Filter by:This is an initial dose escalation safety and exploratory efficacy study to treat two groups of subjects with critically sized diabetic wounds and diabetic neuropathy using placental-derived stem cells (PDSC) transplanted by injection into soft tissues of the lower limb. Its primary objective is safety assessment and its secondary objective is determining optimum PDSC safe dose. Group 1 will receive implantation of cells in the ulcer, in the ulcer bed, and along the distal arterial vessels that supply blood to the foot. Group 2 will follow the same protocol for the foot but will have an additional dose of cells implanted in the anterior and posterior compartments of the same leg to determine the impact on peripheral neuropathy. Dose escalation and safety will be documented. Exploratory measures of efficacy include: ulcer healing, hemodynamic and anatomical effects on the arteries of the foot, and changes in the sensory perceptions of the foot.
The aim of this observational study is to investigate the effects of the type, area and duration of ulceration on jaw pain, mandibular function limitation, TMD and swallowing in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers.The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the change in foot structure due to diabetic foot ulcer have an effect on the temporomandibular jointand swalloving? - What are the determinants of tempomandibular dysfunction in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers? Participants (both groups) will be evaluated for quality of life, jaw functionality, mandibular dysfunction, oropharyngeal swallowing disorder, pain and diabetes complications.
The goal of this clinical pilot is to collect patient outcome data on a commercially available, keratin-based skin substitute matrix: ProgenaMatrix®. In this trial, two groups of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) will be randomized to receive treatment with ProgenaMatrix applied either weekly or bi-weekly to the target wound. Researchers will compare how weekly or bi-weekly application of ProgenaMatrix affects the healing of DFUs. The primary questions to be answered are: 1. How many patients achieve wound closure in 12 weeks with ProgenaMatrix treatment? And 2. What is the change in wound area during the trial in each group?
A randomised controlled investigation comparing the clinical performance and cost effectiveness of Biatain® Silicone with Standard of Care dressing including filler in chronic wounds (CP351 - BISIL Study) This study (BISIL) will compare the Biatain® Silicone dressing to commonly used wound care products (AQUACEL®EXTRATM Hydrofiber® Dressing used with Mepilex® Border). The study will recruit in total 100 adult subjects with a venous leg ulcer or a diabetic foot ulcer no deeper than 2cm. Only ulcers with a duration of at least 8 weeks but no longer than a year will be included. The study will be a randomised controlled trial where half of the participants will use Biatain® Silicone and half will use the comparator for 4 weeks. Each participant will be in the study for 4-5 weeks during which there will be a weekly visit with the study team to complete the study assessments and change the dressing. The study will run for approximately one year, starting in January 2023.
The aim of this clinical investigation is to collect skin lesion area data for the comparison of the agreement among the results obtained between the following three wound area measurement methods: - Ruler using the Kundin method, - Investigational software Clinicgram Euclides - Digital planimetry with Adobe Photoshop The clinical data retrieved in this study will allow the clinical validation of the safety and safety of the investigation software Clinicgram Euclides.
We propose a randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy of: 1. Platelet-lysate loaded sustained release thermo-gelling formulation (Platelets-SR) 2. EPO/ISDN/UFH cryogel dressing (Trigel) As adjuncts to standard-of-care (SOC) in the treatment of chronic DFUs compared to SOC alone for patients attending the DFU outpatient clinic at the Gastroenterology Centre, Mansoura University.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact that the NanoSALV wound dressing can have on managing severe chronic wounds and feasibility for patients, providers, and health systems in different health care settings (community care, continuing care and in-patient care). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the cost-savings of using NanoSALV? 2. Do care providers perceive NanoSALV to be better, worse or the same as the standard of care in terms of usability and efficiency? 3. Does NanoSALV increase autonomy and competence of wound self-management for care providers/patients? 4. Were patients more satisfied, less satisfied or just as satisfied with NanoSALV compared to the standard of Care? 5. Does NanoSALV reduce healing time for chronic wounds compared to standard of care? The sequence and duration of the trial is as follows: - Required data will be collected at enrollment to provide a baseline (Day 0) measure. - The patient will receive standard of care treatment for four weeks with dressing changes as per the standard care pathway. - In the following four weeks the patient will receive the NanoSALV dressing treatment and dressing changes done every 48 - 72 hours as required. - Wound assessments will be done weekly with wound images captured by Aranz Medical's Silhouette Star 3D medical camera that digitally takes measurements. - A patient satisfaction survey will be collected post-control and post-intervention periods - One week after completing the study the patient/surrogate will be contacted or a survey link will be sent to them regarding adverse events and to see what wound dressing they continued to use. Semi-structured interviews and observations will be done with care providers/patients and healthcare professionals in the control period to explore the perspectives on the current state of chronic wound management, and in the intervention period to evaluate the perceptions on the usability of the intervention.
Diabetes affects 463 million population of the world. Diabetic foot is one of the complications of uncontrolled diabetes which can lead to amputation in 5- 24% of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Every 30 seconds a lower extremity is amputated in the world due to diabetes. This is a retrospective study conducted in Balochistan, Pakistan. In this study investigators explored the risk factor of amputation in diabetic patients. Baseline characteristics, clinical profile, and lab tests were retrieved retrospectively and presented in the forms of tables. Investigators compared the categorical variables in amputees vs non-amputees and analyzed associated risk factors of amputation.
Exercise studies with patients with diabetic foot ulcers are very few. In this disease group, since it is considered dangerous to put a load on the foot, a barrier has been placed between the patients and the exercise. With the study investigators plan to do, investigators will try to exercise in these patients in a controlled manner. Among the patients divided into 3 groups, the 1st group will apply the control group, the 2nd group will perform aerobic exercise, and the 3rd group will apply the exercises investigators have determined as the protocol group. 12 weeks, 2 sessions a week will be exercised with the help of a physiotherapist. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, at the end of week 4, at the end of week 8, and at the end.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are challenging to treat with complicated healing processes and require advanced wound care. Piscean collagen has the potential to promote the regenerative process while remaining cost-effective and with minimal side effects. In this study, the efficacy of a piscean collagen matrix dressing was compared with a standard dressing of saline-moistened gauze for wound healing in patients with neuropathic DFU. This is a double-blinded, randomised clinical trial.
