Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of shockwave treatment to reduce the size of chronic wounds.
Method: A quasi-experimental design will be used. The population under study will include patients admitted in the Functional Recovery Unit who present chronic wounds upon admission. The sample size will be 30 patients. An intentional non-probabilistic sampling will be carried out. Main outcome: decrease the wound size. Sociodemographic variables, personal history, comorbidities, current clinical situation, shock wave treatment variables and its evolution will be collected.
Applicability: In case of findings are better than habitually care, the number of treatments required by the patient would be reduced, the patient's state of health would improve, the risk of infection of the wound decrease, and the comfort and quality of life of patients could improve. The findings may represent a change in clinical practice because they may be used to modify the treatment protocols for chronic wounds at the Guadarrama Hospital and in other similar hospitals. Also, they can contribute to the evidence based care which supports shockwave treatment.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
The parameters for shock wave therapy will be: frequency 4-6 Hz, intensity 0.075-0.11 mJ/mm2 (millijoules per millimeter), number of pulses 350+10xcm2 (square centimetre) of wound surface (the number of pulsations is dependent of the surface), with sterile field (sterile gel on the wound and sterile transparent film to cover it). They will be applied by sweeping the surface of the wound and 1 centimetre around it. In each session, the session-specific data notebook and the appearance of side effects (pain, bleeding, others) will be recorded. Subsequently, the conventional healing procedure will be applied, according to the procedures for healing chronic wounds of the Guadarrama Hospital.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
3 to 6 shock wave treatment sessions will be performed (PiezoWave 2 Control Unit Generator, classification 93/42/EEC class IIb), with a frequency of two sessions per week.
