Abstract
Methods and systems for treating a tissue with a high frequency electric field to activate MAPK/ERK pathways, induce angiogenesis, induce angionenic factos such as NO and VEGF, or promote wound healing. Aspects of the invention are directed to methods of treating chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers and hypoxia induced wounds. Aspects utilize high frequency electric field having a frequency in the GHz range, and preferably between about 1 GHz and about 10 GHz.
