Comparison of the efficacy of topical hyperbaric oxygen therapy alone vs a combination of physical methods including topical hyperbaric oxygen therapy, magnetotherapy, and low‐energy light therapy in the treatment of venous leg ulcers

Dermatologic Therapy Nov 12, 2020

Pasek J, Szajkowski S, Pietrzak M, et al. - In this study, the therapeutic efficacy of topical hyperbaric oxygen therapy alone vs a combination of physical methods including topical hyperbaric oxygen therapy, magnetotherapy, and low‐energy light therapy was compared in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Researchers treated 36 individuals with topical oxygen hyperbaria and 29 were treated with a combination of physical methods. They conducted the assessment of ulcer surface area with the use of a planimetric method, pain intensity with the use of the Laitinen scale, and quality of life by means of EuroQol scale. This study’s findings demonstrate that topical hyperbaric oxygen therapy alone and a combination of physical methods cause significant reduction of ulcer surface area, reduction of pain intensity, as well as improvement of the quality of life, but a combination of physical methods is more effective.
