Abstract
Diabetics’ foot ulcers are one of the main complications developed by individuals with diabetes, being responsible for a high morbimortality rate. Among the proposed therapies, low intensity laser therapy and the application of sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus) appears as an alternative for diabetic foot ulcers. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low intensity laser therapy and Helianthus annuus oil, in isolation and in combination, without repair of ulcers in the diabetic foot. Methods: Sample was 32 diabetic patients with ulcers, randomly divided into 4 equal groups: Group C: Control. AGE Group: Helianthus annuus oil, LILT Group: Low intensity laser therapy, LILT + AGE Group. The components of Group C were instructed to clean and AGE applied 5 ml of oil to the ulcers for 30 days. For the LILT and LILT + AGE groups, the treatment protocol was completed. All the research participants were submitted to, before and after the application of the therapeutic protocols proposed, ulcer macroscopic evaluations, colored Doppler ultrasound, Ankle-Brachial Index and to the Brief Pain Inventory. Results: The research showed a statistically significant difference among the groups (p< 0.05), it was observed that Group C presented an increase in the whole injury area; Group AGE presented a stabilization in the whole ulcer area, however without any case with a complete repair percentage; Groups LLLT and LLLT+AGE showed a clear reduction in the ulcer area as well as significant relief of pain (p< 0.05), and consequently improved quality of life. Conclusion: The LLLT strengthens the acceleration of the tissue repair process in diabetics’ foot, besides presenting an important analgesic action in the patients studied and that the association of LLLT to the Helianthus annuus oil presents itself as an important therapeutic strategy.
