Abstract

Wound is a common problem following burn, trauma or infection. There are various methods to limit the infection and to cover the raw area. But there is no well-established method that accelerates the wound healing rate. Prolotherapy is a technique that involves injecting some irritant locally in the wound that is claimed to hasten the healing. This article highlights the role of prolotherapy in wound bed preparation.

Keywords: Prolotherapy; Wound; Management.
