Considering the antioxidant properties of the Launaea acanthodes, this study aimed to examine the effects of this plant on open skin wound healing in diabetic rats. Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 32 male rats were allocated into the equal groups of control, diabetic control and experimental diabetic 1 and 2. The diabetes in diabetic control and experimental diabetic groups was induced using an intraperitoneal injection of alloxan. In all samples, 4 wound with 7mm diameters were created in two lateral posterial parts of body. Then experimental diabetic groups 1 and 2 treated with 10 and 20% of Launaea acanthodes ointment and control and diabetic control groups treated with eucerin for 12 days. Histological studies were performed on each of the days 3, 6, 9 and 12. Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and post-hoc Tukey tests in SPSS 20 software. Findings: The highest and lowest density of inflammatory cells in control group are 3th and 12th day, diabetic control 9th and 3th day, experimental diabetic 1 and 2 6th and 12th day. The highest and lowest thickness of the epithelium in control group are 6th and 12th day, diabetic control 12th and 3th day, experimental 1 9th and 12th day and experimental 2 6th and 12th day. The highest and lowest density of blood vessels in control group are 6th and 12th day, diabetic control 12th and 3th day, experimental 1 6th and 3th day and experimental 2 6th and 12th day. Conclusion: Topical treatment of aqueous extract of Launaea acanthodes accelerates the healing of diabetic ulcers.
