Description
Lenka Krupová and co-authors test a pressure-cycling therapy on stubborn leg ulcers. Their 2026 randomized study enrolled fifty patients whose chronic lower limb wounds had resisted standard care, giving half of them twelve vacuum compression sessions over four weeks on top of usual treatment.
The treated group's wounds shrank in width, depth, and volume far more than the controls': estimated volume fell by about sixty-one percent, while controls showed no clear reduction. Oxygen levels in foot tissue rose by over forty percent in the treated group. Quality of life improved more as well, and larger starting wounds tracked with worse daily life. The authors call the therapy promising while asking for controlled checks on the oxygen finding.
