“…This is a concern, but perhaps reflects the current leg ulceration literature, which suggests that compression is associated with a reduction of pain (Franks et al, 1994;RCN, 2006;Fogh et al, 2008). Furthermore, some patients do not experience a reduction in pain with compression, regardless of correct and appropriate application (Phillips et al, 1994;Chase et al, 2000;Wissing and Unosson, 2002;Nemeth et al, 2004;Hareendran et al, 2005;Heinen et al, 2007;Park et al, 2008;Price et al, 2008). This may create confusion in the nurses applying the compression.…”
