Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of red and infrared LED phototherapy on diabetic foot ulcers in volunteers aged 30 to 65 with grade I or II ulcers, assigned to different treatment groups or a control group.
- Interventions were conducted at home daily for 12 weeks, with evaluations of wound healing, skin temperature, sensitivity, and pain recorded at multiple checkpoints before and after treatment.
- Results indicated significant clinical improvements in wound healing for the red and infrared LED groups compared to the control, with infrared LED showing the highest effectiveness in reducing ulcer size.
