Improving Chronic Wound Healing with LED Phototherapy
The healthcare industry faces significant obstacles when it comes to managing chronic wounds, especially in diabetic patients. These wounds often do not respond well to standard treatment methods, which has led researchers to explore alternative approaches. One such method is phototherapy, which utilizes low-level light therapy (LLLT) to address this challenging problem. A recent study conducted at the University Medical Center Ljubljana focused on investigating the effectiveness of using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in phototherapy to treat chronic wounds in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. This research aims to find innovative solutions for improving the outcomes of wound treatment and ultimately enhancing healthcare for those affected.
