Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults over 35 with non-infected chronic leg ulcers who can attend regular outpatient visits and are not immunosuppressed are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with clinically infected ulcers, sepsis, or who are immunosuppressed are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this intervention.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This early-phase interventional study will apply autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) gel dressings to patients with non-infected chronic leg ulcers and follow wound healing over time. Wound severity and treatment response will be measured using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) at scheduled visits. Eligible participants are adults older than 35, while those with infected ulcers, sepsis, or immunosuppression are excluded. The trial is single-center and conducted at Pak Emirates Military Hospital in Rawalpindi.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, PRF gel dressings could speed ulcer healing, reduce pain and mobility loss, and decrease the need for prolonged wound care.
How similar studies have gone: Small case series and early clinical reports suggest PRF can promote healing in chronic wounds, but high-quality randomized data are still limited.
