Pain Assessment in Patients Undergoing Maggot Debridement Therapy in the Process of Local Treatment of Chronic Wounds. J Clin Med 2024; 13:884. [PMID: 38337579 PMCID: PMC10856309 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13030884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Developing and implementing strategies for local wound care focused on improving the quality of life related to health status and reducing treatment costs for this patient group poses a challenge to contemporary healthcare systems. The utilization of Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT) is one potential form of local therapy for preparing wounds for the healing process. The debridement of the wound bed with medical maggots is highly precise, and the defensins produced by the larvae eliminate bacteria and stimulate tissue regeneration. However, the presence of larvae in the wound may lead to the occurrence of pain symptoms. The aim of the study was to assess the intensity of pain during larval therapy in patients with chronic wounds treated in outpatient settings. (2) Patients and Methods: The study employed a diagnostic survey and estimation; the tool consisted of a research protocol comprising three parts (questionnaires). Inclusion criteria for the study were voluntary consent to participate (completion of the MDT acceptance questionnaire), chronic wounds of vascular etiology or pressure injuries, full-thickness skin or deep tissue damage, and pain intensity not exceeding four on the NRS (Numerical Rating Scale: 0-no pain, 10-the most severe pain) at the time of the study. Patient observation during the 3-day treatment was conducted by a wound care clinic nurse, assessing pain intensity once every 24 h during the larval dressing changes. (3) Results: Out of 348 individuals who qualified for MDT during the study period, 215 individuals participated in the study: 94 women (43.7%) and 121 men (56.3%). The age of the participants ranged from 28 to 97 years (mean 69.87 ± 12.95). Each participant experienced mild pain (2.26 ± 1.60 on the NRS) on the day of qualification for the study. An increase in pain intensity, according to subjective assessments, was reported by 29.3% of participants (n = 63). On the third day of MDT therapy, an increase in pain intensity was observed, reaching a mean value of 4.79 ± 2.12 (p < 0.0001). Participants with pressure injuries showed the lowest pain intensity, which increased in consecutive days for all types of wounds. Additionally, the increase in pain intensity in patients with vascular etiology wounds was greater compared to patients with pressure injuries (p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: Local wound therapy with Lucilia sericata larvae increases pain intensity in the consecutive days of treatment. The wound area and the time since its occurrence may determine pain symptoms.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 11 million people suffer from burns every year, and 180,000 die from them. A burn is a condition in which heat, chemical substances, an electrical current or other factors cause tissue damage. Burns mainly affect the skin, but can also affect deeper tissues such as bones or muscles. When burned, the skin loses its main functions, such as protection from the external environment, pathogens, evaporation and heat loss. Depending on the stage of the burn, the patient's condition and the cause of the burn, we need to choose the most appropriate treatment. Personalization and multidisciplinary collaboration are key to the successful management of burn patients. In this comprehensive review, we have collected and discussed the available treatment options, focusing on recent advances in topical treatments, wound cleansing, dressings, skin grafting, nutrition, pain and scar tissue management.

Abstract
Patient-centered care (PCC) is recognized as a standard in healthcare for determining high quality. Honoring patients' values, experiences, needs, and preferences in devising, coordinating, and delivering care underscores the enhancement of the therapeutic rapport between patients and healthcare providers. Wound treatment involves a multi-stage process encompassing diagnostics and local wound dressing, which reduces the risk of infection through a coordinated interdisciplinary team. Within this team, nurses undertake specific professional functions and roles. The implementation of local therapy using innovative and scientifically substantiated methods may be hindered by a deficit of knowledge or inappropriate knowledge among staff and patients themselves. This study presents the challenges concerning the care of patients with chronic wounds treated using Lucilia sericata larvae, based on a review of the current scientific literature. A critical analysis of the literature spanning from 2002 to 2022 was conducted using the Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, and Termedia databases, employing keywords such as "maggot debridement therapy" in relation to acceptance and perception. As a result of the preliminary selection, 472 papers were identified, of which 12 publications were included in the development of this concept. The acquired data were organized and presented in the concluding section in the form of tables, accompanied by descriptions and references to individual studies. Negative psychological and somatic sensations were among the most prominent challenges among patients treated with Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT). Pain related to peripheral ischemia or infection in this group of patients requires pain prophylaxis, including hyperalgesia and allodynia, in order to improve method tolerance. On the other hand, augmenting patients' understanding of MDT diminishes negative emotions, reinforces positive behaviors, and mitigates anxiety levels. MDT constitutes an effective and safe method. Its widespread use for chronic wounds requires substantial knowledge among healthcare professionals and patient education, along with that of their caregivers, to develop a positive attitude.

