Healing Rate and Time to Closure of Venous Leg Ulcers: A Real-World Service Evaluation of Neuromuscular Electrostimulation as an Adjunct to Compression Therapy

Adding NMES of the common peroneal nerve to a care bundle including multicomponent compression resulted in significantly faster wound margin advance and significantly less time to heal in comparison with retrospective matched controls. Future randomized controlled trials or self-controlled studies of this approach would be of great interest to inform clinical practice.
