TLDR Mesotherapy is a skin injection therapy used for pain and local conditions, with scientific support but needing more clinical trials.
Mesotherapy, an intradermal therapy involving drug injection into the skin's surface layer, was used to treat localized pain syndromes and other local conditions by modulating drug kinetics for prolonged action. It was recommended when systemic drug-sparing effects were needed, other therapies failed, or when it could synergize with other treatments. Although lacking randomized clinical trials in some areas, there was a consensus on its nonpharmacological mechanisms, execution, and scientific rationale. The Italian Mesotherapy Society aimed to base its application on scientific evidence rather than personal bias.
