Effect of Bee Venom Phonophoresis on Healing of Chronic Lower Limb Ulcers

phonophoresis with Bee Venom gel in form of a noncontact low-frequency pulsed ultrasound delivered through Bee Venom gel as a topical treatment at a distance of between 5 and 15 mm from the ulcer wound bed, and time was 10 minutes for each session in addition to conservative treatment of medical ulcer care. The performance of the ultrasound applicator was tested regularly before and after each patient exposure; each test included all relevant acoustic field parameters (pressure amplitude, frequency) and uniformity of the field distribution. This type of test of the acoustic output of the applicators was important to eliminate the possibility of any malfunctioning of the devices.
