Abstract

The intricacies surrounding the treatment of diabetic foot injuries are further complicated by the presence of vascular conditions such as Buerger’s Disease. This study attempts to bridge the gap in existing literature by exploring the effectiveness of medicinal leech therapy in enhancing wound healing in patients suffering from complications associated with this disease. The study analyzed data from patients exhibiting diabetic foot ulcers, alongside coexisting Buerger’s Disease, who underwent treatment with medicinal leeches. A total of 100 cases were documented, where healing rates were assessed utilizing objective measurement techniques before and after therapy. Preliminary findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in wound healing metrics, such as reduced ulcer size and shorter healing times when compared to conventional treatment methods alone. These findings underscore the potential of introducing leech therapy as a non-invasive adjunct to standard care protocols for improving outcomes in this challenging cohort. Originality values are accentuated through the novel application of leech therapy in a specific subset of patients, traditionally sidelined in discussions of wound healing therapies, thus contributing meaningfully to both clinical practice and research domains.
