مستخلص: Four patients with diabetic foot ulcers that failed to heal after one month of treatment underwent anodyne therapy. Each therapy session lasted half an hour and was conducted 3 times a week for patients at home or daily for patients in hospital, for one to 2 months. The wound sizes and depths were graded according to the Wagner classification. Pictures were taken to evaluate the effects of anodyne therapy. All 4 patients had good healing of their foot ulcers. Anodyne therapy augments the effects of conservative treatment. Proper wound care and appropriate antibiotic coverage remain the basis of treatment.
