Venous leg ulcers (VLU) respond well to compression, yet many ulcers remain unhealed after 1 year. Practitioners could be reluctant to apply compression to patients with significant ulcer pain. This study aimed to capture the views of practitioners on compression therapy for patients with painful VLU. A survey was conducted at a UK meeting in 2019 using handheld voting pads to capture the anonymous responses to four questions to which a mean of 90 practitioners responded. Nearly 40% of practitioners treat six or more patients a day with painful lower-limb ulcers. Some 80% felt confident in managing patients with painful ulcers; yet, most practitioners suggested they would refer onward for pain management. Some 40% would omit or reduce compression therapy as a pain management strategy. This survey supports the need for technological solutions that reduce VLU pain so that patients receive effective compression therapy.

Ropivacaine (RVC), a common pain management drug used for clinical anesthesia and postoperative analgesia, inhibits peripheral nociceptive pain stimulation. However, the potential neurological damage resulting from RVC use must be considered. Developing a strategy to enhance the local anesthetic effect of RVC while reducing its potential acute toxicity to the central nervous system is urgently needed. In this study, a novel RVC nanocomposite drug, magnetic iron oxide/polyethylene glycol-carboxymethyl chitosan/ropivacaine nanoparticle (mCMCS-PEG/RVC NPs), was synthesized with magnetic iron oxide. The inherent shell–core structure of mCMCS-PEG retained core magnetic properties, improved the stability and biocompatibility of magnetic nanoparticles, and avoided excessive degradation. Thus, mCMCS-PEG/RVC NPs are expected to provide a new pain management strategy for perioperative patients.
