Summary

This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly into grade III ulcers can speed up healing. PRP is made from a small amount of the patient's own blood, processed to concentrate healing factors. Fifty adults with ulcers older than two weeks will receive either PRP injections or standard care. Researchers will measure changes in ulcer size and overall wound condition over 90 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a faster, more effective way to heal hard-to-treat ulcers using the patient's own blood.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase trial with only 50 participants. PRP may not heal ulcers faster than standard care, and results may not apply to all ulcer types.
