Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of the polarized light therapy versus Ga-As laser in accelerating pressure ulcers healing. Methods: Methods of evaluation (wound surface area and wound volume). Sixty patients (38 male and 22 female) with complete or incomplete spinal cord injury and complain from pressure ulcers were consequently divided into three groups. group (A) received the polarized light therapy plus the regular wound care. group (B) received Ga-As laser plus the regular wound care; duration of treatment was 10 minutes, twice a day (session every 12 hours) for one month. group (C) (Control group) received only the regular wound care. Results: Result showed that both the polarized light therapy and Ga-As laser were effective and nearly equivalent and have no significant difference between two experimental groups in decreasing ulcer surface area and ulcer volume as well as improving healing of pressure ulcers. Conclusion: - both methods were effective and nearly equivalent in accelerating pressure ulcer healing
