      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The randomization is on the web (www.sealedenvelope.com) and is of block type. This feature helps the researcher to ensure that the number of samples allocated to each of the study groups is equal in cases where intermediate analyzes are needed during the sampling process. A three-group clinical trial of 3 blocks including 10 participants in the intervention group (common treatment with dry needling), 10 participants in the placebo group (common treatment with placebo needling) and 10 participants in the common treatment group (control blood sugar, infection control, proper debridement, new wound dressing), Blinding description: Qualified patients for the study, physiotherapists and wound experts who take the specific tests from the patients at the beginning of the treatment, in the middle and at the end of the treatment do not know whether the patients are placed in the placebo or dry needling group.</study_design>
