The experience with treatment of 126 patients with ulcerous-necrotic lesion of the lower extremities of different genesis was summarized. A comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment depending on a type of the magnetic field: the constant, alternating, or travelling impulse one was carried out. The most effective was the use of a travelling impulse magnetic field. The results of the investigation performed give grounds to recommend the wide use of magnetotherapy in the complex treatment of trophic ulcers of the lower extremities.
