Resum

ABSTRACT Chronic wounds are a significant health problem. Electrical stimulation seems to produce a significantly greater reduction in surface area and more complete healing of difficult-to-heal and poorly healing ulcers compared to standard therapy without compressive bandaging. Objectives: To evaluate the effect that radiofrequency at low intensity and with non-thermal effects has on the different components of the mechanism of the healing process. Methodology: A tecartherapy device (CAPENERGY C200) was used for the treatment. A total of 10 radiofrequency sessions were applied once a week with a power of 60% and a frequency of 1.2 MHz for 30 minutes. Results: The presence of oedema, observed in all patients in the lower extremity region, disappeared in 30 of the 36 patients (Wilcoxon p = 0.004). This result was confirmed by ultrasound. The mean subcutaneous cellular oedema decreased by 1.73 cm (Friedman p = 0.000). The temperature of the area taken before and after treatment increased by an average of °C. These differences are statistically significant (Wilcoxon p = 0.000). Conclusions: Radiofrequency appears to be able to reduce the long healing process of torpidly evolving lesions, and we found significant differences throughout the treatment and a progressive reduction in lesion measurements and faster healing of complex wounds.
