Electromagnetic therapy and foot insole for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether electromagnetic field therapy plus a custom foot insole can improve blood flow in your feet and help with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help heal ulcers by improving circulation.
