Prolotherapy involves the injection of nonbiologic solutions, typically at soft
tissue attachments and within joint spaces, to reduce pain and improve function
in painful musculoskeletal conditions. A variety of solutions have been used;
dextrose prolotherapy is the most rigorously studied and is the focus of this
review. Although the mechanism of action is not clearly known, it is likely to be
multifactorial. Data on effectiveness for temporomandibular dysfunction are
promising but insufficient for recommendations. Research on the mechanism of
action and clinical effects of dextrose prolotherapy are under way.
