Abstract
Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are ulcers that occur on the lower leg due to venous disease. Application of electrical current to the wound through EST is thought to positively influence wound healing processes.1 Evidence from small randomised controlled trials (RCTs) suggests that EST is associated with more rapid healing of VLUs, primarily when it is used in conjunction with compression therapy.2-6 There is a very small amount of evidence suggesting EST could also be beneficial in clinical cases where compression therapy is not tolerated.4, 7 There is insufficient evidence to recommend any specific EST type or regimen over another (Level 1).
