Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary Objective The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a four week therapy regimen consisting of 20 CO2 therapies on the wound healing rate Wound size reduction and wound closure Change in DFU wound area from baseline to the end of treatment visit expressed as absolute and percentage reduction and corroborated by the proportion number of ulcers achieving complete wound closure within the assessment period Timepoint: 20 sessions at 4 week period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Microvascular improvement DSPN improvement decrease in neuropathic pain improvement of protective sensorics Quality of life improvement Pain Depression To determine the proportion of subjects 12 months after the completion of the 20th CO2 or placebo therapy session who have achieved A reduction in the rate of wound recurrence A decrease in the rate of amputation A reduction in hospitalization frequency A decreased requirement for antibiotic therapy Timepoint: 20 sessions at 4 week period
