Using your own blood to treat chronic wounds
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment made from your own blood, called platelet-rich fibrin, to help heal wounds that haven't closed after 30 days of standard care. It's for people with leg ulcers, pressure sores, or other chronic wounds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- You have a wound that has been open for at least 30 days and is mild to moderate in severity
- The wound is between 1 and 25 square centimeters in size
- Your wound has not closed by 40% or more with standard care in the last 30 days
- You are not currently infected in the wound area and have no bone infection
- Your blood counts and clotting tests are within normal ranges

This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
This trial tests if adding a special wound dressing made from pig placenta to standard care helps heal leg ulcers faster than standard care alone. You may qualify if you have a leg ulcer that has not shown much improvement in the last 4 weeks.
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 trial tests if a gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) can help heal chronic leg ulcers that are not infected. It may be a good option if you have a long-lasting leg ulcer without signs of infection.
This trial tests a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF) to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that are not getting better with standard care. It may be an option if you have a mild-to-moderate ulcer on the bottom of your foot with good blood flow and no infection.
This trial tests if a special treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes and poor circulation in their legs. The goal is to see if it improves wound healing compared to standard care.
