Study design
randomized controlled trial
Wound-care research
Tested material
Study-specific medical-grade honey, dressing, eye-care or oral preparation described by the publication; not The 3 Beez retail food product.
Limitations
The sample was small, follow-up lasted only four weeks, complete closure was not the endpoint, assessor blinding was unclear, and all-patient completion warrants cautious interpretation.
Funding & conflicts
Not yet transcribed from the primary publication.
Applicability guardrail
This is a distinct diabetic-foot cohort from the authors' 2025 venous-ulcer trial but comes from the same research network, and its medical-grade product results should not be transferred to retail honey.
