Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Standard Wound Care of trophic ulcer  Standard wound care includes debridement of ulcer, if necessary, then cleaning of the ulcer with Povidone Iodine solution and Normal Saline solution and then application of Mupirocin ointment then dressing with sterile cotton gauze pad for treatment of trophic ulcer in patients of leprosy. This will be done once daily and for a maximum of 8 weeks or till the ulcer heals completely whichever is earlier. 
Intervention  Topical Insulin on trophic ulcer  Application of topical Insulin solution over ulcer along with standard wound care will be done in patients of leprosy as mentioned in the comparator group. This will be done once daily and for a maximum of 8 weeks or till the ulcer heals completely whichever is earlier. 
Intervention  Topical Phenytoin on trophic ulcer  Application of topical Phenytoin paste over ulcer along with standard wound care will be done in patients of leprosy as mentioned in the comparator group. This will be done once daily and for a maximum of 8 weeks or till the ulcer heals completely whichever is earlier.
