A significant improvement in Doppler activity (p = 0.04) and synovial thickening (p < 0.001) was found after 6 months of PRP. A significant correlation was found between age of patients, body mass index and disease duration with the VAS (r = 0.55, p < 0.001 and r = 0.29, p = 0.03 and r = 0.71, p < 0.001) and a negative correlation with the IKDC score (r = −0.32, p = 0.03, r = −0.96, p < 0.001 and r = −0.79, p < 0.001 respectively).
