Filter by:There are multiple studies conducted in Pakistan that supports the topic of foot care knowledge among individual with type 2 diabetes but all are descriptive cross-sectional studies and investigators cannot develop cause effect relationship out of it. Secondly, there is a lack of documented research on the foot care knowledge shown by people with T2D residing in the slums of Karachi. In order to assess the knowledge intervention among the individual having T2D through qualified diabetes educators and pictorial educational pamphlet along with the standard care of treatment. Consequently, it may aid in the development of effective methods aimed at mitigating foot-related complications among this specific population. Individuals diagnosed with diabetes are required to engage in proactive and structured self-care activities by providing the foot care knowledge in order to effectively manage their condition and mitigate the risk of potential complications. The incorporation of health-deviation knowledge and activities into routine is crucial.
This study seeks to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) in the prevention of Diabetic foot (DF), in patients at moderate and high risk for its development, through a controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Individuals between 18 and 75 years old of both sexes, with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and moderate and high risk for DF will be randomized and allocated into 2 groups of 32 participants each. The PBM Group will use a boot with 1344 LEDs, 504 of which are 660 nm located on the sides of the boot (28.5 milliwatt, 10 J per LED); 504 850 nm also located on the sides of the boot (23 milliwatt, 8 J per LED); 168 of 660 nm located at the base of the boot (28.5 milliwatt, 10 J per LED); 168 of 850 nm also located at the base of the boot (23 milliwatt, 8 J per LED) once a day for 6 minutes, for 60 days and will receive therapeutic education. Participants will be evaluated at baseline, after 30 days (clinical examination) and after 60 days (clinical examination, Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) assessment, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) assessment, blood and urine tests, and quality of life).
Collect data on various wound treatments and their related wound healing process, in real life settings. Analyze the safety and efficacy of wound treatments, including: advanced biological/synthetic grafts and standard of wound care treatments.
A Phase 2a Multi-Center, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Topically Applied PEP-TISSEEL in Subjects with Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU)
Diabetic foot ulcer; It is a disease used to describe a series of lower extremity complications that may occur together with infection, ulceration or gangrene in individuals with diabetes and is coded as S91.3 and S91.8 in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Sharp debridement, one of the treatments for diabetic foot ulcers, is a short-term application performed with a sharp scalpel or scissors at the patient's bed or in outpatient clinic conditions. It should be performed by a skilled clinician with wound training. To our knowledge, no study has been found in the literature regarding the use of a stress ball as an intervention to prevent pain and anxiety during sharp debridement. In line with this information, this study will examine the effect of stress ball use on the pain and anxiety levels of patients with diabetic foot ulcers during wound debridement.
Foot ulcers and amputations are a common and feared complication for people with diabetes. People with a diabetic foot ulcer have a higher risk of dying within five years than people with diabetes without an ulcer. At least one in four people with a new diabetic foot ulcer will die within five years, largely due to cardiovascular causes. The reasons for this increased mortality involve decreased mobility. People with a recently healed diabetic foot ulcer are considered "in remission" as opposed to "cured" because the underlying medical problems which led to their ulcer are still present. Once in remission, the current standard of care is to slowly increase ambulation. The problem is that people rarely return to the recommended level of mobility. The ability to safely maintain mobility with aging is critical. This pilot study is a small clinical trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based exercise regimen. The investigators will also assess if this home-based exercise regimen can increase mobility and function without increasing diabetic foot ulcer recurrence by improving lower extremity strength, lower extremity tissue perfusion and glycemic control.
The objective of this observational study is to investigate and validate the utility of high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging technology for dynamic observation of the blood perfusion process at the site of ulcer wounds in real-time, focusing on patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). The primary research questions it seeks to address are as follows: - What are the dynamic characteristics of vascular dynamics at the site of ulcer wounds in patients with DFU under high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging? - Is High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (H-CEUS) technology feasible for effectively visualizing the microcirculation of ulcer wounds in patients with DFU? Participants will Undergo high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging for real-time observation of blood perfusion dynamics at the site of ulcer wounds. Researchers will compare ulcerated sites with normal sites to see whether the use of High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (H-CEUS) has any discernible impact on the visualization of microcirculation in ulcer wounds.
This multicenter study will collect data to determine closure time for diabetic ulcers when following protocol parameters and treatment with ProgenaMatrix™.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the accuracy of screening for diabetic peripheral neuropathy by comparing the Ipswich touch test with the 10-g monofilament test in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The main question it aims to answer is: How does the accuracy of the Ipswich Touch Test for identifying peripheral neuropathy compare to the traditional 10-g monofilament test? Participants underwent both the Ipswich touch test and the 10-g monofilament test.
The goal of this open-label, post-market clinical follow-up study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of HealiAid Collagen Wound Dressing in patients classified into different types of wounds: venous ulcers, bedsores, diabetic foot wounds and burn wounds. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The wound healing which was defined as the percentage of area change. 2. The duration of wound healing. 3. The granulation tissue growth of the wound. 4. The wound exudate. 5. Safety Indicators of which incidences after treatment. HealiAid will be applied to eligible subjects who will later be followed up for 12 weeks.
