Powering the progression of hard-to-heal wounds with electrical stimulation: observational analysis of wounds treated with Accel-Heal

Electrical stimulation therapy (EST) is known to accelerate healing and reduce the pain associated with chronic wounds. Widespread adoption of the therapy has been slow, thought to be due to the practical challenges associated with using the technology.

Findings support the wider literature, that EST can reduce wound pain and kick-starts the healing process, even in the very challenging wounds chosen for this evaluation.
