Objective To explore the role of negative pressure wound treatment and meticulous care for diabetic foot ulcers. Methods Randomly and equally divided the patients with diabetic foot ulcers admitted to our hospital from June 2023 to July 2025 (N=80). The experimental group received negative pressure wound treatment and meticulous care, while the control group underwent routine dressing changes and routine care. Compare indicators such as wound healing time. Results Regarding wound healing time and dressing change frequency: In the experimental group, it was (26.71±5.03) days and (5.72±0.43) times, while in the control group, it was (35.84±7.29) days and (9.51±1.17) times. The differences were significant (P < 0.05). Total effective rate: 97.5% in the experimental group and 82.5% in the control group, P < 0.05. NRS score: After the intervention, the score of the experimental group was (1.52±0.27) points and that of the control group was (2.91±0.46) points, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion The rehabilitation status, therapeutic effect and pain perception of patients with diabetic foot ulcers have been significantly improved by negative pressure wound treatment and meticulous care.
