Effect of compression bandaging on wound healing and psychosocial outcomes in older people with venous ulcers: a randomised controlled trial.

چکیده
Compression bandaging achieved a higher proportion of complete ulcer healing, reduced ulcer size, and improved psychosocial outcomes in venous ulcer patients. The four-layer bandaging and short-stretch bandaging systems achieved a similar effect on both ulcer healing and other psychosocial outcome measures.
