Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Combined With Polarized Light Therapy Effect on Neuropathic Foot Ulcer

Egypt40 participantsStarted 2025-06-01

Plain-language summary

Neuropathic ulcers develop due to nerve damage (neuropathy), commonly seen in conditions like diabetes, leading to loss of sensation, repetitive trauma, and poor wound healing. These ulcers typically occur on weight-bearing areas, hyperbaric oxygen and polarized light therapies may have a synergistic effect, improving oxygenation, cellular activity, and overall healing outcomes in neuropathic ulcers, particularly in diabetic foot ulcers.
