Introduction:
ozone therapy is a therapy composed of ozone. This gas is in the atmosphere with various general effects: direct disinfectant and trophic effects and a systemic antibacterial and antiviral effect. This gas also improves blood circulation, makes glucose metabolism more effective, improves erythrocyte metabolism, and improves fatty acid metabolism.
Objective:
Provide evidence of the effectiveness of ozone therapy in wounds of patients with diabetic foot. Analyze the effectiveness of ozone therapy compared to other treatments to achieve good wound healing in patients with diabetic foot. To study the benefits of the use of ozone therapy in ulcers of patients. Analyze the management of ozone therapy and other treatments to achieve healing of ulcers in patients.
Methodology:
A bibliographic review focused on articles published between November 2014 and June 2023 was carried out. The following databases were consulted: Pubmed (Medline), Dialnet, Google Scholar, Web of Science (WOS), Scielo, and Scopus.
Results:
After applying the article selection criteria and evaluating the quality of the methodology, a total of 17 articles were obtained. The results affirm ozone therapy as promising for the treatment of wounds in patients with diabetic foot.
Conclusions:
the evidence has been able to determine that ozone therapy is adequate for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. In addition, the therapy has been shown to be effective, safe, and beneficial, with few adverse effects for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
