Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Center and the Johns Hopkins Wound Healing Center, both located in Baltimore, Maryland, conducted a systematic review of 66 research papers focused on the treatment of skin ulcers, such as those related to diabetes, and have concluded that most are so technically flawed that their results are unreliable. Further, even for those that pass muster, there is only weak evidence that some treatments work better than standard compression therapy or special stockings, according to a Johns Hopkins Medicine, Baltimore, press release.
