Ultrasound therapy heals chronic wounds

Experimental ultrasound treatment can accelerate the healing of chronic wounds, which close for months or even years. Animal experiments, published in Research in Dermatologists Research (JID), have shown that the method reduces treatment time by a third. Scientists from the University of Sheffield and Bristol in the UK tested the technique on mice, finding high frequency ultrasonic waves, causing rattles in and around the wounds. This process is activated

Experimental ultrasound treatment can accelerate the healing of chronic wounds, which close for months or even years.

Animal experiments, published in Research in Dermatologists Research (JID), have shown that the method reduces treatment time by a third.

Scientists from the University of Sheffield and Bristol in the UK tested the technique on mice, finding high frequency ultrasonic waves, causing rattles in and around the wounds.

This process activated the cells, causing them to heal.

For example, in older mice and diabetic mice, ultrasound treatment reduced the healing time from nine to six days.

The ultrasound method accelerates healing by waking up dysfunctional physical devices that are as important as the idea. "

Wounds are characterized as chronic when they do not heal normally or during the expected time (usually within 3 months).

Sometimes they work for months or even years to heal or never heal, causing severe mental and physical stress for the sick.

Factors contributing to their appearance are poor blood circulation, neuropathy, movement difficulties, systemic diseases, old age and occasional injuries.

Typical examples of chronic wounds are sprains (caused by rest, in the same position for an extended period of time) and diabetic foot ulcers (called diabetic feet, due to peripheral neuropathy and angiopathy).

Chronic wounds occur more frequently at age 60, with a population frequency of 7.8 cases per 1,000 inhabitants.
