The three-month KPS score (t=2.652, P=0.037) and ADL score (t=2.064, P=0.047) were significantly different. The life satisfaction table (SWLS) was very satisfactory (χ2=5.233, P=0.032), the difference was significant. The cure rate of pressure ulcers in one group of patients after one month (χ2=11.393, P=0.001), significant efficiency (χ2=5.492, P=0.027), total effective rate (χ2=11.644, P= 0.001), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment of pressure sore with saprophytic muscle cream, the therapeutic effect was significantly different from that of the control group.
