Chapman, B. et al. 2011. Use of an arginine-enriched oral nutrition supplement in the healing of pressure ulcers in patients with spinal cord injuries: An observational study
This pilot study demonstrates the potential for a specialised wound healing nutritional supplement to accelerate the rate of pressure ulcer healing in spinal cord injury patients. A 2.5-fold greater rate of healing was observed in patients consuming the arginine-containing nutritional supplement until full healing compared with those who ceased taking the supplement.
