Study Overview
Brief Summary
Step 1: Literature Search An extensive literature search is done to expand knowledge about the various methods and outcome methods followed for diabetic ulcers. Step 2: Sample Collection The samples are taken for study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the purposive sampling method. The participants are explained clearly about the study and the procedure and are given a consent form that describes the study. They are requested to go through the consent form and then sign it. By doing so, the participant agrees to take part in the study.Step 3: Case Group and Control Group All the participants in the study were pre-tested by measuring the wound size with the imitomeasure app, and the pain scale was noted. The participants are allocated based on simple random sampling. The case group is given low-level laser therapy for 3 weeks with 7 sessions. The control group is treated with medications.Step 4: Comparison After 3 weeks, the size of the wound is measured and compared with the previous ones. The percentage of wound size reduction is calculated, and the results are given.
