PRP vs PRF vs standard care for chronic skin ulcers
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin) can help heal chronic skin ulcers better than standard care. If you have a non-healing ulcer that fits the size and duration criteria, and you are generally healthy, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
