Development of diabetic foot ulcer can be considered as the most apprehensive complication, exhausting both patients and the health care system. Due to treatment high failure rate, different modalities of treatment have been developed. Recently, low-level-laser-therapy (LLLT) was investigated on cell culture and on few clinical trials, utilizing infrared/near-infrared machines. The clinical and histological benefit of KTP-532nm LLLT on ulcers and the tissue expression of TGF-β before/after LLLT investigated in this study including eleven patients with empirical LLLT. Tissue samples were submitted for histopathological assessment from four patients before and after LLLT. Immunohistochemical expression of TGF-β was evaluated, using Wilcoxon-Signed statistical test.
All patients responded dramatically, 3 (27.27%) completely healed, 7 (63.36%) were poorly compliant despite their obvious response. One-patient (9.09%) ended with toe amputation because of underlying osteomyelitis. All histological sections showed dramatic increase of fibroblast TGF-β after receiving LLLT.
KTP-53nm LLLT enhances ulcer healing and TGF-β expression.
