An interventional study of electromagnetic field and a plantar resistance exercise and Pulsed electromagnetic field in Venous Leg Ulcer, sponsored by Mona Mohamed Taha. Status unknown at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 55 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-06-08.
Sponsored by Mona Mohamed Taha · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study will investigate the effects of combined electromagnetic field and a plantar resistance exercise therapy versus electromagnetic field on healing of venous leg ulcer .
378 studies on the registry are indexed under Varicose Ulcer; 80 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is close to the median of 64 across 325 interventional studies indexed under Varicose Ulcer.

patients with venous leg ulcer
Exclusion Criteria:
patients who have one or more of the following conditions:
Combination Product: electromagnetic field and a plantar resistance exercise
Device: Pulsed electromagnetic field
Other: usual care
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy applied with intensity equal to 3mt and frequency of magnetic field impulses equal to 4 Hz. a plantar resistance exercise therapy by the StepIt rocker pedal, the overall exercise program will be to exercise on the pedal with the index leg for 1 min - then rest it for 1min - and to repeat this 10 times (20 minutes). This regime will be done twice daily (e.g .morning and evening).
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy applied with intensity equal to 3mt and frequency of magnetic field impulses equal to 4 Hz
standard general advice according to hospital protocol
Ulcer surface area
Ulcer surface (UAS) would be calculated by placing a piece of sterilized transparency film over the ulcer and tracing the ulcer perimeter on the film with fine tipped transparency marker.
Time frame: two months
Ulcer volume measurement
Ulcer volume : The ulcer would be traced on transparent paper and placed over the metric graph paper to have the longest length and width. * A disposable measuring tape would be directed into the deepest point of the ulcer to record the ulcer depth. * (Width x length x depth) would be calculated to have the volume of the ulcer
Time frame: two months
Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH)
Categorize the ulcer with respect to surface area, exudate, and type of wound tissue
Time frame: two months
