Description	Background: Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) is a serious complication of diabetes and can often lead to amputation. Several therapeutic methods exist, among the more novel ones being the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), which might be effective and relatively safe, and is being widely used. Objective: The objective of this umbrella review will be to investigate the effectiveness of NPWT in neuropathic DFU. Inclusion criteria: Population - the patients of all ages with diabetes suffering from chronic neuropathic non-healing wounds in the foot will be included. Intervention - negative Pressure Wound Therapy. Comparison - standard therapy (any standard care). Outcomes - standardized measures of the effectiveness of the intervention for wound healing. Only systematic reviews will be included. Methods: We will follow the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute for umbrella reviews. We will search ten databases by Epistemonikos platform to identify any relevant systematic reviews. No language or geographical limit will be applied. Two independent reviewers will carry out screening, critical appraisal, and data extraction. Results will be presented in a tabular and narrative form, and meta-analysis will be performed. The certainty of evidence will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
