A single-blinded, randomized, and controlled trial was done successfully. Sixty venous ulcer patients were divided randomly into three groups; Group (A): control group, Group(B): High-TENS group, and Group(C): Low-TENS group. Group (A), contains twenty participants who received routine medical care and dressing. As for group (B), includes twenty participants who obtained high-frequency TENS; Frequency (80-120) HZ, Intensity (15 - 30 amp), Pulse duration 250 Micro sec, 60\u2005min per session with routine medical care and dressing. The third group (c) L-TENS, encompasses twenty participants who received low-frequency TENS (1-5) HZ; Intensity (30 \u221280 amp), Pulse duration 250 Micro sec, 60\u2005min per session with routine medical care and dressing. All the participants were examined before and after two months of intervention; four weeks (post1), then after eight weeks (post2). Participants were examined by using (image j) to measure the ulcer area. Saline was used for measuring the ulcer volume, and a visual analog scale was adopted to evaluate pain. After drawing a comparison among the three groups after four weeks and after eight weeks of treatment, a statistically significant decrease (P &lt;0.05) in wound surface area, wound volume, and pain in favor of L-TENS was noticed. It has been found that L- TENS is more effective than H -TENS and is highly recommended in the treatment protocol for such debilitating conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15347346221093860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,15]],"date-time":"2022-04-15T01:50:30Z","timestamp":1649987430000},"page":"376-382","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["High Versus Low Frequency Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation On Chronic Venous Lower Limb Ulceration Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5475-1676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed M.","family":"Elfahl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Modern University for Information and Technology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amal M.","family":"Abd El Baky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cairo University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed T.","family":"Yousef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant professor and chairman of Endo Vascular Surgery Department, Al-Mataria Teaching Hospital, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hany M.","family":"Elgohary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cairo University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5114\/ada.2021.110116"},{"issue":"8","key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"989","article-title":"Diagnosis and treatment of venous ulcers","volume":"81","author":"Collins L","year":"2010","unstructured":"Collins L, Seraj S.
