Abstract: (3898 Views)
The effect of electrical currents by different modalities on wound healing has
been experimented. In this study a survey of the literature shows different results,
and the mechanisms of action have not been elucidated for certain. The aim of this
study was to compare the results obtained from low voltage-square wave stimulation
of different frequencies. Results show that the healing period for the control
group (14.9 ± 0.58 days) was reduced to 11.28 ± 0.52 and 10.37 ± 0.7 days for
groups receiving 20 and 80 Hz stimulation respectively. This implies that wound
closure as an index of wound healing was significantly increased in animals
receiving 80 Hz stimulation. Tensile strength was increased from 2013 ± 192
grams in controls to 2589 ± 235.1 grams in the 80 Hz-receiving study group. We
concluded that electrical stimulation can affect the process of healing and a
stimulation of 80Hz is more effective than other frequencies.
