Objective: To map and summarize scientific evidence on autologous blood clot therapy in wound healing. Method: This is a five-stage scope review, carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases/search engines, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and in the Theses and Dissertations Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). The controlled descriptors were “healing” and “wounds and injuries” and the uncontrolled Autologous Blood Clot Therapy”, with its derivations in English and Spanish. Articles in the last 10 years were included, and duplicate articles or articles that were not available in full were excluded. For the extraction, a synoptic table was built and the data were analyzed descriptively. Results: 246 publications were identified and the final sample consisted of 16 publications. The year 2022 was the one with the highest number of publications (5;33.4%), 15 (93.7%) studies were in English and 12 (75.0%) in US journals. No studies were located in Brazil on the subject. It was found that 11 (68.7%) studies evaluated the effect of therapy, of which 6 (37.5%) had a quasi-experimental design, three (18.7%) were case studies and two (12.5%) were %) case series study. Conclusions: The article achieved its objectives by mapping the scientific evidence on the subject, demonstrating that the therapy has good effectiveness in the treatment of pressure injuries. However, there are limitations due to the lack of research with methods with a higher level of evidence and with larger samples.
