Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants over 18 years. Both sexes. With pressure injury stages 2 or 3. Length of stay 15 days.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Participants with active neoplasms or palliative care; osteomyelitis in the wound region or with stage 1 or 4 pressure injuries. Deep tissue injury; unclassifiable lesions; complex wounds, necrotic; infected will be excluded. Patients with a history of photosensitivity to photonic therapy or who have significant neurological or psychiatric disorders will also be excluded from the study as it compromises assessments of uncoupling or pain during photobiomodulation
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess pressure injury using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT). It is expected to find a decrease in the scale score due to the proposed treatment with significance between the control group and the others by at least 5%. Lower scores indicate better healing rate | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Area and volume of injury will be assessed by digital photographs and specific software;Lesion temperature, with infrared digital thermometer, which does not require direct contact with the lesion;The lesion pH , using reagent strips;Hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein by blood tests;Nutritional Risk Screening, used to track cases of hospital malnutrition. The evaluations of this instrument will be performed by the institution's nutritionists.;Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System-28 (TISS-28), an instrument that classifies the severity of patients, allowing the prediction of specific nursing care and resources. | — |
