Acupuncture needles may speed up diabetic wound healing

This study tests whether adding electroacupuncture at a specific point on the leg (Zusanli, ST-36) to standard diabetes care can improve healing of foot ulcers. About 76 adults with diabetic foot ulcers will either get standard treatment alone or standard treatment plus daily electroacupuncture for four weeks. Researchers will measure wound healing and blood flow to see if the acupuncture helps.
