The Effect of Combined 650 nm and Infrared Laser on Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcer Surface Area: (wounds)
Diabetic Foot, Wound Heal
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Diabetic Foot focused on measuring 650 nm laser, infrared laser, chronic diabetic foot ulcer, wound surface area
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- 1- Diabetic patients with either type I or II 2- Age from 18-60 years old, both sexes 3- Ulcer lasting longer than two months 4- DFU grade 1 or 2 according to Wagner classification. 5- All patients able to walk dependently
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with vascular disease
- Patients with fixed ankle deformity as Charcot foot or stiffness
- Patients with any type of osteomyelitis associated with DFU
- Patients with renal or hepatic failure
- BMI < 30 kg/m2 as Obesity can cause poor perfusion due to vascular insufficiencies; altered population of immune mediators may lengthen the inflammatory process & decrease oxygenation of subcutaneous adipose tissue which is liable to be infected.

(II) Traditional wound care inform of Wound care treatment Debridement to remove necrotic tissue Irrigation of the wound by normal saline Change dressing daily to protect wound from infection Foot care Wash feet daily, dry carefully especially between toe Avoid extreme temperatures Inspection daily of foot blisters Foot wear Avoid walking bare foot Properly fitted shoes Avoid wearing open-toed shoes
