Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of high-voltage pulsed current (HVPC) and microcurrent stimulation therapy (MST) in treating chronic wounds and to compare their effects.

Detailed description

Sixty patients with chronic wounds (pressure ulcers) and their ages will be ranged from 45 to 60 years old. They will be recruited from the outpatient clinic at Kasr Al-Aini Hospitals and they will be randomly assigned into two groups of equal numbers, each one will contain thirty patients. High-voltage pulsed current group and microcurrent stimulation therapy groups. The change in wound surface area and wound volume will be measured before the intervention and after six weeks of intervention.

Conditions

• Wound
• Ulcer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	High voltage pulsed current	The treatment session duration is 45 minutes (Reverse the polarity after the first 22 minutes)
OTHER	Microcurrent therapy	The treatment session duration is 40 minutes.
