No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a prospective study of participants with diabetic foot ulcers who will receive either maggot debridement therapy (MDT) or conventional dressing therapy (CDT). Wound healing time is the main outcome measure to compare the clinical efficacy of these two therapies. The investigators developed a hypothesis that MDT could achieve remarkable shorter time and better healing rate for wound closure when compared with CDT.
