Diabetic Foot, Wound Heal, Collagen Diseases
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Diabetic Foot focused on measuring infrared laser, red laser, chronic diabetic foot ulcer, collagen formation
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: aged between 18 and 60 years; both gender; Diabetic patients type II; Ulcer lasting longer than two months; diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) grade 1 (Superficial diabetic ulcer, ulcer limited to the dermis, not extending to the subcutis) or grade 2 (Ulcer of the skin extending through the subcutis with exposed tendon or bone and without osteomyelitis or abscess formation) according to the Wagner classification Exclusion Criteria: Patients with fixed ankle deformity as Charcot foot or stiffness; Patients with any type of osteomyelitis associated with DFU; the presence of active infection requiring hospitalization, gangrene, systemic diseases such as collagen-vascular diseases, renal failure, evidence of ischemia; BMI < 30 kg/m2 as Obesity can cause poor perfusion due to vascular insufficiencies; an altered population of immune mediators may lengthen the inflammatory process & decrease oxygenation of subcutaneous adipose tissue which is liable to be infected

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
