PRGF Effectiveness for Myofascial Pain Treatment in Masticatory Muscles

Plasma rich in growth factors will be prepared following the protocol described by E. Anitua. 9 ml of patients venous blood will be taken into one tube with 3,8% sodium citrate used as an anticoagulant. The blood then will be centrifuged (PRGF Centrifuge System, Biotechnology Institute, Vitoria, Spain) at room temperature for 8 min at 1800 rpm. After centrifugation 1 ml of 2nd plasma fraction will be collected by using a pipet. To activate plasma 10% calcium chloride will be used immediately before injecting plasma into the trigger point in the masseter muscle.

1 ml 2 % Lidocaine will be injected into the trigger point in the patient's masseter muscle.
