  • Title: High voltage electrical stimulation as an alternative treatment for chronic ulcers of the lower limbs.
    Author: Silva Ede F, Martins CC, Guirro EC, Guirro RR.
    Journal: An Bras Dermatol; 2010; 85(4):567-9. PubMed ID: 20944924.
    Abstract:
    High voltage electrical stimulation has been recommended as a means of accelerating the wound healing process. The effects of high voltage electrical stimulation were evaluated in the treatment of three volunteers with chronic ulcers of the lower limbs. After fifteen weeks of treatment, a reduction was found in the area of all the ulcers, suggesting that high voltage electric stimulation is an effective therapeutic option for chronic ulcers.
