Abstract
A non-invasive method for the treatment of sores having substantially zero electrical activity, including the steps of: (a) situating a pair of spaced-apart electrodes in contact with healthy tissue on opposite sides of an area containing cells to be treated, (b) externally inducing and maintaining a percutaneous flow of electrical current between the electrodes through the area by establishing an external voltage wave form across the electrodes, (c) monitoring the area for independent electrical activity, wherein the sores are sores having substantially zero electrical activity, and (d) if the independent electrical activity is not sustained: reapplying step (b). The treatment method is particularly appropriate for bedsores.
