Abstract
The present approaches are generally directed to facilitating healing of wounds, including chronic wounds typically associated with slow heal times or which are persistent. In one embodiment, a method of promoting wound healing comprises positioning an ultrasound transducer at a stimulation site on a subject having a wound. Pulsed focused ultrasound (pFUS) is non-invasively applies using the transducer to cause modulation of a target anatomic site containing resident or circulating immune cells. Modulation of the target anatomic site of the subject causes migration of one or more of monocytes, macrophages, or neutrophils to a wound bed of the wound.
