Main idea: The present meta-analysis indicates that stem cell-based therapy can enhance the healing of diabetic foot ulcers and is associated with lesser pain, lower amputation rate and improved prognosis compared with normal treatment. Well-designed randomized controlled trials are required in the future in order to confirm and update these findings. Abstract Diabetic foot ulcer […]

Main idea: This sham-controlled, double-blind randomized controlled trial demonstrates that, at both 12 weeks and 12 months, adjunctive cyclical pressurized Topical Wound Oxygen therapy was superior in healing chronic DFUs compared with optimal standard of care alone. Abstract Objective: Topical oxygen has been used for the treatment of chronic wounds for more than 50 years. […]

Main idea: In this randomized clinical trial, Cold atmospheric plasma therapy resulted in beneficial effects in chronic wound treatment in terms of wound surface reduction and time to wound closure independent from background infection. Abstract Importance: Diabetic foot ulcers are a common complication of diabetes and require specialized treatment. Cold atmospheric plasma has been associated […]
