Effectiveness of Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Injection for the Treatment of Collateral Ligament Pain

Conducted by Binh Luu Thi, Lan Tran Thi, and Minh Hang Hoang Thi at Thai Nguyen National Hospital, the study investigates a new approach to treating persistent collateral ligament pain, common among athletes. The research examines the therapeutic use of hydrolyzed collagen peptide injections, a treatment that addresses pain and inflammation in ways previous methods have not. The study involves a randomized controlled trial with 62 patients, all diagnosed with inflammation in the collateral ligament site. The patients are split into two groups: one receiving collagen injections alongside oral painkillers and the other receiving depo-medrol injections with oral painkillers.
