    TLDR A standardized consent form for PRP injections improves patient trust and legal protection.
    Pai et al. developed a standardized informed consent form for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to address medico-legal concerns and ensure patient rights. The form, created through literature review and interviews, was validated by legal experts and used with 172 patients over one year without issues. It promotes transparency, patient autonomy, and legal protection, enhancing communication and trust between patients and clinicians. The form has been well-received, and future efforts should focus on cross-cultural validation and adaptation to support patient-centered care and ethical standards.
