This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 380 early diabetic patients with arteriosclerotic wounds in the lower limbs. The treatment group received standard wound care plus electroacupuncture (EA), while the control group received standard wound care alone. The results showed that the treatment group had a significantly greater reduction in wound size, reduced pain scores, and higher quality of life (QoL) scores compared to the control group (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in recovery time between the two groups (p > 0.05). The study suggests that EA may be an effective adjunctive treatment for early diabetic patients with lower limb arteriosclerotic lesions, promoting pain relief and quality of life. Further investigation is needed to validate these results and understand the underlying mechanisms of action.
