Using Physical Modalities in the Treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers
The study length (14 years) could have introduced some variability in methods and procedures. At the same time, the authors were unable to follow patients for a sufficient amount of time to observe healing. Although study outcomes were consistent in each treatment group, the absence of blinding and use of placebo in the control groups is a limitation of this study that may affect the generalizability of the findings.
