AB Since  the  mid-1960s,  considerable  research  has  been  directed  at  evaluating  the  effects  of  exogenous  electrical  currents  on  healing  of  chronic  wounds,  which,  unlike  acute  wounds,  do  not  heal  spontaneously  within  a  predictable  time  frame  and  are  frequently  unresponsive  to  many  standard  treatment  interventions.  Currently,  treatments  available  to  patients  with  chronic  wounds  are  mostly  influenced  by  federal  and  regional  insurance  authorities  who  more  and  more  base  reimbursement  decisions  on  treatment  effectiveness,  which  they  in  turn  establish  by  determining  the  strength  of  evidence  derived  from  basic  science  and  clinical  research  trials.
