Power Plasma involves photoactivation of PRP to activate stem cells from a patient’s own blood. In addition, Power Plasma Platelet-rich plasma induces cell signaling molecules’ release, for example, nerve growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, and fibronectin. These molecules are very active in facilitating nerve regeneration with new blood flow as well.

In a randomized study looking at PRP for diabetic neuropathy, multiple peri-neural injections of PRP were performed vs traditional medical treatments in the control group. There were statistically significant decreases in pain and numbness in the PRP group as compared with the control group. (Hassanien et al. Perineural Platelet-Rich Plasma for Diabetic Neuropathic Pain, Could It Make a Difference?)

When PRP is injected around a nerve, the growth factors enhance nerve regeneration with an increase being seen in nerve axons, myelination, and electrophysiological parameters. Most likely, the benefits seen with PRP for diabetic neuropathy involves multiple factors. First, the local PRP could have enhanced angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and nerve regeneration capabilities.

Second, though, PRP could have decreased the local inflammation and swelling around the nerves permitting improved blood flow and new vessel formation to occur.

Essentially, every parameter you want to see improve did in the study. Pain decreased, numbness got better and the nerve conduction studies improved substantially.
