Effect of Monochromatic Infrared Energy on Healing of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus: Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. * Presence of a Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU): Participants must have a current diabetic foot ulcer, typically classified as Wagner grade 1 or 2 (superficial or deep ulcers without bone involvement). * Ulcer Duration: The diabetic ulcer must be chronic, generally defined as a wound that has not healed within 30 days. * Adequate Circulation: Participants must have sufficient blood flow to the affected limb as confirmed by non-invasive vascular tests (e.g., Ankle-Brachial Index or Doppler ultrasound). * Ability to Consent: Participants must be able to provide informed consent and agree to comply with study protocols, including regular clinic visits for treatment and assessments. Exclusion Criteria: * Active Infection or Osteomyelitis: Presence of an active infection at the ulcer site or underlying bone infection (osteomyelitis). * Wagner Grade 3 or Higher: Participants with more severe ulcers, such as those extending to bone or involving gangrene, will be excluded. * Severe Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Participants with severe ischemia, as indicated by an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) below a certain threshold (e.g., \< 0.5), will be excluded. * Use of Other Phototherapy Modalities: Participants currently receiving other forms of phototherapy, including low-level laser therapy (LLLT), will not be eligible. * Recent Surgery on the Affected Limb: Part…
