What the literature leaves open

  • The specific signalling pathways involved remain unclear. The clinical efficacy of PRP shows some variability across studies. The meta-analysis by Tang et al. currently represents the highest-quality evidence in the field of PRP treatment for intrauterine adhesions, demonstrating that PRP significantly increases endometrial thickness, improves menstrual volume and enhances clinical pregnancy rates (OR 1.82).
