Introduction: Peripheral neuropathies, including pudendal neuralgia, often involve a complex interplay of chronic inflammation, ischemia, and axonal injury. These conditions are notoriously difficult to manage once conservative measures fail. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), an autologous concentrate of platelets and growth factors, has emerged as a regenerative therapy with potential to address underlying nerve pathology. Its proposed mechanisms include neurotrophic support, angiogenesis, immunomodulation, and Schwann cell activation—making it an attractive adjunct in neuropathic pain management.
