About this study

Primary Objective

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of the treatment using the following scores and clinical parameters:

Pain intensity, measured using the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), consisting of a 10 cm line, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates intense pain.

Size of each ulcer.

Secondary Objectives

Evaluation of the following scores and clinical parameters:

  • Registration of the superficial temperature of the mucous membranes using Infrared Thermography.
  • Ulcer Severity Score (USS).

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain intensity

    Time frame: 14 days

    Pain intensity, measured using the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), consisting of a 10 cm line, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates intense pain.

  2. Ulcers Dimensions

    Time frame: 14 days

    Size of each ulcer measured through a sheet of clear plastic will be applied directly to the ulcer by tracing the circumference of the ulcer and then placed on a graph paper and the number of mm2 units included within the drawn area will be counted.
