ABSTRACT

One of the complications seen in bedridden neurologically ill patients is pressure ulcers commonly known as pressure sores. Management of these ulcers is often challenging. But even after many wound therapies there is no well-established method that accelerates the wound healing rate. Prolotherapy entails injecting a local irritant into a wound with the purported aim of expediting healing. This article examines the significance of prolotherapy in preparing the wound bed for further skin cover procedures.
