Ionized gas for medical treatment

A method for treatment of a pathology-affected site in a subject, the method comprising providing said site with a net electrical charge for a period of time by subjecting the subject to a flux of ionized gas molecules whereby is provided an electrical current between said site and tissue outside said site, wherein

• a discharge electrode is located outside said site on or in the subject's body so as to sustain the electrical current between said site and the discharge electrode and
• the electrical current has a direction, which is kept constant over time during treatment or wherein the direction of the electrical current is shifted at least once during treatment by shifting the charge of the ionized gas molecules, and
• said site is a wound area, and
• said electrical current is at most 4 μA and effective to increase wound healing rate.

• said site is selected from the group consisting of:
• a chronic wound and a burn, and
• said electrical current is at most 4 μA and effective to increase wound healing rate.
