Pre test and post test was conducted in both groups. Citric acid dressing was provided to experimental group for I week. The post test mean and SD of experimental group was 15.40±3.12 with ‘t’ value of 5.493 which was significant at p<0.001 level. It was proven that the citric acid dressing is effective for diabetic foot ulcer patients.
