| Main Objective: To verify the effectiveness of topical treatment with platelet-rich plasma in the healing of chronic lower limb venous ulcers.;Secondary Objective: - Localized pain in the ulcer decreases - Improvement in the physical affection as a result of the disease. - Improvement in the mental affectation as a result of the disease. - Adverse side effects incidence.;Primary end point(s): Ulcer area: Weekly photographs will be taken with centimetric reference. Subsequently, the area will be calculated by a computer program (Acrobat®) by a blind investigator who does not know which group belongs to the ulcer;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From day 0 (start of the trial) to week 52. | — |

Information about all AAs, whether they are voluntarily communicated by the patient, discovered by the investigator or detected on the physical examination will be recorded in an open general questionnaire.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From day 0 (start of the trial) to week 52 | — |
