Filter by:The goal of the clinical trial is to investigate adherence to, and effects of, the Bluedrop Monitoring System (BMS) in high-risk patients with at least one previous diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). The BMS is a remote thermovisual monitoring system, which allows the condition of the soles of the feet to be remotely monitored for thermal and visual signs of inflammation, both of which may signal the onset of certain conditions, such as diabetic foot ulcers. It is comprised of the Delta Foot Scanner (DFS) device and its accompanying Sentinel Review Interface (SRI) software. The Covid-19 pandemic has driven the need for remote patient care where possible. Although this is challenging for people with foot ulcers, prevention is the key. Remote thermovisual monitoring might help reduce recurrent foot ulcers and therefore the number of necessary hospital visits which always puts the patient at increased risk of Covid infection.
Comparison the mean healing time of wound after vacuum assisted closure(VAC) versus conventional dressing(CD) in diabetic foot ulcer(DFU) patients. DFUs are chronic wounds in diabetics resulting from ischemia, angiogenesis defects and impaired immunity. Different treatment modalities are available for treating DFUs. Amongst them VAC provides a new paradigm for diabetic wound dressing. Different studies concluded that DFUs treated with VAC are more likely to heal than CD. The average healing time varies greatly among different studies conducted. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare the mean healing time of wound after VAC and CD in DFU patients. Based on these results, the method with lesser healing time can be opted for our routine practice guidelines for DFU patient's management protocol.
The purpose of the following prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to compare synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata®, Acera Surgical, Inc.) with standard of care in treating diabetic foot ulcers in human subjects.
This study will be a multicenter, prospective, open label, one-arm study intended to assess the clinical performance and safety of EX-02 in debridement of lower leg ulcers: Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU) and Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU). In addition, the pharmacology effect of EX-02 will be assessed. Lower leg ulcer size between 2 cm2 and 80 cm2 (surface area).
This is a Phase I/IIa trial designed to evaluate topical bacteriophage therapy in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
The DAPSHealth system employs a predictive technology for prevention of diabetic foot ulcers, and in Real Time, identifies diabetic patients who experience lower extremity trauma and vascular obstruction utilizing the science of temperature trending.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a nitric oxide releasing solution, delivered as a footbath, to act as an antimicrobial treatment for participants presenting with a diabetic foot ulcer.
The primary objective of this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) investigation is to confirm the safety and performance of Avance®Solo and Avance®Solo Adapt NPWT Systems in low to moderate exuding chronic wounds when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use, for up to 28 days.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most serious complications of diabetes and can lead to amputations in 85% of cases, resulting in physical, psychological, family, social and economic consequences. Research suggests that psychological factors may play an important role in DFU healing. Relaxation and hypnosis seem to contribute to faster wound healing. More research is needed to assess the effectiveness of different types of intervention on different types of wounds, in particular chronic wounds such as DFU. This study will evaluate the efficacy of relaxation and hypnosis, both with guided imagery, in DFU healing, physiological indicators (inflammatory, metabolic, oxidative stress, angiogenic, and miRNA biomarkers) of wound healing prognosis, and QoL, in patients with diabetic foot and a chronic ulcer. This study is a Randomized Controlled Study of a Psychological Intervention that aims to evaluate the efficiency of a muscle relaxation intervention with guided imagery (experimental group - EG1) compare to a hypnosis intervention with guided imagery (experimental group - EG2) and a neutral guided imagery placebo (active control group - ACG) and a group that does not receive any psychological intervention (passive control group - PCG). This study will also examine, qualitatively, the perspectives of patients with DFU on the relaxation and hypnosis interventions, in order to check its effectiveness; as well as the perspectives of informal caregivers on this adjuvant therapys. Participants must have a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Foot; one or two chronic active ulcers at the time of assessment; and clinical levels of stress or anxiety or depression. Participants will be randomized by the four conditions - EG1, EG2, ACG and PCG - and assessed on the day of the first consultation or nursing treatment for chronic DFU (T0), two months later (T1), and six months later (T2; follow-up). Two weeks after T1, an interview will be conducted independently with patients that completed the relaxation, hypnosis, and placebo sessions, and with the informal caregivers who provided them the DFU care. The results of the present study will contribute for a better understanding of DFU progression, healing, prevention of re-ulceration and future amputations and, consequently, for the improvement of patients' quality of life.

This study will also examine, qualitatively, the perspectives of patients with DFU on the relaxation intervention, in order to check its acceptability and applicability; as well as the perspectives of health professionals on this adjuvant therapy, its applicability and integration into the care system of multidisciplinary diabetic foot consultations. Participants have a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Foot; one or two chronic ulcers active at the time of assessment; and clinical levels of stress or anxiety or depression.
