Efficacy of a Self-managed Cooling Intervention for Pain and Physical Activity in Individuals With Recently Healed Chronic Venous Leg and Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Application of the cooling pack compared to placebo was minimally efficacious in reducing posthealing pain and improving function in this posthealed ulcer population. However for pain, scores were initially low; thus outcomes on pain, while lower, were marginal. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on December 10, 2015 (Identifier: NCT02626156), https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02626156.

Topical Wound Therapy Products With Ionic Silver: A Technologic Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Various formulations of ionic silver products are used for topical treatment of wounds. Antimicrobial activity varies according to the specific silver formulation and type of microorganisms in the wound bed. In vitro evidence suggests that some bacterial strains may be developing resistance to ionic silver. Improved knowledge of the benefits and safety precautions associated with topical silver preparations can guide its application to topical therapy for wound healing.
