Low-extremity ischemic disease is a common complication in diabetic patients, leading to reduced quality of life and potential amputation. This study investigated the therapeutic effect of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on patients with diabetic foot disease and a rat model of diabetic foot injury. SCS was applied to patients with diabetic foot disease, with clinical assessments performed before and after therapy. Blood levels of NGF, BDNF, and NT-3 were determined by ELISA. A rat model of diabetic foot injury was established to validate NT-3's role in SCS therapy. SCS therapy improved the condition of patients with diabetic ischemic foot disease and promoted wound healing in the rat model. NT-3 levels significantly increased after SCS therapy in both patients and rats. Recombinant NT-3 administration improved wound healing and re-vascularization in the rat model, while NT-3 neutralization abrogated SCS's therapeutic effect. SCS improves the condition of patients with diabetic ischemic foot disease by inducing NT-3 production. Both SCS and NT-3 supplementation show therapeutic potential for ameliorating diabetic foot disease.
