Abstract

BackgroundBedsores, also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, are a common and challenging complication in spinal patients. The combined treatment approach, integrating both clinical interventions and experimental modalities, has gained attention for its potential in improving outcomes in the management of bedsores.
Objective:This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined treatment approach for bedsores in spinal patients through a comprehensive clinical and experimental investigation.
Methods: A mixed-methods study design was employed, involving both clinical observations and interventional. The clinical aspect involved a retrospective analysis of spinal patients with bedsores who received a combined treatment approach. The experimental arm included an animal model to assess the efficacy of novel therapeutic strategies. Key outcomes measured included wound healing rates, pain reduction, infection control, and quality of life indicators. 
ResultsThe combined treatment approach demonstrated promising results in the management of bedsores in spinal patients. Clinical observations revealed improved wound healing rates, reduced pain levels, decreased incidence of infection, and enhanced quality of life in patients receiving the combined treatment. The experimental component provided further insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Experimental interventions targeting wound microenvironment, tissue regeneration, and infection control showed promising results in the animal model.
ConclusionsThe combined treatment approach, integrating clinical interventions and experimental modalities, holds great promise for the effective management of bedsores in spinal patients. This approach facilitates improved wound healing, pain reduction, infection control, and enhanced quality of life. Further research and clinical trials are warranted to validate and optimize the combined treatment strategy in this patient population.
