Comparison of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Versus Moist Wound Dressing in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients
Sponsor: Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences
Summary
Diabetic foot ulcer is a common and disabling complication of diabetes mellitus. This randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences, Muzaffarabad to compare the efficacy of negative pressure wound therapy versus conventional moist wound dressing. A total of 60 patients aged 18-70 years with diabetic foot ulcer size greater than 3 cm will be randomly divided into two groups of 30 patients each. Group A will receive negative pressure wound therapy and Group B will receive moist wound dressing. Efficacy will be measured in terms of healing time and reduction in ulcer size after 4 weeks of treatment.
