Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic debilitating condition affecting people worldwide and diabetic foot ulcers are also a common
problem. The treatment of diabetic ulcers requires a multimodal approach. Adjuvant low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may be
useful in lesions with protracted healing course but the evidence is still limited. In this study, we share our experience regarding
the use of low-level laser therapy as an adjuvant treatment modality in a patient with diabetic foot ulcer.
