Can self-monitoring of foot temperature help prevent recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers?

摘要

This was a 15-month, multicenter, physician-blinded, randomized study of patients aged 18-80 years with a previous history of diabetic foot ulcers. Patients with foot infection, open ulcers or amputation sites, active osteoarthropathy or severe vascular disease were excluded. Participants were randomly allocated to one of three treatment groups.
