Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcer Unresponsive to Standard Care: A Case Report
This case demonstrates the potential benefits of HBOT as an adjunctive therapy in chronic DFUs unresponsive to standard care. HBOT, when combined with modern wound care strategies, may accelerate healing and reduce the risk of amputation in select patient populations. Further research is warranted to refine treatment protocols and establish evidence-based criteria for patient selection.
