Resposta inflamatória durante tratamento do pé diabético: fotobiomodulação versus convencional

Abstract

The inflammatory response plays an important role in the treatment of diabetic foot (PD) infection, because the greater the systemic repercussion, the less conservative the treatment, and the greater the need for amputation. The beneficial effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on the local inflammatory process and the wound healing process are known today, but its systemic effect remains controversial. Therefore, the objective was to compare the inflammatory response of patients during the treatment of PD with and without the use of FBM, through the biochemical measurements in the blood of C reactive protein (CRP), Glycemia, Urea and Creatinine, and data from Hemogram (Leukogram, Hematocrit, Hemoglobin and Platelets). A single-center and observational clinical study was carried out, with a review of medical records, composed of a group of 5 participants attended at the Mandaqui Hospital Complex. Medical records were reviewed when patients were conventionally treated, with FBM onset 30 and 90 days later. Despite the differences found in the cases studied, it was possible to conclude that the FBM, in the model performed, did not present statistical significance between the times for any of the evaluated variables.
