What Researchers Did
The researchers reported on a case of a patient with a diabetic foot ulcer that was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
They found that a patient with a neuro-ischaemic diabetic foot ulcer, which had previously resisted multiple courses of antibiotics and specialist foot clinic care, experienced complete resolution. This resolution occurred after a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, significantly improving his mobility.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it is a single case report from an unspecified location outside of Canada.
Study Limitations
The primary limitation of this study is that it is a single case report, meaning its findings cannot be generalized to a broader patient population.
