Abstract
Purpose: to assess the efficacy of the polarized light versus low intensity laser in improving healing of the venous ulcers. Methods of assessment (wound surface area and colony count). Methods: - Forty-five (25 males and 20 females) patients with leg venous ulcers were divided randomly into three group. Group (A) received the polarized light .Group (B) received the low intensity laser, both groups received also the conservative ulcer care .Group (C) (Control group) received only the conservative ulcer care. Results: - The result showed that the polarized light is more effective in decreasing ulcer surface area and colony count as well as enhancing the healing of venous ulcers than the low intensity laser. Conclusion: - both the polarized light (to larger extent) and the low intensity laser (to lesser extent) were effective in improving ulcer healing in venous ulcers.
