Summary

This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of topical Bee Venom gel versus phonophoresis of Bee Venom gel to accelerate healing of chronic pressure ulcer

Detailed description

In this study, the Bee Venom gel was prepared in a gel formula. Patients with chronic pressure ulcers were enrolled randomly into two different groups. Group 1 received a topical application of Bee Venom gel, 3 times per weeks. While group 2 received phonophoresis of Bee Venom gel using low frequency ultrasound, 3 times per week. The treatment lasted for 8 consecutive weeks. The Image J Software is used to measure the wound surface area before and after treatment.

Conditions

• Bee Venom
• Pressure Ulcers
• Phonophoresis
