Abstract
High voltage stimulation (HVS) influences tissue repair at the level of the wound environment. This article discusses research findings and clinical use of HVS for enhancement of wound healing. A brief review of theories and current scientific rationale for use of HVS is provided. Included is a brief examination of research dealing with high voltage peak current, and wound healing processes. This article summarises recent developments and trends in the use of HVS for healing in order to facilitate clinicians' decision-making capabilities, and their understanding of treatment options.
