Silicone Sock as Treatment of Deep Heel Fissures in People With Diabetes

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the addition of using a sock of silicone to using a heel cream, in the treatment of heel fissures in people with diabetes, aiming at healing the fissures and preventing them from developing into ulcers. Half of the participants will use the silicone sock and a heel cream, the other half will use the cream only.

Clinical Trial Description

Dry skin and heel fissures are common complications of diabetes and can develop into hard-to-heal ulcers that eventually can make amputation of the foot necessary.

Patients are advised to use heel creams to heal fissures and prevent them from developing into ulcers. Clinical observations have suggested that wearing a silicone sock nighttime can heal fissures, but the additional advantage of using a silicone sock compared to use a heel cream only has not been investigated.

Participants will be randomized to an intervention group (silicone sock and heel cream) or a control group (heel cream only) and the healing of fissures and development of new ulcers will be compared between the groups. ;
