Adherence to Self-care and Quality of Life of Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers Treated with Low-Level Laser Therapy: An Exploratory Study.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of patients with a diabetic foot ulcer undergoing treatment with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) at 904 nm and its association with self-care.

Methods: In this randomized, exploratory study, participants were divided into the following four groups: control group (CG) with LLLT placebo, LLLT group 1 (LG1) at 10 J/cm2, LLLT group 2 (LG2) at 8 J/cm2, and LLLT group 3 (LG3) at 4 J/cm2. Participants received light therapy (or placebo) twice a week, for a total of 20 sessions.

The association of diabetic peripheral neuropathy with cardiac autonomic neuropathy in individuals with diabetes mellitus: A systematic review.

Unlabelled: This systematic review aimed to explore the relationship between diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in individuals with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods: The systematic review follow the protocol registered in Prospero (CRD42020182899). Two authors independently searched the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases.

The role of light emitting diode in wound healing: A systematic review of experimental studies.

Wounds represent a growing global issue demanding increased attention. To expedite wound healing, technologies are under development, and light emitting diode (LED) devices of varying wavelengths are being explored for their stimulating influence on the healing process. This article presents a systematic literature review aiming to compile, organize, and analyze the impacts of LED devices on wound healing.

Dose-response and efficacy of 904 nm photobiomodulation on diabetic foot ulcers healing: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the impact of a 904 nm photobiomodulation (PBM) on diabetic ulcers using varying dosages.

Methods: The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that compared treatments using PBM (GaAs 904 nm 30w) with three different energy densities (4 J/cm; 8 J/cm; 10 J/cm) in the healing process of non-infected diabetic foot ulcers. Eighty volunteers (48.

Therapeutic Interventions to Improve Static Balance in Type 2 DiabetesMellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by an abnormal increase in blood glucose levels resulting from insulin secretion and/or dysfunctional activity that can lead to several serious complications in addition to decreased postural balance.

Objective: This study aimed to identify and analyze the main interventions used to improve static balance in patients with DM.

Methods: For the selection of articles, a bibliographic search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane databases.

Morphological and functional changes in skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Changes in the skeletal muscle are common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These changes impair your motor skills.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to investigate changes in skeletal muscle in patients with T2DM.

Dose-response and efficacy of low-level laser therapy on diabetic foot ulcers healing: Protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Current evidence shows that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is an effective non-invasive and non-pharmacological strategy to treat diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). However, knowledge of parameterization efficacy remains unclear.

Methods: This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial will be conducted at the Physical Therapy University Clinic.

Update of Topical Interventions for Healing Diabetic Ulcers-A Systematic Review.

There are a variety of dressings for wound healing. For this reason, research can assist in the choice and proper use of the intervention. This current view of the effectiveness of dressing on diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Self-Care in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review.

Background: Self-care is essential for the prevention of complications in patients with diabetes, but several authors report that even with health education programs, the incidence of complications in patients with diabetes continues to increase.

Objective: We aimed to examine adherence to self-care strategies and the repercussions of adherence on the clinical profiles of individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: We performed a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
