To determine if UlcerCare, a specialised self-securing static magnetic device, can promote the healing of chronic leg ulcers.
This double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study involved 26 patients with chronic leg ulcers, receiving care consistent with RCN guidelines, who were randomly allocated to receive either UlcerCare leg wrap (treatment) or an identical sham non-magnetic device (control). Wounds were assessed for 12 weeks at four weekly intervals using digital photography, Verge Videometer analysis and patient questionnaires to determine changes in ulcer size, level of pain and function.
Statistically significant reductions in ulcer measurement were noted in the treatment group when compared with the placebo group.
The results demonstrate a significant healing effect in the treatment group. A larger randomised controlled study is recommended to investigate the effects on ulcer-associated pain and quality of life.
确定一种专门的自固定静态磁疗设备UlcerCare是否能促进慢性腿部溃疡的愈合。
这项双盲安慰剂对照试验性研究纳入了26例慢性腿部溃疡患者，他们接受符合英国皇家护理学院指南的护理，并被随机分配接受UlcerCare腿部包裹治疗（治疗组）或相同的无磁性假装置（对照组）。通过数码摄影、Verge Videometer分析和患者问卷，每四周对伤口进行12周的评估，以确定溃疡大小、疼痛程度和功能的变化。
与安慰剂组相比，治疗组的溃疡测量值有统计学意义的降低。
结果表明治疗组有显著的愈合效果。建议进行更大规模的随机对照研究，以调查对溃疡相关疼痛和生活质量的影响。
