Filter by:The Sponsor of this study, SANUWAVE, Inc., has developed an investigational device known as the dermaPACE® (Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression) device for the possible treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. This device generates acoustic (sound) pressure waves designed to act on the cells in your body to generate proteins that may lead to wound closure. The dermaPACE® device has not been approved for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers; therefore its use in this study is investigational. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of the dermaPACE® device to help diabetic foot ulcers heal more quickly. The active study device, the dermaPACE®, will be compared to an inactive look-alike device (called a "Sham") in this study. The sham device will not provide any treatment to your diabetic foot ulcer.
The purpose of this trial is to determine if wounds with elevated protease activity (EPA) treated with targeted interventions such as protease modulating therapies can improve clinical and economic outcomes. It is hypothesized that protease modulating dressings may provide significantly better clinical outcomes on EPA wounds over current standard of care.
Hypothesis:Surgical treatment of osteomyelitis in diabetic foot is more effective that medical treatment through antibiotherapy and leads wound healing in ulcers complicated with bone infection.Material and Methods: Randomized clinical trials which include two groups of patients (n=88), one receives medical treatment through antibiotherapy during 90 days and the other group receive conservative surgical treatment and antibiotics during 7 days after surgery. It will be studied differences between both groups in healing time, recidives, present and relationship of adverse events and outflow of quality of life related health .
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.
Diabetic foot ulcers are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all non-traumatic amputations performed in the United States. The cost of foot ulcers in diabetic patients averages almost $28,000 for the two years after diagnosis of the ulcer. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) serves as primary or adjunctive therapy for a diverse range of medical conditions. HBO also has been used as an adjunct to antibiotics, debridement, and revascularization in the therapy of chronic, nonhealing wounds associated with diabetes or non-diabetic vascular insufficiency. The aim of the study is to assess whether hyperoxia induced angiogenesis in diabetic patients with foot ulcers.
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of windowed casts with Regranex® (topical becaplermin gel) versus placebo (inactive medication) for treatment of diabetic ulcers on the legs and feet.
