Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of regenerative medicine compared to conventional orthopedic treatments in a randomized controlled trial. The research focused on pain reduction, functional improvement, range of motion, and patient satisfaction. Participants were randomly assigned to either the Regenerative Medicine Group, receiving treatments such as stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, or the Control Group, which received standard orthopedic care. Major findings revealed that the Regenerative Medicine Group experienced significantly greater reductions in pain, improved functional outcomes, enhanced range of motion, and higher patient satisfaction compared to the Control Group. These results suggest that regenerative therapies offer superior benefits over traditional treatments, providing more effective pain management and functional recovery. The study concludes that regenerative medicine has the potential to transform orthopaedic care by addressing both symptoms and underlying conditions more effectively. Future research should focus on long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and optimizing treatment protocols.
