Gas treatment tested to heal stubborn diabetic wounds

NCT ID NCT04561609

Summary

This study tested whether applying carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to the skin helps heal chronic foot ulcers in people with diabetes. 120 participants with non-healing diabetic foot ulcers received standard wound care, and 80 of them also received 20 sessions of the CO2 gas treatment over 4 weeks. Researchers compared how many wounds healed completely and measured changes in wound size and quality between the two groups.
