Despite conflicting and contradictory evidence regarding its efficacy, some wound care centres have advocated and adopted ozone for treating DFU. However, there are gaps in the application of topical ozone therapy. Reported no significant impact on the healing process of DFU, and not all said that topical ozone can enhance the healing process. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of topical ozone therapy in conjunction with standard wound care versus routine wound care alone in treating DFU. The wound, ischemia, and foot infection (WIFI) scale was used to measure wound size, the tissue survival rate at DFU, infection, peripheral microcirculation, glycemic control, Hba1c control, and wound healing.
