Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) are one of the more dangerous complications of diabetes, contributing to morbidity, mortality, and major financial strain, potentially affecting patients' quality of life. Therefore, an effective DFU treatment is needed to both heal and reduce severe consequences, such as amputation. Studies into effective multiple therapeutic interventions for DFUs indicate that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may be a current alternative for treating patients presenting with DFUs.
