[High voltage stimulation for enhanced healing of venous ulcers].
Venous ulcers are significant both surgical and dermatological problem. This article discusses research findings and the clinical use of high voltage stimulation (HVS) in ulceration repair. Practical treatment decisions involving types of electrical impulses, polarity, electrode placement and other parameters are discussed. The article also summarizes recent knowledge on characteristics and biological effects of HVS application.
