PY - 2010 T2 - Wound Healing Evidence-Based Management, 4e 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.
