Insulin Topical Application for Wound Healing in Nondiabetic Patients

Background. Low-cost and safe strategies to improve wound healing will be of great social and economic value. The goal of this pilot clinical trial is aimed at analyzing how effective insulin therapy is at healing wounds in nondiabetic people. Methods. In this protocol research, 346 individuals were...

In this protocol research, 346 individuals were included. Patients were divided as 2 groups at random: experimental patients were given a ten-unit answer.
