Laser Therapy for At-Home Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers - Canada

Sponsor: Scarborough Rouge Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The global prevalence of diabetes is on the rise and with it increase in prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). These recalcitrant wounds are difficult to manage and pose a heavy economic burden. Photobiomodulation (low level laser) is used for acceleration of wound healing. The current study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of B-cure laser, a home-use low-level laser device, for acceleration of diabetic foot ulcer healing over standard treatment.

Official title: Effectiveness and Safety of a Home-Use Low Level Laser Therapy Device As an Adjunct to Standard Treatment Compared to Standard Treatment Alone, for Diabetic Foot Ulcers: a Double Blind, Randomized, Sham-Controlled Clinical Study

Interventions

DEVICE

B-Cure Laser Pro

The B-Cure Laser Pro is a portal, non-invasive low-level laser therapy device, that emits light in the near infrared (808nm) over an area of 1X4.5 cm2 with power output of 250mW, and energy dose of 5J/min

DEVICE

Sham laser

The sham laser device is externally identical to the B-Cure Laser Pro and emit the same guiding light, but does not emit the therapeutic near infrared rays
