Platelet-rich gel for chronic leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a gel made from a small sample of your own blood to help heal chronic leg ulcers that have not improved with standard care. The gel is applied to the wound and may help it heal faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) to help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if this treatment can improve wound healing compared to standard care.
This study tests a new gel that helps remove dead tissue from venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are open sores on the leg that happen when veins don't work well. The gel is applied to the ulcer to clean it and help it heal. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a venous leg ulcer that is not too large and has been there for a few weeks.
This study tests a special gel called PAW-Hydrogel to help heal chronic wounds (wounds that have not closed after 3+ months). The gel may help wounds close faster by supporting the natural healing process.
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 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 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.
