Comparative efficacy and safety of non-pharmacological nursing interventions for diabetic foot ulcers: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
This analysis provides targeted evidence for selecting adjunctive nursing interventions based on specific clinical goals. LT and US are optimal for enhancing wound closure and reducing wound area, ESWT is most effective for rapid healing and limb preservation, EXER excels at recurrence prevention, and CDO offers superior safety. These findings facilitate tailored nurse-led care plans and inform clinical guidelines.
