Summary:Chronic ulcers especially diabetic lower extremity ulcers are considered to be a significant problem affecting life quality for both patients as well as the health care system. Any break in the progression of the body's surface that requires a drawn out time to mend due to the poor blood supply and lacking oxygenation of the injury is similarly seen as a ceaseless injury. The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) on the improvement of the mending of the chronic diabetic foot ulcers contrary to traditional methods and medical regimes work which gained poor progression. In our examination the clinical preliminaries have been carried out upon a gathering of (27 patients) during the time of around ten months coming about a critical contrast of wound size and volume closing in conclusive that HBOT sessions for diabetic foot ulcer revealed a high impact in patient treatments. Moreover, improving healing rate with significant reduction of wound surface area and ulcer volume consequently, decreasing patient suffering.
