Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) dressings versus Normal Saline dressings in the treatment of chronic wounds. Chronic wounds are slow-healing wounds that can cause significant discomfort, increase the risk of infections, and impact a patient's quality of life. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from the patient's own blood and contains growth factors that may help promote faster wound healing. On the other hand, Normal Saline dressings are commonly used as a standard wound care approach. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive either PRP dressings or normal saline dressings. The healing progress of their wounds will be monitored over a specified period to determine which treatment leads to better and faster healing. The findings from this study may help improve wound care management and provide evidence for using PRP as an effective treatment for chronic wounds.
