Platelet-Rich Plasma for Episiotomy Healing
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal an episiotomy cut faster than standard care. It is for women who had a vaginal delivery with a simple episiotomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a treatment made from your own platelets (platelet-rich plasma) can help the uterus heal after an elective C-section. You may be considered if you are full-term and having a planned C-section.
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.
