Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The diabetic foot ulcers healing rate will be considered the primary outcome. After the functional assessment, the diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) will be located and the region will be measured with a paper ruler and photographed for later analysis using the ImageJ® program. They will be evaluated before treatment, after 5 and 10 weeks. The values obtained from the measurements will be compared within and between groups to identify the effect of the treatments. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints will be: blood glucose levels and lesion depth. The volunteers' blood glucose levels will be checked once a week throughout the treatment. The test will be carried out using an Accu-Check® Active glucometer and serum levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA) will be checked at the Clinical Analysis Laboratory of the Federal University of the Delta do Parnaíba-UFDPar. The data will be analyzed to see if there is a correlation with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) healing in the groups studied. The University of Texas Wound Classification System tool will be used to identify whether there has been a change in ulcer depth before treatment, after 5 and 10 weeks. | — |
