Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Non-powered Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) on the healing of abdominal surgical wounds. It is designed as a randomized controlled trial with an experimental group (using NPWT) and a control group (conventional wound care). The study aims to recruit 160 participants: 80 with acute wounds and 80 with chronic wounds. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (40 acute wounds, 40 chronic wounds) or the control group (40 acute wounds, 40 chronic wounds). The study will assess wound healing rates and speed, quality of life, self-perceived health status, pain levels, complications, and wound care costs using indicators. Effectiveness will be analyzed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE). The study anticipates that results will contribute to evaluating the effects of Non-powered NPWT on wound healing, quality of life, pain, and cost-effectiveness in patients with acute and chronic wounds.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NPWT

The NPWT group (experimental group) will include 80 participants. Wounds will be cleansed with sterile normal saline, followed by wound assessment and documentation. The Anscare SIMO Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System, a non-powered NPWT dressing, will then be applied.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

NPWT

Intervention Type OTHER

The NPWT group will also include 80 participants. Wounds will be cleansed with sterile normal saline and coverd the SIMO NPWT dressing. Participants will undergo regular postoperative follow-ups to assess wound healing progression and secondary outcome measures.

standard care group

Thestandard care group will include 80 participants. Wounds will be cleansed with sterile normal saline and receive routine wound care, followed by wound assessment and documentation.

Group Type OTHER

standard care group

Intervention Type OTHER

The standard care (SC) group will also include 80 participants. Wounds will be cleansed with sterile normal saline and managed using conventional wound care techniques. Participants will undergo regular postoperative follow-ups to assess wound healing progression and secondary outcome measures.
