The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the dermaPACE Device to sham application, when administered in conjunction with standard treatments used in the treatment of DFUs.
the objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of vacuum-compression effects of Vasotrain on the diabetic foot ulcers using stereological method based on Cavalieri’s principle in diabetic patients.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) increases tissue oxygenation and serves as an adjunct therapy for diabetic wounds. However, some patients have insufficient increase or even paradoxical decrease in tissue O2 due to vasoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pathophysiology responsible for the different consequences of HBOT and to evaluate the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on these changes. Methods: Prospective, randomized, cross-over trial including fifty diabetic patients with non-healing ulcers. All patients had two HBOT (100%oxygen, 2ATA) with NAC at the first or the second evaluation. At the beginning and at the end of each evaluation, ulcer oxygenation and plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total anti-oxidant status (TAOS) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured. Patients with ulcer oxygenation above 200mmHg, were subjected to complete HBOT protocol.
Chronic foot ulcers are a common, severe and expensive complication in patients with diabetes and often causes lower-extremity amputation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of bemiparin as treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
To determine if topical negative pressure therapy delivered by the V.A.C.® device is clinically efficacious and cost effective in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of V.A.C.® Therapy to moist wound therapy of diabetic foot ulcers. The primary objective is to determine the effect of V.A.C.® Therapy on the incidence of complete wound closure.
Chronic foot ulcers occurring among diabetic patients are difficult to heal. The frequent elderly age with co-morbidities, vascular insufficiencies, peripheral neuropathies and super imposed infections, all contribute towards the chronicity and failure of treatment. Preserving the ulcerated limb is the patients' wish. On the other hand, an infected ulcer that never heals just unnecessarily prolongs suffering. Nevertheless, patients earnestly like to try all methods of healing before accepting amputation. Objective:To determine whether a course of herbal preparation used as an adjuvant therapy for diabetic patients suffering from chronic foot ulcers may promote healing so that major leg amputation can be avoided.
This is a Phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different doses of topically applied telbermin in subjects ≥ 18 years old with diabetic foot ulcers. Approximately 160 adult subjects with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus will be enrolled at approximately 40 investigational sites in the United States and Canada.
This is a clinical research study of an experimental topical drug for the treatment of chronic, neuropathic, diabetic foot ulcers. Patients participating in the study may receive an active drug (MRE0094), inactive drug (placebo), or a gel used to treat diabetic foot ulcers currently available for sale in the United States. What treatment a patient will receive is determined by chance (like drawing a number from a hat). All patients will receive additional care for diabetic foot ulcers during the study. Participation in the study can be up to 4½ months.
