Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in the size of diabetic foot ulcer. Timepoint: The beginning study, forth week. Method of measurement: Using a transparent foil over the wound and drawing the edges of the wound with a permanent marker, scan and analyze with ImageJ software.;Time required for 50% reduction in initial wound size. Timepoint: The beginning study, forth week. Method of measurement: By marking the edge of the wound on the transparent screen, scanning and analysis with special software.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The score of wound morphology indicators (amount of secretions, characteristics of wound secretions, presence of redness and/or edema in the wound around the skin, presence of granular tissue, or epithelization). Timepoint: At the beginning, at forth week. Method of measurement: Using the simplified Bates-Jensen wound assessment questionnaire, parts 7-13.;Changes in wound pain score. Timepoint: At the beginning, at forth week. Method of measurement: Using a visual analog scale.
