    This study is going to be carried out at the Endocrinology clinics of Imam Khomeini affiliated with the Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Patients will be divided into two groups of 25 subjects. Each patient will receive topical gel of melatonin or placebo for 8 weeks. During the study, patients will receive standard care and treatment regimens for diabetic foot in both groups. The area and number of wounds are measured before the start of treatment and after 4 weeks and then at the end of 2 months. Researcher and patients will be blinded.

    According to the sample size based on the number of wounds and determination of 50 wounds at the time of registration of the proposal in UMSU, each patient has one wound, 25 people in each group were determined, but currently the number of studied wounds is 50, but the number of patients currently is 26. (Some patients have the same wound in different parts of their legs) need permission to reduce the sample size to 36 people with assuming a drop out 20%.

    با توجه به محاسبه حجم نمونه از روی تعداد زخم و تعیین 50 زخم در زمان ثبت پروپوزال در UMSU با فرض هر بیمار یک زخم 25 نفر در هر گروه تعیین شد ولی در حال حاضر تعداد زخم های مطالعه 50 عدد شده است، اما تعداد بیماران در حال حاضر 26 نفر می باشد. ( برخی بیماران بیش از یک زخم در نقاط مختلف پاهای خود دارند) لذا در خواست میشود اجازه بفرمایید حجم نمونه افراد به 36 نفر با فرض ریزش 20% کاهش یابد.
    Block randomization will be used in this study. The size of all blocks is equal and 5 blocks of 10 including 25 patients in the intervention group and 25 patients in the control group will be used. To determine the random sequence of drug and placebo allocation within each block, the site https://studyrandomizer.com/ is used and the sequences (sequence within block) are received in the form of an Excel file from the site. The output file will be assigned to each person a four-part code consisting of a letter and three digits separated by commas. In order to conceal random allocation, the method of opaque sealed envelopes with random sequence will be used. Fifty envelopes with aluminum wrappers (in order to obscure the contents of the envelopes) will be prepared and each of the random sequences created on one card will be recorded and the cards will be placed in the envelopes respectively. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes will be numbered in the same way on the outer surface.
