Platelet-rich plasma for face and neck skin grafts
Treatments studied
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of healing cells from your own blood) to a face or neck skin graft helps the graft heal better and improves recovery. If you need a skin graft for an injury, burn, or after surgery, this might be an option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a skin defect on your face or neck that needs a full-thickness skin graft (the whole thickness of skin is replaced).
- The wound is no larger than about the size of a credit card (3 to 6 square centimeters).
- The area where the graft will go is healthy—clean, with good blood flow, and no dead tissue.
- You do not have any serious health issue that slows healing (like uncontrolled diabetes, poor blood flow, immune problems, or bleeding disorders).
- You are not taking blood thinners or steroids right now.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal deep skin ulcers (Grade III) that have been present for more than two weeks. It may be a good option if you have a normal platelet count and are not in palliative care.
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.
This study tests a treatment made from your own blood that is applied to a wound that has not healed after standard care. The goal is to see if this gel can help the wound close and heal better.
This trial tests whether using platelet-rich plasma—made from the patient's own blood or a donor's—helps heal diabetes-related wounds in people who also have kidney problems. The goal is to find out if one source of platelets works better than the other for these patients.
This study tests two ways of preparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a treatment made from your own blood that may help gum tissue heal. The goal is to see if the enhanced version works better on gum cells than the standard one.
This trial tests whether mesenchymal stem cells (a type of healing cell) can help burn wounds recover better when combined with skin grafting. The goal is to improve how well the grafted skin takes and heals.
