Clara Masó, PhD candidate and member of the TR2Lab, presented a poster communication at VIII Workshop on Wound Healing, Vic June 7th, 2024.

The title of the poster was “Autologous skin micrografts as a therapeutic tool of pain control in patients with non-revascularizable arterial ulcers. Case study”(1). She presented 4 clinical cases with a diagnosis of peripheral arteriopathy without the possibility of revascularization. Faced with this situation, it was decided to use autologous skin micrografts (ASM) therapy with the main objective of improving pain control. In those clinical cases, the use of ASM has improved pain management, reducing the secondary effects caused by the prolonged and exponential use of opioid analgesics and promote wound healing. ASM therapy is a possible therapeutic tool for pain control and to accelerate the healing of hard-to-heal wounds. However, further studies with a larger number of patients are needed.
