Successful treatment of severe venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers using ozone
OOT demonstrated substantial efficacy in reducing infection, alleviating pain, and promoting wound healing in patients with severe VLUs and DFUs, restoring their healthy, normal limbs. These findings support the use of OOT as a valuable adjunctive treatment. Further large-scale, randomized trials are needed to optimize treatment protocols and confirm long-term benefits.
