متن کاملComparison of high-frequency and MIST ultrasound therapy for the healing of venous leg ulcers.
BACKGROUND Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are a health problem in clinical care. Several options can be employed as adjuvant to standard treatment. OBJECTIVES We have aimed to analyze the effect of standard ulcer care alone with high-frequency ultrasound (HFU) and MIST ultrasound therapy on VLUs.

متن کاملA systematic review of compression therapy for venous leg ulcers.
The aim of the study was to determine the relative effectiveness of compression therapies used in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) were sought using a search strategy that aimed to identify relevant RCT by searching eight electronic databases (including Medline, Embase and CINHAL), conference proceedings and hand searching key journals. In addition, citatio...
