“…Its incidence is higher in women and only 30% of men are affected, which represents 3% to 5% of the population over 65 years old 1,[3][4][5][6] . It causes significant social impact, is prone to complications, such as infection and hemorrhage, limits quality of life and causes psychological changes.…”

Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of Bacterial Cellulose (BC) membrane dressings in the treatment of lower limb venous ulcers. Methods: we carried out a prospective, randomized, controlled study of 25 patients with chronic venous ulcer disease in the lower limbs from the Angiology and Vascular Surgery Service of the Federal University of Pernambuco Hospital and from the Salgado Polyclinic of the County Health Department, Caruaru, Pernambuco. We randomly assigned patients to two groups: control group, receiving dressings with triglyceride oil (11 patients) and experimental group, treated with BC membrane (14 patients). We followed the patients for a period of 120 days. Results: There was a reduction in the wound area in both groups. There were no infections or reactions to the product in any of the groups. Patients in the BC group showed decreased pain and earlier discontinuation of analgesic use. Conclusion: BC membrane can be used as a dressing for the treatment of varicose ulcers of the lower limbs.

“…There are statistical data showing that CVD patients are predominantly women, 17,27,28 due to hormonal factors and also aesthetic reasons that mean that women seek treatment three times more often than men. 29 Comparison of the characteristics of the sample assessed in this study with the results of certain prevalence studies shows that both the risk factors for CVD and the age range are in line with the literature.…”

Background: In chronic venous disease (CVD), vascular physiotherapy in the form of therapeutic exercises and manual lymph drainage (MLD) contributes to reducing vascular disorders, with improved venous return, reduced venous stasis and improved clinical status. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of vascular physiotherapy in treatment of CVD. Methods: A prospective, longitudinal pilot study that assessed ten patients with CVD, with CEAP classifications from 1 to 5. Patients were administered the SF-36 and AVVQ quality of life questionnaires and underwent water plethysmography and goniometry of the lower limbs. After initial assessments they were given ten 60-minute sessions of vascular physiotherapy consisting of therapeutic exercises and MLD. After treatment they were once more assessed using the same questionnaires and methods for volumetric measurement and assessment of joint movement amplitude (JMA). Results: The patients were all female, with a mean age of 43.1 years. Their predominant positions during practical activities of life was prolonged and orthostatic. The majority of the patients had a CEAP classification of C 3 and just 10% were C 2 . When questioned about their principal complaints, they reported feelings of heaviness and tiredness in their limbs, pain in their legs, itching and swelling. After the vascular physiotherapy sessions all patients were free from complaints. Both JMA and quality of life improved significantly after the intervention with vascular physiotherapy. Conclusions: Vascular physiotherapy contributed to controlling the clinical manifestations of CVD, improving edema and JMA, and promoting improved quality of life for patients.

Nowadays, the varicose ulcers (VUs) are one of the most worrying leg ulcers and are an important global health problem, with high costs related to the treatment and its complications. Moreover, the quality of life (QOL) of the patient could be affected by pain, sleep disorders, functional impairment, depression, and isolation. The VU patient care is complex, and it is necessary to know the aspects that contribute to the healing process for developing effective strategies. The members of the multidisciplinary health team should identify sociodemographic, clinical, and care aspects that interfere in tissue repair and therefore impacting the QOL. Self-efficacy, adherence to treatment, and self-esteem are other important aspects also related to healing and QOL, with implications for health care and the multidisciplinary team. To sum up, the use of multidisciplinary protocols allows the systematization of care for people with VUs in order to standardize therapeutic interventions with the aim to decrease the healing process time and, as a consequence, to improve the QOL.
