Treatment and study plan
Laser Therapy
DevicePulsed high intensity laser therapy is applied to wound bed
Negative pressure therapy is applied to the negative pressure group
DeviceIt will be applied to patients with chronic wound
Primary outcomes
-
wound surface area
Time frame: one month
imitoMeasure Mobil application: The ImitoMeasure app is a noncontact digital planimetry application that measures wound surface area and offers an advantage over other methods. The introduction of smartphones with high-definition cameras. These devices are not only portable and inexpensive, but they also provide the convenience of on-the-spot assessments.
Secondary outcomes
-
qulity of life
Time frame: one month and three months
Wound quality of life questionnaire The Wound-QoL questionnaire has been tested in a previous study, indicating that it is a reliable and valid tool for assessing HRQoL in chronic wounds. It contains 17 items, each with a 5-point Likert scale (0 = not at all, 4 = very much).
