TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES Electrical Stimulation Technologies for Wound Healing
Objective: To discuss the physiological bases for using exogenously applied electric field (EF) energy to enhance wound healing with conductive electrical stimulation (ES) devices. Approach: To describe the types of electrical currents that have been reported to enhance chronic wound-healing rate and closure. Results: Commercial ES devices that generate direct current (DC), and mono and biphasi...
متن کاملElectrical Stimulation And Wound Healing References
Evidence is reviewed (8 studies involving 215 clinical patients with ischemic skin ulcers and 7 animal tissue or tissue culture studies) that electrical stimulation of fibroblast cells accelerates the intracellular biosynthesis necessary to form new granulation tissue in a healing wound, and that both a direct local tissue effect and a circulatory improvement occur. A model is presented in whic...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation to accelerate wound healing
BACKGROUND There are several applications of electrical stimulation described in medical literature to accelerate wound healing and improve cutaneous perfusion. This is a simple technique that could be incorporated as an adjunctive therapy in plastic surgery. The objective of this review was to evaluate the results of randomized clinical trials that use electrical stimulation for wound healing....
متن کاملLOW VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL STIMULATION AND WOUND HEALING IN RABBITS: EFFECT OF ALTERING FREQUENCY
The effect of electrical currents by different modalities on wound healing has been experimented. In this study a survey of the literature shows different results, and the mechanisms of action have not been elucidated for certain. The aim of this study was to compare the results obtained from low voltage-square wave stimulation of different frequencies. Results show that the healing period ...
متن کاملPrognostic factors, prediction of chronic wound healing and electrical stimulation
The aim of the study was to determine the effects of wound, patient and treatment attributes on wound healing rate and to propose a system for wound healing rate prediction. Predicting the wound healing rate from initial wound, patient and treatment data collected in our database of 300 chronic wounds was not possible. After considering weekly follow-ups, we determined that the best prognostic ...
