injected (15% dextrose 20 cc + 2% lidocaine 1cc). Visural analog scale was used for pain assessment.
Result The distribution of patients was 10 female and 5 male patients. The average age was 57.93. After 4 sessions, VAS values decreased significantly. Painful conditions that do
not pass after prolotherapy repetitive back surgery operations can also be applied.
Conclussion The lowest was 30 years old, the highest was 85 years old. A total of 4 sessions were performed for each patient with an interval of 15 days. At the end of 4 sessions, VAS
