Summary
New treatments for persistent DFU have emerged, among which are the bioengineered skin substitutes, extracellular matrix proteins products, matrix metalloproteinases modulators, and growth factor therapy. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel has been used for stimulating wound healing since the last decade of the 20th century. This randomized trial was conducted to assess the role of PRP in gel form as a treatment for clean non-healing diabetic foot ulcer in comparison to regular dressing with saline as a control.
