New test could reveal if a 'Healed' wound is actually still broken

NCT ID NCT02577120

Summary

This study is testing if a simple skin moisture measurement can better predict whether a healed chronic wound will reopen. It compares this new measurement to the current standard of just looking at the wound. The goal is to find a more reliable way to know when a wound is truly healed, which could help prevent painful and costly recurrences.
