Acceleration of infected/clean chronic non-healing wound by using Extremely Low Frequency
Electromagnetic (ELF-EM) waves

Statement of the Problem: Healing is a complex cascade of cellular events that generates resurfacing, reconstitution, and
restoration of the tensile strength of injured skin. Factors that contribute to non-healing chronic wounds are diabetes, venous
or arterial disease, infection, and metabolic deficiencies of old age. The wound healing process is not only complex but also
fragile. Wound care encourages and speeds wound healing via cleaning and protection from re-injury or infection. Adequate
control of blood glucose levels plays a crucial role in diabetic healing wound.
Aim: The aim of this study was to demonstrate a new method for enhancement wound healing process, through extremely low
frequency electromagnetic waves (ELF-EMW-ELF-EM) at 0.7 HZ.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Patients will be screened for fulfillment of the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Medical history, physical examination, Local and systemic signs and symptoms of infection, wound (infected/ clean) description
and vital signs were evaluated. Bacteriological assessment as a swab was collected from infected site(s) before and after each
session, for culture and identification of the causative pathogen, without the patient received antibiotic regimen. Patient was
exposed to one session every other day till complete eradication of causative pathogen of the infection.
Findings: In infected wound, the bacteriological cultures revealed no growth for microorganisms by the end of sessions.
Healing process monitoring was measured in infected as well as clean wound.
Conclusions: The resonance frequency of ELF-EM waves that inhibit bacterial growth will be promising method for the
wound healing process.
Significance of the Study: This new non-invasive technique for treatment of bacterial infections and wound healing is of
considerable interest for the use in medical and chronic non-healing wounds.
Biography
Mostafa Abohatab is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin. He spent years in research related to surgical complications of skin grafting, control of
infected surgical wounds. He is a participating as a member in the team of the clinical trial to assess the role of ELF-EM waves in accelerating healing in infected
and non-healing surgical wounds.
