- Other: group 1 received topical Bee venom gel
- Registration Number
- NCT06374563
- Lead Sponsor
- Badr University
- Brief Summary
This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of topical Bee Venom gel versus phonophoresis of Bee Venom gel to accelerate healing of chronic pressure ulcer
- Detailed Description
In this study, the Bee Venom gel was prepared in a gel formula. Patients with chronic pressure ulcers were enrolled randomly into two different groups. Group 1 received a topical application of Bee Venom gel, 3 times per weeks. While group 2 received phonophoresis of Bee Venom gel using low frequency ultrasound, 3 times per week. The treatment lasted for 8 consecutive weeks. The Image J Software is used to measure the wound surface area before and after treatment.
