Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be a randomized, open-label, pretest post-test with two study groups.

Description:

The randomization procedure will be performed by a simple drawing of lots (A or B) which determined whether participants would receive Shock wave therapy ( group A) or vacuum-assisted closure therapy (group B). Patients in both groups will receive the same medical treatment and nursing care.

Intervention

Device:
• Shock wave therapy
using gymna Shock Master 500 with an input voltage of alternating current (AC) 220 Volte, 100 pulses at 0.13 m joule/mm at 3 Hz per session for 6 weeks.
• Vacuum-assisted closure
Using KCI's Vacuum Assisted Closure Device for six weeks, the pump delivered an intermittent negative pressure of -125 mmHg. The cycle was of seven minutes during which the pump was on for five minutes and off for two minutes, the dressings were changed on the fourth day.
