- Title
Acupuncture as add-on treatment in the management of a patient with ecthyma gangrenosum.
- Authors
Foell, Jens
- Abstract
Acupuncture is believed to have a positive effect on wound healing. A case is presented in which the healing of a leg ulcer which proved to be difficult to treat coincided with the added treatment modality of needling healthy tissue surrounding the lesion. It raises questions about the potential effect of local dry needling on tissue regeneration.
