About

INTRODUCTION: Vascular ulcers are an important pathology in the daily medical practice in all the assistance levels, and they have big repercussion referring to individual, social and labour levels, supposing a big consumption of human and material resources.The cure with autologous platelet rich plasma (autologous PRP) has demonstrated in different studies a decrease in the cicatrization time comparing to conventional methods in hospital levels, which becomes interesting contrasting its efficacy in primary care.

AIM:Evaluate the efficacy of the autologous PRP in the treatment of vascular ulcers, comparing to the conventional treatment ( cure with humid environment), in primary care patients with chronic venous insufficiency in C-6 degree (CEAP classification).

DESIGN: A study will be executed, which will consist in a randomized clinical test, multicentered, in parallel groups and opened. 150 patients suffering of venous vascular ulcers will be studied, who will be between the age of 40-100 years old, and who will be attached to 10 health centers. Variables for the identification, following, result and patient profile have been defined. Emphasize the variables of "ulcer area decreasing", "CIVIQ index", "% one cure per week".

Masking: Single Blind

0 participants in 2 patient groups

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Experimental group

Description:

Our goal is to evaluate the efficacy of the autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in the treatment of vascular ulcers, comparing to the conventional treatment (cure with humid environment), in primary care patients with chronic venous ulcer.

Treatment:

Drug: Platelet-Rich Plasma

Usual treatment

Active Comparator group

Description:

Usual treatment: Patients in the control group will be treated according to Osakidetza recommendations of humid environment cure. The choice of material for the cure depends on the prior assessment of the wound and surrounding skin, appearance and amount of exudate and the presence or absence of signs of infection. These cures will be performed every 48-72 hours.

Treatment:

Other: Usual treatment
