    Area of Science:

    • Wound healing research
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Geriatric care

    Background:

    • Ischemic ulcers stem from physical, nutritional, infectious, circulatory, metabolic, and neurologic factors.
    • Ulcer prevention is paramount in patient management.
    • Conventional treatments exist for ischemic ulcers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate low-intensity direct electric current (LIDC) as an adjunct therapy for ischemic ulcers in nursing home residents.
    • To assess the efficacy of LIDC in managing established ischemic ulcers.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized low-intensity direct electric current (LIDC) alongside conventional management strategies.
    • Focused on patients in nursing home settings with existing ischemic ulcers.

    Main Results:

    • LIDC demonstrated a more rapid control of infection in ischemic ulcers.
    • Wound size reduction was accelerated with the addition of LIDC.
    • Patients generally accepted the LIDC treatment well.

    Conclusions:

    • Low-intensity direct electric current (LIDC) is a beneficial adjunct therapy for ischemic ulcers.
    • LIDC improves infection control and wound healing rates in nursing home patients.
    • The patient acceptance of LIDC suggests its practical applicability in clinical settings.
