Electrical Stimulation Therapy (EST) is one of the most widely evidence-based therapy areas in wound management. The extensive evidence base includes nine meta-analyses (scroll down), eight systematic reviews and over 35 RCTs, that describe the efficacy of EST in wound management.
Although the EST described in these studies is delivered via a variety of formats and stimulation parameters, this evidence base does provide a high level of validity and confidence in the science, mode of action and clinical effect of this technology platform.
Nine meta-analyses support the ability of EST to enhance wound-related outcomes.
