Summary:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in the treatment of diabetic patients with refractory wound. Refractory wound is one of the most challenging clinical complications of diabetes mellitus. Studies have shown that PBMT can promote wound healing in many ways. We reported a 55-year-old male patient with refractory diabetic wound after secretory carcinoma of the parotid gland surgery responding to 810 nm laser. After PBMT, the refractory diabetic wound healed gradually without adverse events. During follow-up 5-years, the healed wound remained stable and showed no signs of recurrence. PBMT can be potentially considered as a therapeutic method in diabetic patients with refractory diabetic wound.
