MALE BODY BURN
The patient was working in an oil field when a gas valve exploded, causing him to suffer severe burns over the front and back of his trunk.
Five days after injury, Diapulse was administered for 15 minutes, at settings of 160 pulse frequency (PF) and 4 peak power (PP), to each of 4 areas: the anterior and posterior surfaces of the upper and lower thorax. Before the treatment was over, the patient reported cessation of pain.
Treatments were continued daily for 10 more days. The burns healed completely with no scarring. No skin graft was required; pigmentation was normal.
Without Diapulse treatment, prognosis for burns of this severity could be slow, painful healing over a period of several weeks, with the probability of skin grafts and extensive scarring.
