Dressing Methods in Inoperable Malignant Wounds
Sponsor: Sakarya University
Summary
This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate symptom burden and quality of life in oncology patients with inoperable malignant wounds. Patients were assigned to receive either polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)-containing dressings or paraffin-based tulle dressings. Symptom severity and quality of life were assessed over a three-month follow-up period using standardized measures, including the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS). The study primarily focuses on palliative outcomes rather than wound healing.
