    Journal: Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes; 2004 Oct; 112(9):542-4. PubMed ID: 15505764.
    Abstract:
    Three diabetic patients with leg or foot ulcers unresponsive to conventional therapies were treated with topical application of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). The results showed that NGF promotes healing after 5-14 weeks of treatment. This study suggests that the use of topical application of NGF may represent a new useful tool for the management of difficult diabetic ulcers.
