Clinical Efficacy of Phototherapy on Pruritis with Dermatopathic Patients
Background: A frequent skin condition associated with diabetes called diabetic dermopathy may also be associated with neuropathy. The neurological and dermatologic systems are often linked in the pathophysiology of diabetic itch. Objective: This research evaluated the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and polarized light therapy (PLT) in treating diabetes patients' pruritus and dermopathy. Subjects and Methods: This study included forty patients. They were split randomly into two groups with an equal number of people; Group (A): Received low level laser therapy along with medical care (Using antibiotic creams for all patients) for eight weeks; three sessions per week. While, Group (B): Received polarized light along with medical care (Using antibiotic creams for all patients) for eight weeks; three sessions per week. Before and following the treatment, pruritus was measured. Results: This study found no significant differences of low level laser therapy and polarized light therapy in their favourable effects on diabetic dermopathy and itching (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Both low-level laser therapy and polarised light therapy are secure approaches that effectively treat pruritus and dermopathy.
