Abstract
to evaluate the effect of Gallium Arsenide laser versus pulsed electromagnetic
field on healing of pressure ulcers. Methods of evaluation: - (Measurement of the ulcer
surface area (USA), ulcer volume measurement (UVM) and the colony count (CC)).
Methods: -40 diabetic patients with pressure ulcers grade II, their ages ranged from 40
– 60 years, were divided randomly into two equal groups in number. group (A) Gallium
arsenide (Ga-As) laser group: This group was consisted of 20 patients who received
the Gallium arsenide (Ga-As) laser therapy 3 times per week for 2 months in addition to
the routine conventional treatment (dressing – manage bacterial contamination – relieve
pressure, friction, and shear – remove necrotic debris – correct nutritional deficits).
group (B) PEMFT group: 20 patients who received the Pulsed electromagnetic field
therapy (PEMFT) 3 times per week for 2 months in addition to the routine conventional
treatment (dressing – manage bacterial contamination – relieve pressure, friction, and
shear – remove necrotic debris – correct nutritional deficits). Results: - Results showed
that both the Ga-As laser and the PEMFT, were significantly effective in improving
healing of pressure ulcers as manifested by the highly decreased USA, UVM and CC in
both groups. Conclusion: - both were nearly equivalent and significantly effective in
improving healing of pressure ulcers as manifested by the highly decreased USA, UVM
and CC in both groups.
