Abstract The objective of the current study was to investigate which method is more effective the high or the low frequency Transcutaneous electric Nerve Stimulations (TENS) on venous lower limb ulcers. A single-blinded, randomized, and controlled trial was done successfully. Sixty lower limb venous ulcer patients were divided into three groups; group (A), twenty patients who received routine medical care and dressing, As for group (B), twenty patients who obtained H-frequency TENS; Frequency (80- 120) HZ, intensity (15 - 30 amp), Pulse duration 250 Micro sec, 60 min / session with routine medical care and dressing. group (c) Low frequency TENS, encompasses twenty patients who received L- TENS (1-5) HZ; intensity (30 −80 amp), Pulse duration 250 Micro sec, 60 min / session with routine medical care and dressing. All the patients were examined before, after four weeks (post1), and after eight weeks (post 2) from the beginning of the treatment.
