Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of autologous transplantation of bone-marrow cells for therapeutic angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in diabetic patients with non-revascularizable critical limb ischemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of monochromatic phototherapy (Biolight®) on foot ulcers in diabetic patients, in comparison of placebo phototherapy as a complementary to standard diabetic foot ulcer therapy. The study initiated with a four week long Run In Period to eliminate spontaneous healing ulcer to be included. Treatment with monochromatic phototherapy (Biolight® or placebo) will be given locally, additional to standard care, three times weekly during the first four weeks and twice weekly the following sixteen weeks or until the ulcer is completely healed, according to a pre-determined treatment plan. The area of the ulcer will be measured once weekly for 20 weeks or until the ulcer is completely healed.
The study is aimed at evaluating the clinician's perceived ease of using the V.A.C. GranuForm bride dressing and the patients perceived level of comfort during the dressing wear.
The purpose of this study is to determine if dressing change with a kind of herb Yuyang ointment is clinically more efficacious and safer than Conventional treatment in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
The objective of this study is to thoroughly examine the role of V.A.C. NPWT in the further salvage of the diabetic foot once it has undergone partial amputation. To determine this, measures of healing, quality of life, and utilization costs associated with this approach will be analyzed. KCI believes that information obtained from this study will show V.A.C. NPWT can support efforts involving limb salvage of the diabetic foot, helping an effective, cost-efficient healthcare solution.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the additional therapy with low dose urokinase is more effective than only a conventional standard therapy concerning ulcer-healing, rate of major amputation and survival.
Diabetic foot ulcers are sores on the feet that occur in 15% of diabetic patients some time during their lifetime. Once an ulcer develops, the risk of lower-extremity amputation is increased 8-fold in people with diabetes. New treatments that improve the number of ulcers that heal and/or speed up healing are urgently needed. Initial studies with a new drug called Nexagon® (developed by CoDa Therapeutics, Inc.) support the concept that healing of diabetic foot ulcers can be improved with topical application of Nexagon®. Further research will be undertaken to assess the safety and activity of Nexagon® when applied to diabetic foot ulcers at various doses. A proposed randomized controlled trial will randomly allocate (e.g., by the toss of a coin) 24 people with diabetic foot ulcers to Nexagon® (one of three different doses) or vehicle (substance containing no medication) to be applied to their ulcer three times over four weeks. Participants will be followed over four weeks to monitor their response to the treatment, specifically with regards to the amount of healing that occurs.
The purpose of this study is to assess if the experimental drug, DSC127, is safe, how well it can be tolerated, and how different doses effect the healing of the chronic foot ulcers in diabetic subjects.
Study to see if a laser can get rid of bacateria called MRSA in your diabetic ulcer
Diabetic foot ulcers are a challenge to health care professionals because there are only few effective topical therapeutic interventions. Growth factor treatment has shown to be beneficial for healing of diabetic foot ulcers in conjunction with extensive surgical debridement. Autologues platelet releasate which contains platelet derived growth factor appears to be more effective than standard therapy in case studies. This protocol will evaluate the healing effect of Vivostat PRF treatment of non-eschemic foot ulcers to identify responders and to enable sample size calculation for a subsequent pivotal trial.
