A method for the treatment of a sore by applying a series of voltage wave forms, including the steps of: (a) situating a pair of spaced-apart electrodes in contact with healthy tissue on opposite sides of a sore having substantially zero electrical activity, and (b) externally inducing a percutaneous flow of electrical current between the electrodes by establishing the series of voltage wave forms across the electrodes, wherein the series of voltage wave forms includes wave forms designed to substantially mimic characteristic natural voltage wave form emissions of at least one electrically active sore. The graph in which the typical wave form of the present invention, is compared with a portion of the optimal wave form according to the prior art. The voltage rises in linear fashion (10) until a predetermined current flow is reached and then is maintained (20) until the end of the treatment single time period which is the half cycle determined by the selected frequency. The sore can subsequently be monitored for independent electrical activity, and if independent electrical activity is not sustained, step (b) is reapplied. The treatment is particularly appropriate for bedsores.
L'invention concerne un procédé relatif au traitement des escarres de décubitus par application d'une série de formes d'onde de tension, selon les étapes suivantes: (a) implantation d'une paire d'électrodes espacées en contact avec le tissu sain sur les côtés opposés d'une escarre à activité électrique sensiblement nulle, et (b) induction externe d'un flux percutané de courant électrique entre les électrodes, par établissement d'une série de formes d'onde de tension entre les électrodes, cette série comprenant des formes d'onde qui permettent de reproduire sensiblement les émissions naturelles de forme d'onde de tension caractéristique propres au moins à une escarre électriquement active. Ensuite, on peut contrôler l'escarre pour déceler toute absence d'activité électrique indépendante, moyennant quoi l'absence en question est palliée par la reconduction de l'étape (b).Le procédé de traitement considéré est particulièrement approprié aux escarres de décubitus.
