Effect of the Rich Plasma in Growth Factors on the Cicatrization of Diabetic Ulcers

Detailed Summary

Diabetic foot is defined by World Health Organization as a syndrome in which the presence of neuropathy, ischemia and infection cause tissue damage or ulcers from minor trauma. This condition can be controlled in its early stages with conservative treatment, which is effective in preventing infections and amputations. However, even with the new knowledge acquired and the development of new therapies, the specialist often faces wounds that do not improve despite the proper treatment, so therapies have been sought to help the healing of these Ulcers. Growing evidence suggests that healing of chronic diabetic foot ulcers depends on growth factors and that the therapeutic use of these in wounds has the potential to accelerate their healing in conjunction with wound care Conventional. This study evaluates the effect of plasma rich in autologous growth factors on healing chronic ulcers of diabetic origin. This is a randomized clinical trial that evaluates two study groups. Control group in which advanced weekly healing will be performed while the post-advanced healing study group will be performed the intradermal application of plasma rich in growth factors. These manoeuvres will be performed once a week for four weeks and at the end of the study the results in both groups will be checked. Both groups will also evaluate, frequency and intensity of pain, quality of life, histological changes in ulcers and metabolic evaluation
