Purpose: This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) photobio modulation (PBM) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on healing of prolonged diabetic foot ulcers. Patients and Methods: One hundred patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFU); their ages ranged from 40-65 years. The patients were assigned randomly into four groups. Control group received conventional wound care only, LLLT group received GaAlAs diode laser, its power output was1440 mW with following wave lengths: 5 x 850 nm 200 mW, 12 x 670 nm 10mW, 8 x 880 nm 25 mW, 8 x 950nm 15mW and energy density (flounce) was adjusted for 4 J/cm2 with pulse frequency of 10 KHZ, each session lasted 8 minutes for 3 times per week day after day. HBOT group received 100%pure oxygen under 2.5 ATA delivered for 60 minutes per session for 3.. Read More»
