Brief Summary  
Diabetic foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes. The healing of
diabetic foot ulcers depends on multiple factors such as glycemic control,
vascularity, bacterial load, location of the wound, nutritional status of the
patient, etc. The standard wound care of diabetic foot ulcer relies primarily
on pressure relief, debridement and maintenance of a moist wound
environment. Phenytoin’s wound healing promoting effect has been
attributed to many mechanisms including increasing fibroblast proliferation,
inhibiting collagenase activity, promoting collagen deposition, enhancing
granulation tissue formation, decreasing bacterial contamination, reducing
wound exudates formation and up-regulating growth factor receptors.
Biopsies of phenytoin treated wounds show neovascularization,
collagenization and decreased polymorphonuclear and eosinophil cell
infiltration. Topical phenytoin can enhance wound healing in diabetic foot
ulcers but further research is required to establish the role of phenytoin as
healing agent. The present study is a proof-of-concept study being
conducted on a pilot basis to assess the efficacy of topical phenytoin
dressing as compared to conventional wound dressing with normal saline
in the healing process of diabetic ulcers, and to determine its efficacy in
the management of diabetic ulcers
