ABSTRACT: Different techniques have been proposed for wound treatment including laser, electric therapy, EMF therapy (EMFT), ultrasound (US), magnetic field, etc. Recently, EMFs and US have shown great potential for wound treatment. Despite of several evidences about the beneficial effects of EMF and US in wound healing, no definite dose-response existed on the clinical trials applications of these techniques. In addition, the therapeutic outcomes of these techniques can be influenced by different parameters such as intrinsic properties of living organs as well as physical parameters of stimulations. For further development of EMF and US based treatments for wound healing it is necessary to develop more quantitative assessments for wound healing. This paper aims to provide an comparatively overview of the EMFT and US based techniques for wound healing, and highlight their main procedures and underpinning physical principles exerting therapeutic outcomes background. In addition, it compares their efficacies on wound healing.
