This study was planned as a prospective case-control study to examine the effect of PRF application on wound healing in diabetic foot wound. The sample of the study will consist of patients with diabetic foot wounds, who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. It is planned to include 7 patients for the experimental group and 7 patients for the control group (14 patients in total). If the patient is in the experimental group, PRF will be applied to the diabetic foot wound, and in the control group, classic wound dressing (CWD) will be applied.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of online trainings on diabetic foot care on foot care behavior and self-efficacy attitudes of individuals with type II diabetes. Purpose in accordance with the patient's Diagnostic Information Form, diabetic foot care self-efficacy Scale(DABOO), foot care Behavior Scale(ABDO) and diabetic foot risk screening forms are available in the data collection tools; education and Research Hospital Internal Medicine outpatient clinic with Deeply Izmit Seka state hospital, inpatient or outpatient treatment for persons with Type II diabetes who agree to volunteer to participate in research 90 shall apply. After that, the groups will be divided into two groups by randomization, and one of the groups will be given training sessions consisting of min 20 max 40 minutes for diabetic foot care in 5 sessions for nine weeks. After the training, the scales will be applied to the groups again. The data obtained before and after the training will be compared statistically in a computer environment
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a significant threat to the health and wellbeing of diabetic patients. Affecting around 1 in 10 people (NHS North West Coast Strategic Clinical Networks, 2017) regardless of a diabetes type they often result in a drastically worsened quality of life and can lead to severe consequences including leg amputations. This survey will help to understand what role various environmental factors have on the incidence, severity and recurrence of DFUs. Results from this study will help healthcare professionals as well as patients to better understand various factors involved in DFU prevalence. Moreover, this survey could help to appreciate whether a more holistic approach should be followed when assessing DFU risk and deciding on therapy. This study will be run across five sites in England between October 2023 and May 2024 and will involve a small pilot study (informal interview) and an anonymous, ten-minute questionnaire. Any adult with an ongoing or past DFU will be eligible. Participants will be asked about their job type, quality of life, diabetic therapy, comorbidities, and environmental factors questions. There will be an option for a follow-up questionnaire after 12 weeks to understand the healing process and changes to the quality of life following a DFU incident. Additionally, patients may consent to provide access to excerpts from their anonymized medical history details (prescribed medications) to better understand their diabetic and DFU history. This study will be run as part of an industrial, London Interdisciplinary Biosciences Consortium (LIDo) PhD project investigating the autologous platelet-rich plasma gel for diabetic foot ulcers (RAPID™ biodynamic haematogel) with King's College London as funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSCR) and Biotherapy Services Ltd.
University Health Network (UHN), working together with local primary care practitioners, patients, and community healthcare services is developing a Diabetic Foot Care and Limb Preservation Care pathway. Our goal is to improve foot care for individuals living with diabetes. This study is using a method called developmental evaluation to help map out the system and to provide information in real-time so that the pathway can be adapted and respond to what is learned. The investigators are going to explore different factors (facilitators and barriers) and processes, which help or hinder the development, implementation, and adoption of the pathway. The investigators are also going to find out about the patient and provider's experiences with diabetic foot care, wound care, limb preservation, and amputation. Finally, the study team is going to look at value-based health care for the diabetic foot care pathways and document healthcare resource utilization, costs, and outcomes. The study team will conduct interviews of stakeholders, including patient representatives, and will examine the participation and engagement in the pathway, identifying barriers and facilitators of the process. Once the pathway has started, the study team will look at the way the care is delivered and satisfaction through surveys to patients and practitioners. The study team will also ask about patients' quality of life and their ability to manage diabetes. The study will aim to answer three key questions: What is happening? Why is it happening? and, What are reasonable prospects, and tools for change? The entire study is anticipated to take 3 years to complete.
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Insulin iontophoresis mixed with oleic acid versus topical insulin in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcer
A Research Study to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Fespixon cream in patients suffering from DFU (UTWCS Grade III-A or III-B) by measuring the change of grade of UTWCS (University of Texas Diabetic Wound Classification system), wound area reduction, infection control, and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE).
The primary aim of the study is to establish a diabetic foot school. The secondary aim is to compare the effects of the training given to diabetic foot patients within the scope of the diabetic foot school, on sensory, balance, lower extremity biomechanics and the effectiveness of these individuals on the knowledge level of diabetic foot. With the evaluations to be made, the effectiveness of the diabetic foot school program will be proven and it will contribute to the literature with objective and evidence-based results. For these reasons, the hypotheses on which the research is based were formed as follows; H11 hypothesis: The diabetic foot school program applied in diabetic foot patients has an effect on foot biomechanical measurements and gait parameters. Hypothesis H12: In diabetic foot patients, the diabetic foot school program has an effect on the sensation of individuals. H13 hypothesis: In diabetic foot patients, the diabetic foot school program has an effect on the balance of individuals. H14 hypothesis: In diabetic foot patients, the diabetic foot school program has an effect on the diabetic foot and self-care behaviors of individuals.
Exercise studies with patients with diabetic foot ulcers are very few. In this disease group, since it is considered dangerous to put a load on the foot, a barrier has been placed between the patients and the exercise. With the study investigators plan to do, investigators will try to exercise in these patients in a controlled manner. Among the patients divided into 3 groups, the 1st group will apply the control group, the 2nd group will perform aerobic exercise, and the 3rd group will apply the exercises investigators have determined as the protocol group. 12 weeks, 2 sessions a week will be exercised with the help of a physiotherapist. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, at the end of week 4, at the end of week 8, and at the end.
To examine the effects of aerobic exercise and foot exercises in addition to aerobic exercise on lower extremity distal tissue mechanics, muscle strength and neuropathy symptoms in type 2 diabetics with peripheral neuropathy. Subjects will be divided into three groups through randomization.Subjects in the 1st group will be included in the control group and will continue their routine medical treatment for 12 weeks. Subjects in the 2nd group, in addition to their medical treatment, only aerobic exercise training,subjects in the 3rd group will be given aerobic exercise training and exercises for the foot and ankle in addition to their medical treatment. After 12 weeks of training, subjects will be followed for another 12 weeks. subjects will be evaluated before treatment, at 12 and 24 weeks.
