Electrical Stimulation for Pressure Injuries: A Health Technology Assessment.

Conclusions: While electrical stimulation is safe to use (GRADE quality of evidence: high) there is uncertainty about whether it improves wound healing (GRADE quality of evidence: low). In Ontario, publicly funding electrical stimulation for pressure injuries could result in extra costs of $0.77 to $3.85 million yearly for the next 5 years. PMID: 29201261 [PubMed - in process]
