Pakistan60 participantsStarted 2024-04-16

Plain-language summary

This study is testing whether autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) dressings are more effective than normal saline dressings in treating heel pad injuries caused by motorcycle wheel spokes among children in Pakistan. PRP is prepared from a child's own blood and contains natural growth factors that may help wounds to heal faster. The study compares healing rates, reduction in wound size, and time to complete wound healing between the platelet-rich plasma and saline dressing groups.
