Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the added effect of Russian current stimulation along with standard surgical dressing in promoting wound healing, improving plantar foot pressure, and enhancing functional recovery in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. A total of 22 participants with Wagner Grade I and II diabetic foot ulcers will be randomly allocated into two groups: one receiving standard surgical dressing alone (control group) and the other receiving Russian current therapy in addition to standard dressing (intervention group). The study will be conducted over six months at a tertiary care hospital in Belagavi. Outcome measures will include wound healing assessed using the ImitoWound app, plantar pressure using the Diabetic Foot Analyzer, and quality of life using the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale (DFS-SF). The study hypothesizes that Russian current, through improved local circulation and muscle activation, will accelerate healing and functional recovery compared to standard care alone.
