Background: The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between different factors such as age, sex, antibiotic consumption duration, angiogenesis and pain and “acceleration of wound healing” in pilonidal sinus patients after treating with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Methods: In this clinical trial, 110 patients were randomly divided into treatment arm and control group. After surgery, control group underwent classic wound dressing and the treatment arm experienced PRP gel therapy. Before achieving complete healing, wound incisional biopsy was performed in order to evaluate angiogenesis. During the study, other data such as pain and antibiotic consumption duration were also collected. Wound healing time of pilonidal sinus disease was analyzed using Extended and Stratify Cox model. Data were analyzed using R and STATA software. p
