Blood-based injections flop

For all the sportsmen/women (including athletes) i’m talking about, this was chronic as the other treatment failed (none of them were Achilles injury). PRP injections are not used in “first intention” in my coutry. I don’t know if it’s the case in Netherland, but what makes me perplex is that they would give salt water (placebo) to professional athletes having chronic syndrome where first treatment failed, for the sake of science.

The patients were not professional athletes, and they received the standard treatment protocol (eccentric loading) concurrently with the injections.
