Previous issue date: 2014-02-04 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / Venous wounds cause physical, psychological and financial problems that impact the quality of life of patients. Treatment alternatives are investigated in order to reduce healthcare costs and improve quality of life of people affected by this problem. Physical resources, such as therapeutic ultrasound (US), are being considered in the treatment of ulcers as a potential healing agent. This study aimed to investigate the application of US as a treatment for venous ulcers. Subjects were divided into two groups: US group, where treatment consisted of 5 sessions of pulsed US (3 MHz, 1W/cm?) associated with compression and kinesiotherapy; and sham group, where individuals went through the same procedures, but with sham US therapy. Subjects were evaluated for wound size by planimetry and digital photography, visual analogue scale for pain, quality of life by the questionnaires SF- 36 and VEINES-QoL/Sym and enzymatic activity of metalloproteinases 2 and 9 by zymography. It was observed mean reduction in wound area of 41.58?53.8% for the US group and 63.47?37.2% for the placebo group, maintenance of quality of life scores in the US group and significant improvement (p<0.05) in the placebo group by VEINES questionnaire. It was observed decreased perception of pain in the placebo group. Sample feasibility for analysis of the protein activity of metalloproteinases 2 and 9 by zymography collected by swab method was also confirmed. Our data did not give us evidence to support the theory that the US accelerates healing of venous ulcers in a short-term analysis. However, we observed that standard care associated with compression therapy and kinesiotherapy were able to significantly shorten the progression of chronic venous ulcers / As ?lceras cut?neas de origem venosa causam problemas f?sicos, psicol?gicos e financeiros que impactam a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Alternativas de tratamento s?o investigadas no intuito de reduzir gastos com a sa?de e melhorar a qualidade de vida das pessoas acometidas com esse problema. Recursos f?sicos como o ultrassom (US) terap?utico vem sendo considerados no tratamento de ?lceras como potencial agente cicatrizador. O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a aplica??o de US como terap?utica para a ?lcera venosa. Indiv?duos foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo US, onde o tratamento consistia de 5 sess?es de aplica??o de US pulsado (3 MHz, 1W/cm?) associadas ? terapia compressiva e cinesioterapia; e grupo placebo, onde os indiv?duos passavam pelos mesmos procedimentos, por?m com US placebo. Foram avaliados quanto ao tamanho do ferimento por planimetria e fotografia digital, dor por escala visual anal?gica, qualidade de vida pelos question?rios SF-36 e VEINES-QoL/Sym e atividade enzim?tica de metaloproteinases 2 e 9 por meio de zimografia. Foi observada redu??o m?dia da ?rea da ferida 41,58%?53,8 para o grupo US e 63,47%?37,2 para o grupo placebo, manuten??o dos escores de qualidade de vida no grupo US e melhora significativa (p<0,05) no grupo Placebo pelo question?rio VEINES. Observou-se diminui??o da percep??o de dor no grupo placebo. Confirmou-se viabilidade de amostra para an?lise da atividade proteica de metaloproteinases 2 e 9 por zimografia coletada por m?todo de swab. Diante dos dados, n?o obtivemos evid?ncias suficientes para suportar a teoria que o US acelera a cicatriza??o de ?lceras venosas em curto prazo. No entanto, pudemos observar que o tratamento padr?o associado ? terapia compressiva e ? cinesioterapia foram capazes de abreviar significativamente a progress?o das ?lceras venosas cr?nicas
