Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment application that aims to initiate the local inflammatory healing process by injecting biological substances. Some side effects observed due to the application of prolotherapy, which has recently found widespread use for the treatment of many diseases, are found in the literature. In this review, considerations, side effects and contraindications related to prolotherapy application are presented by considering literature search. Pubmed and Cochrane databases were scanned using the words "prolotherapy, side effects, adverse, contraindication " and articles published between 1960 and 2023 were examined. In general, prolotherapy is similar to other injection methods in terms of side effect profile and contraindications, however, it is predicted that the experience of the person performing the application and the use of a guiding imaging method in the application will help to reduce these side effects.

Proloterapinin Sekonder ve İyatrojenik Etkileri

Öz

Proloterapi, biyolojik maddelerin enjekte edilerek lokal inflamatuar iyileşme sürecini başlatmayı hedefleyen rejeneratif bir tedavi uygulamasıdır. Son zamanlarda birçok hastalığın tedavisine yönelik yaygın kullanım alanı bulan proloterapi uygulamasına bağlı gözlemlenen bazı yan etkiler literatürde sunulmuştur. Bu derlememizde proloterapi uygulaması ile ilişkili uygulamada dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar, yan etkiler ve kontrendikasyon durumları genel olarak incelenmiştir. Genel olarak proloterapi, yan etki profili ve kontrendikasyonlar açısından diğer enjeksiyon yöntemleri ile benzerlik göstermekte, ancak, uygulamayı yapan kişinin tecrübesi ve uygulamada rehber bir görüntüleme yöntemi kullanılmasının yan etkilerin azalmasına yardımcı olacağı öngörülmektedir
