ABSTRACT:
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 activity sore. The sore can subsequently be monitored for independent electrical activity, and if independent electrical activity is not sustained, step (b) is reapplied. The treatment method is particularly appropriate for bedsores.
