A recent search on PubMed turned up some very interesting studies regarding PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma and LLLT - Low Level Laser Therapy. While there are thousands of scientific studies on both PRP and LLLT used individually, it is finally good to see some studies on the combined effects.
Lasers Med Sci. 2016 Jan;31(1):19-26. Analysis of experimental tendinitis in rats treated with laser and platelet-rich plasma therapies by Raman spectroscopy and histometry.
Lasers Med Sci. 2015 May;30(4):1305-13. doi: 10.1007/s10103-015-1733-6. Epub 2015 Mar 11. Evaluation of low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma, and their combination on the healing of Achilles tendon in rabbits.
Lasers Med Sci. 2013 Nov;28(6):1489-94. doi: 10.1007/s10103-012-1241-x. Epub 2013 Jan 10. Low-level laser therapy combined with platelet-rich plasma on the healing calcaneal tendon: a histological study in a rat model.
