Abstract
Different clinical studies have shown the influence of pH on wound healing. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the underlying mechanisms that cause the changes of pH levels observed in practice. In this paper, we address the study of wound healing from a bioelectric point of view: a first proposal based on charge dynamics is presented together with the implication of the endogenous electric fields. In order to show the applicability of the model, pH curves haven been obtained and have been successfully compared with trends and behavior reported in the literature.
