Therapeutic effects of connective tissue manipulation on wound healing and bacterial colonization count among patients with diabetic foot ulcer
© 2016 Elsevier Ltd This study investigated the therapeutic effects of connective tissue manipulation (CTM) in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). A total of 20 participants (10 in CTM group and 10 in conventional treatment group (CG)) with DFU underwent the conventional DFU treatment. In addition, the CTM g...

A total of 20 participants (10 in CTM group and 10 in conventional treatment group (CG)) with DFU underwent the conventional DFU treatment. In addition, the CTM group received CTM twice per week for 6 weeks. The percentage wound area reduction (PWAR) and bacterial colonization count (BCC) in log10 colony-forming units (CFU) per ml wound fluid was evaluated at baseline and six weeks. Results showed a significant change in PWAR in CTM (p < 0.05, t = 3.82, Df = 9, CI L = 0.98 U = 3.81) and CG (p < 0.05, t = 2.97, Df = 9,CI L = 0.26 U = 1.98). Mean reduction of BCC showed a significant reduction (p < 0.05), with percentage of BCC reduction higher in CTM group (6.45%) than CG (3.55%). The findings suggest CTM as an effective adjunct therapy for DFU to enhance conventional treatments. 2018-09-05T03:03:01Z 2018-09-05T03:03:01Z 2016-07-01 Journal 15329283 13608592 2-s2.0-84959419925 10.1016/j.jbmt.2016.01.010 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=84959419925&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/55873 |
