Phototherapy With LED Shows Promising Results In Healing Chronic Wounds In Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Study

Article Summary

This study conducted a prospective randomized double-blind study to investigate the effects of phototherapy with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on chronic diabetic wound healing.

Chronic diabetic wounds pose challenges due to underlying conditions like angiopathy and neuropathy, making conventional treatment options insufficient. The study included 60 patients who were randomly assigned to either the LED group or the control group.

The LED group received LED treatment three times a week for 8 weeks, while the control group received simulated LED light. Evaluation of wound healing using the Falanga wound bed score and wound surface area showed that the LED group had significantly faster wound bed healing compared to the control group.

These findings suggest that LED phototherapy is a promising approach for improving the healing of chronic diabetic wounds and preparing the wound bed for further treatment options.

I’ve been using Neurocare Pro for years and there quality is always consistent and they have helped my practice with support. I highly recommend you use Neurocare Pro products and access their team of professionals to assist with implementation and protocol needs.”

Dr. Busch, Clinic Owner

“UNBELIEVABLE Results!!! I purchased the 2-port controller with the lumbar pad from my doctor in hopes for improving the appearance of a 30yr old keloid scar on my stomach (it was raised & discolored) I am over the moon thrilled with the results. It has not only smoothed out to my skin surface but has completely returned to my original skin tone. I have actually had surgery to revise this incision with zero results, so as you can imagine Neurocare Pro therapy has provided me with a small miracle. Cannot thank you enough.“

Kim G., Patient

“I was in a car accident where I suffered head trauma and applied Neurocare Pro products and protocols and it has been an amazing journey to better health. I saw the results happen to ME and became such a believer that I am now an advocate and affiliate of Neurocare Pro products myself!“

Charla Blevins, Former Patient
