PROCEDURE

ultrasonication-mediated microbubbles dressing

The microbubble suspension is diluted with normal saline to a concentration of 2x10\^7 bubbles/mL, applied to a gauze cloth, and covered on the joint skin surface. The joint is ultrasonicated for 3 minutes using an ultrasonic implanter (KUM-2000, NEO-TEC, Taipei, Taiwan), and then piroxicam gel is applied. The parameter values for ultrasonication are duty cycle 0.5, Tempo 10, intensity 70%, and time 3 min. This treatment is performed on day 1, 3, and 5.

PROCEDURE

ultrasonication using pure gel

The joint is ultrasonicated for 3 minutes using an ultrasonic implanter (KUM-2000, NEO-TEC, Taipei, Taiwan) with pure gel, and then piroxicam gel is applied. The parameter values for ultrasonication are duty cycle 0.5, Tempo 10, intensity 70%, and time 3 min. This treatment is performed on day 1, 3, and 5.
