Filter by:Purpose and significance:With the increasing incidence of Diabetes mellitus (DM), the incidence rate of Diabetic Foot (DF) is raised. DF is a foot infection, ulceration and / or deep tissue destruction caused by nerve abnormalities and varying degrees of vascular lesions in DM patients. The high incidence, disability and mortality rate of DF make it urgent to explore new ways to improve the cure rate, reduce the burden and elevate the quality of life. Previous studies have confirmed that traditional Miao ethic medicine Tangningtongluo(TNTL) can improve the remission rate of diabetes mellitus and diabetic foot disease, but the clinical research evidence is not sufficient. This study aims to provide effective clinical evidence for the treatment of diabetic foot patients with TNTL by observing growth rate of wound, prognosis and outcome. Methods: From September 2021 to March 2023, a total of 80 diabetic foot ulcer patients admitted to Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were recruited. Participants are randomized in a ratio of 1: 1: 1:1 into four treatment groups of 20 participants: (i) standardized western medicine treatment group, (ii) standardized western medicine treatment+TNTL tablet+TNTL cream group , (iii) standardized western medicine treatment+TNTL tablet group, and (iiii) standardized western medicine treatment+TNTL cream group. Treatment with TNTL tablets: the oral administration of TNTL tablets, 4 tablets each time, 3 times a day. Treatment with TNTL cream: topical application of sterile TNTL cream on the wound surface, the dressing is continuously changed according to the wound healing. Anthropometric parameters, serum biochemical index, glycosylated hemoglobin, urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio, islet-specific autoantibodies(ISAs), fat mass, and islet β-cell function were measured. The healing stage of the wound surface and the growth degree of granulation tissue were graded, and the time required for wound repairing to each healing stage was observed. Type of study: randomized controlled, prospective,intervention study.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the medical cost of illness for DFUs on the patients who had used ON101 or Aquacel® in the ON101CLCT02 trial.
202 Diabetic foot ulcers will be cleaned with either Hypochlorous Acid, HClO or Polyhexamethylene biguanide, PHMB twice a week until healed or 24 weeks. Primary objective is to find out if cleaning DFU with HClO is more effective in obtaining complete healing than PHMB.
This study explored the pattern and type of amputations performed on patients with diabetic foot who were admitted to our institution, as well as the 7-year mortality rate of patients with diabetic foot at the same institution. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it highlights the need for strengthening efforts to decrease the risk of amputation and mortality among patients with diabetic foot, especially in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The purpose of the study was designed leg resistance training combined with breathing approach, and evaluated its effect on wound healing, blood sugar control and quality of life in type 2 diabetic patients with foot ulcers.
The aim of this feasibility study is to evaluate a 12-week exercise intervention in people with an active diabetic foot ulcer through pre-defined research progression criteria (participant recruitment and retention, duration of the collection of outcome measures, adherence to the exercise programme, and adverse events), besides participant and physiotherapist feedback, self-reported outcomes and objective measurements in preparation for a potential future RCT. The primary study hypothesis is that exercise therapy for people with an active diabetic foot ulcer will have high participant recruitment and adherence to treatment and that it does not affect wound healing negatively.
Procenta® has been successful in facilitating closure of non-healing diabetic ulcers in patients where proper wound care management/practice has failed along with other allo- and xenografts. In each individual case study where diabetes mellitus was pathological, unique wound morphologies with high variability in all three dimensions showed significant progress or were fully closed after at least one application of Procenta®. In the present study, the investigators seek to investigate the efficacy of the product over a 90-day treatment time-course with a larger sample size of patients suffering from non-healing wounds due to diabetes mellitus types I or II (diabetes mellitus). As a result, the investigators hope to better understand the potential and limitations of the product under these conditions with the anticipation that a significant number of patients will recover, avoid amputation, and return to a normal daily life.
Prospective, monocentric, pathophysiological study, comparing 3 parallel groups: healthy controls; patients with diabetes and without DFU; patients with diabetes and with DFU. To address secondary objectives, samples from a fourth group will be collected.
A Prospective, Double-blind, Multi-center, Randomized, Parallel-group safety and efficacy study of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) in the treatment of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs spends an estimated $1.5 billion a year on healthcare for patients with diabetes. The prevalence and complications of diabetes increase with age. Therefore, with the aging of the US and Veteran populations, there is an expectation of increased healthcare costs associated with treating diabetes and the associated complications of this disorder. One common complication is the diabetic foot ulcer. Diabetic foot ulcers are expensive to treat, can take a long time to heal and result in a decrease in patient quality of life. Patients remain susceptible to developing more foot ulcers over time. The goal of this project is to reduce the time it takes to heal a diabetic foot ulcer, increase the time between episodes of ulceration and improve the quality of life for diabetic foot ulcer patients.
