Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Long-Term Wounds
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special electrical stimulation treatment (FREMS therapy) to help heal chronic wounds that haven't healed after 3 months. The therapy involves gentle electrical pulses applied to the wound area during clinic visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
