Evaluation of Chronic Wound Pain: Results of A Study of 274 Consecutively Observed Patients at Our Wound Care Center

Pain is frequently found in patients with hard-to-heal or non-healing wounds [1,2]. Analysis of epidemiologic data derived from a group of patients who presented at our wound care center during a 15-month period points out that 46.3% of patients showed complete healing of the lesion within 12 weeks since the start of the therapy, 42.1% healed in 4 to 12 months, while 11.6% of them needed more than 18 months to heal or still had not healed after 18 months.
