PRP and Phenol for Pilonidal Sinus in Children
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a special blood concentrate (platelet-rich plasma) with a crystallized phenol solution can better treat pilonidal sinus in children and teens. It may help heal the infection with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
