Chronic cutaneous wounds may cause considerable pain, often affecting patient compliance with necessary treatment protocols.
Two patients are presented who were unable to comply with compression therapy because of severe wound pain.
Adjunctive pulsed radio frequency energy was administered for 30 minutes twice daily through an applicator pad placed directly on the dressing over the wound area.
Both patients reported immediate, marked pain reduction, allowing compression therapy. The ulcers healed completely within 3 weeks for patient 1 and 28 weeks for patient 2.
Further investigation into the efficacy of pulsed radio frequency energy for the treatment of painful wounds is warranted.
慢性皮肤创伤可能会导致严重的疼痛，这通常会影响患者对必要治疗方案的配合。
介绍了两名因严重伤口疼痛而无法配合压迫疗法的患者。
通过直接放置在伤口区域敷料上的敷贴器，每天两次给予辅助脉冲射频能量 30 分钟。
两名患者均报告说疼痛立即明显减轻，从而可以进行压迫疗法。患者 1 的溃疡在 3 周内完全愈合，患者 2 的溃疡则在 28 周内完全愈合。
有必要进一步研究脉冲射频能量治疗疼痛性伤口的疗效。
