dc.description.abstractDiabetic foot ulcers, a prevalent global health issue, often necessitate hospitalization due to prolonged healing times and complications. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) with Standard Moist Wound Therapy (SMWT) in treating diabetic foot ulcers. Conducted over two years at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, the study enrolled 40 patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers. The NPWT group, receiving continuous sub-atmospheric pressure via a vacuum pump, demonstrated superior outcomes compared to the SMWT group. Specifically, the NPWT group achieved 97.25% granulation tissue formation within three weeks, compared to 83% in the SMWT group, and had a significantly reduced hospital stay duration (mean 12.6 days vs. 38.3 days). Additionally, NPWT led to better glycaemic control and improved renal function. These results suggest that NPWT enhances wound healing, reduces hospital stay, and is a cost- effective alternative to traditional wound management. The study supports the use of NPWT as a recommended treatment for diabetic foot ulcers in hospital settings.en_US
