Electrical Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Increase Vascular Perfusion in People With PAD or PVD
The purpose of this study is to apply Avazzia micro-current stimulation to patients with chronic, non-healing wounds to determine if this therapy is effective in perfusion and bacterial measurements.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

- Patient is diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth or similar genetically inheritable
neuropathic disease(s)
- Patient is diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease/dialysis or severe kidney