Abstract
Introduction and importance Management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), one of the complications of diabetes mellitus, can lead to death and amputation, and it is one of the most critical challenges for the patients and their families. Case presentation The present case report concerns a 72-year-old man with a 5-year history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient had antibiotic-resistant DFUs on two phalanges of his left foot, which were completely gangrenous, and a superficial ulcer of 1 × 1 cm under his left foot. Despite the routine DFU care, the phalanges of his DFU were amputated. The patient was moved to our wound management team. DFU was treated and managed using surgical debridement and maggot debridement therapy. Ten sessions of Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT) were conducted (one therapy session every 48 h). After three months, the patient's DFUs healed, and he was discharged from our service in good condition. Clinical discussion DFU can lead to infection, amputation, and even patient death. Therefore, effective treatment methods are very important for managing DFUs. Conclusion Using surgical debridement and MDT is a safe and effective approach to facilitate the healing of DFUs. Management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is one of the most critical challenges for the patients. Diabetic foot ulcers do not respond to standard drug therapies. Surgical debridement and Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT) can manage diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the skin, Lucilia sericata maggot excretions/secretions (ES) accelerate wound healing and limit inflammation. This study aimed to determine whether ES have similar beneficial effects at the ocular surface. METHODS Human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) were cultured with ES and cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. Additionally, mRNA expression of growth factors, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and cytokines was assessed by qPCR. ES ability to modulate TLR-induced IL-6 and IL-8 expression was determined by qPCR and ELISA. ES potential to promote corneal healing was evaluated in vitro by a migration assay in HCEC, and in vivo using a mouse model. RESULTS ES did not impair HCEC viability up to 25 μg/ml. Among the factors evaluated, only hBD-2 was upregulated (2.5-fold) by 1.5 μg/ml ES after 6 hrs (P = 0.04). In HCEC, ES reduced Poly I:C-induced IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA (P ≤ 0.001) and protein (P ≤ 0.0001) expression. A similar effect was observed with Flagellin (TLR5 agonist) but it was less robust for FSL-1 (TLR2/6 agonist) and Pam3CSK4 (TLR1/2 agonist). The greatest in vitro migration effect was observed with 6.2 μg/ml ES after 44 hrs where gap area compared to vehicle was 53.3 ± 3.7% vs. 72.6 ± 5.4% (P = 0.001). In the mouse model, the maximum healing effect was present with 1.5 μg/ml ES after 12 hrs with a wound area of 19.0 ± 2.7% vs. 60.1 ± 21.6% (P = 0.003) or 77% reduction of the wound area compared to the negative control. CONCLUSIONS ES significantly reduce in vitro TLR-induced production of inflammatory cytokines and promote corneal wound healing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the major diabetes complications that may lead to limb amputation. Amputation can have profound physical and psychological effects on an individual's life. Nowadays, the prevention of limb amputation and treatment of DFUs are known as the major health challenges. CASE PRESENTATION The present case report is of a 72-year-old woman with a 20-year history of type 2 diabetes who has had asymmetrical and superficial DFUs with sizes of 6 × 5 cm and 3 × 3 cm on the heel and the sole of the right foot, respectively. The ulcers were infected by S. aureus and E. coli. The patient had been hospitalized several times for receiving treatment, and not only the ulcers had not been healed, but also they had considerably extended so that the risk of foot amputation had been greatly increased. The patient was transferred to our wound care service. After conducting one session of surgical debridement, the patient underwent ten sessions of maggot therapy (one session every two days) using sterile Lucilia sericata. After about six months, the patient's DFUs were completely healed. CLINICAL DISCUSSION DFU can affect a patient's quality of life and lead to infection, sepsis, amputation, and even patient death. Therefore, using effective treatment approaches is very important for the management of DFUs. CONCLUSION The combined use of surgical debridement and maggot therapy is a safe and effective method for improving diabetic foot ulcers and preventing amputation.

Abstract
High concentrations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Y12 significantly inhibit the development of housefly larvae and accelerate larvae death. In this study, the dynamic distribution of the gut microbiota of housefly larvae fed different concentrations of P. aeruginosa Y12 was investigated. Compared with low-concentration P. aeruginosa diets, orally administered high-concentration P. aeruginosa diets caused higher mortality and had a greater impact on the community structure and interaction network of intestinal flora in housefly larvae. The bacterial community of the gut microbiota in housefly larvae was reconstructed in 4 days. Bacterial abundance and diversity were significantly reduced in housefly larvae fed high concentrations of P. aeruginosa. With the growth of larvae, the relative abundances of Providencia, Proteus, Myroides, Klebsiella, and Alcaligenes increased significantly in housefly larvae fed with high concentrations of P. aeruginosa, while the relative abundances of Bordetella, Enterobacter, Morganella, Ochrobactrum, Alcaligenaceae, and Empedobacter were significantly reduced. To analyze the role of the gut microorganisms played on housefly development, a total of 10 cultivable bacterial species belonging to 9 genera were isolated from the intestine of housefly larvae among which Enterobacter hormaechei, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Lysinibacillus fusiformis, and Bacillus safensis promoted the growth of larvae through feeding experiments. This study is the first to analyze the influence of high concentrations of P. aeruginosa on the gut microbiota of houseflies. Our study provides a basis for exploring the pathogenic mechanism of high concentrations of P. aeruginosa Y12 in houseflies.
