A meta‐analysis examination was implemented to review diabetic foot wound ulcer (DFWU) management by laser therapy (LT). A broad literature examination until May 2023 was done and 1357 interconnected examinations were revised. The 26 elected examinations, enclosed 1067 personals with DFWU were in the utilized examinations ‘starting point, 540 of them were utilizing LT, and 527 were utilizing control. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilized to appraise the DFWUs management by LT by the dichotomous and continuous approach and a fixed or random model. LT had significantly higher ulcer size decreases (MD, 17.04; 95% CI, 12.48–21.59, p < 0.001) with high heterogeneity (I2 = 99%), and complete healing rate (OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.89–4.37, p < 0.001) with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0%) compared with control in personals with DFWU. LT had significantly higher ulcer size decreases, and complete healing rate compared to control in personals with DFWU. Nevertheless, exercise caution while interacting with its values since all the chosen examinations were found with a low sample size for the comparisons in the meta‐analysis.

“…The polarization allows it to work on flat surfaces and enhances light penetration. The molecular mechanism of action of VL is not well documented; however, some studies showing improvement in treated CW have been published [80,81]. PVL seems a promising possible treatment for WH but needs to be more deeply studied [82].…”

Wound healing (WH) is a complex multistep process in which a failure could lead to a chronic wound (CW). CW is a major health problem and includes leg venous ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure ulcers. CW is difficult to treat and affects vulnerable and pluripathological patients. On the other hand, excessive scarring leads to keloids and hypertrophic scars causing disfiguration and sometimes itchiness and pain. Treatment of WH includes the cleaning and careful handling of injured tissue, early treatment and prevention of infection, and promotion of healing. Treatment of underlying conditions and the use of special dressings promote healing. The patient at risk and risk areas should avoid injury as much as possible. This review aims to summarize the role of physical therapies as complementary treatments in WH and scarring. The article proposes a translational view, opening the opportunity to develop these therapies in an optimal way in clinical management, as many of them are emerging. The role of laser, photobiomodulation, photodynamic therapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, and others are highlighted in a practical and comprehensive approach.

Diabetic foot is one of the most severe complications of diabetes. It is caused by high blood sugar, resulting in combined neuropathy and various degrees of peripheral vascular disease, leading to local microcirculation disorders. This condition can trigger infections, ulcers, and deep tissue damage in the lower limbs. In severe cases, gangrene may occur, leading to amputation. Therefore, timely microcirculation monitoring of the feet in diabetic patients can help detect early blood supply issues. Prompt and effective intervention and treatment for diabetic patients with microcirculation disorders in the feet can prevent the occurrence and development of diabetic foot. Physical factor therapy utilizes various forms of physical energy to induce reactions in the body, such as dilating blood vessels, increasing blood flow, and promoting tissue blood supply. Simultaneously, it stimulates nerves and muscles, aiding in improving nerve conduction and promoting nerve regeneration. This helps prevent and improve microcirculation disorders in diabetic feet. This article outlines the microcirculation disorders in diabetic feet, along with monitoring and treatment methods. It focuses on the principles and efficacy of common physical factor methods for microcirculation intervention, as well as research advancements in their clinical application for diabetic foot. This information serves as a reference for the treatment and adjunctive research of diabetic foot.
