Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a severe complication of diabetes, resulting in delayed wound healing due to impaired blood flow. While electrical stimulation is promising in wound management, the efficacy of Russian current in this domain remains unexplored. This case report assesses the effectiveness of the Russian current in managing DFUs.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 69-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a chronic foot ulcer on the posterior aspect of the right lower leg, just above the heel, underwent a 6-week intervention using Russian current therapy. The patient received Russian current stimulation, thrice weekly for 6 weeks (total 18 sessions), using parameters: 2500 Hz carrier frequency, 50 Hz modulated frequency, 200 millisecond phase duration, with 10-second "on" and 50-second "off" cycles for 20 minutes. Routine wound care was maintained. The ulcer was assessed pre- and post-intervention using the ImitoMeasure app and Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT).
RESULT: Post-treatment, a significant reduction in wound dimensions and BWAT score was observed. The patient tolerated the therapy well, with no adverse events.
CONCLUSION: Russian current stimulation showed positive effects on wound healing parameters in this DFU case, warranting further investigation in larger cohorts.
