Verbal and written informed consent taken. Swabs from infected wounds taken to isolate causative microorganisms before and after Fenugreek dressing. Discussion: Fenugreek is used locally in Sudan in treating many different diseases.Many studies reported the efficacy of using fenugreek in wound healing acceleration in experimental animals. In this study there is good response to fenugreek dressing in terms of pain relief, subsidence of edema, clearance of infection, wound contraction and wound healing promotion.
