Abstract EN
Mesotherapy is the injection of active substances into the surface layer of the skin.
This method allows a slower spread, higher levels, and longer lasting effects of drugs in the tissues underlying the site of injection (skin, muscle, and joint) compared with those following intramuscular injection.
This technique is useful when a local pharmacological effect is required and relatively high doses of drug in the systemic circulation are not.
Mesotherapy should only be undertaken following a complete clinical workup and subsequent diagnosis.
Encouraging results have been reported in randomized, controlled clinical trials and in observational studies involving patients with various forms of musculoskeletal pain.
Recommendations by experts from the Italian Society of Mesotherapy for appropriate use of mesotherapy in musculoskeletal pain and an algorithm for treating localized painful conditions are provided.
