The Impact of Adjunct Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Healing Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Retrospective Case-Control Study at a Tertiary Care Center
This study demonstrates a positive correlation between HBOT and the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. HBOT, when used as an adjunct to standard-of-care treatment, significantly shortened the time to healing in University of Texas grade 1 ulcers. Further research in this area may justify considering HBOT as a standard-of-care treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.
