    Studysummary In this pilot study on treating dorsal wrist ganglion, PRP injection showed limited effectiveness at 1-year follow-up compared to aspiration alone, with most PRP-treated patients experiencing ganglion recurrence, suggesting that an RCT would need at least 46 patients per group to further assess PRP's utility.
