Abstract

Background: Chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant complication of diabetes, 
often leading to prolonged hospital stays, increased morbidity, and higher healthcare costs. 
This study evaluates the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) dressing in 
promoting the healing of chronic DFUs compared to conventional saline dressing.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients with chronic DFUs, 
divided into two groups: one receiving PRP dressing and the other treated with saline 
dressing. Patients were monitored for wound healing parameters, including reduction in ulcer 
size, necrotic tissue coverage, pain levels, and overall recovery time. Hospital stay duration, 
number of debridements, and dressing changes were also recorded.
