摘要

The benefit of using electric stimulation therapy (EST) to heal venous leg ulcers (VLUs) is not well established. The main aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of ulcer EST in VLU healing.A systematic search of the literature was conducted using the databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science and included original studies that reported VLU healing after EST. The inclusion criteria were at least two surface electrodes placed on or near the wound or a planar probe covering the ulcer area to be treated. The Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized control trials (RCTs) and Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for case series were used to evaluate the risk of bias.This review included eight RCTs and three case series involving a total of 724 limbs in 716 patients with VLUs. The mean patient age was 64.2 years (95% confidence interval, 62.3-66.2), and 46.2% (95% confidence interval, 41.2%-50.4%) were men. The active electrode was placed on the wound with the passive electrode placed on healthy skin (n = 6), the two electrodes were placed on either side of the wound edges (n = 4), or a planar probe was used (n = 1). The pulsed current was the most used waveform (n = 9). The change in the ulcer size was the main method used to determine ulcer healing (n = 8), followed by the ulcer healing rate (n = 6), exudate levels (n = 4), and the time to healing (n = 3). Five RCTs detected a statistically significant improvement in at least one VLU healing outcome, after EST compared with the control group. In two of these, EST was better than the control but only for patients who had not undergone surgical treatment of VLU.The findings from the present systematic review support the use of EST to accelerate wound healing of VLUs, especially for patients who are not surgical candidates. However, the significant variation in electric stimulation protocols represents an important limitation to its use and should be addressed in future studies.
