Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of ultraviolet with specialized electro-magnetic wave on pressure sore.Methods105 sores in 80 patients were divided into ultraviolet with specialized electro-magnetic wave group and the routine group.Healing time for the sores was observed.ResultsHealing rate of pressure sore within 5 d was 94.1% and 40.5% in the ultraviolet with specialized electro-magnetic wave group and the routine group,respectively (P<0.001).ConclusionThe efficacy of ultraviolet with specialized electro-magnetic wave is superior to routine therapy on pressure sore.

Key words: ultraviolet, specialized electro-magnetic wave, pressure sore, healing time
