyl, a potential marker for inflammation. Twenty-two patients with

enduring pain after a rear impact car accident (Whiplash Associated Disorder grade II) and 14 healthy controls were

investigated. Patients displayed significantly elevated tracer uptake in the neck, particularly in regions around the spineous process of the second cervical vertebra. This suggests that whiplash patients have signs of local persistent peripheral tissue inflammation, which may potentially serve as a diagnostic biomarker. The present investigation demonstrates that painful processes in the periphery can be objectively visualized and quantified with PET and that 11C-D-deprenyl is a promising tracer for these purposes.
