Filter by:Critical Limb Ischaemia (CLI) is a condition characterized by chronic ischemic at-rest pain, ulcers, or gangrene for more than 2 weeks in one or both legs, attributable to objectively proven arterial occlusive disease.CLI is associated with a high risk of lower amputation, diminished quality of life and mortality. Revascularization by either bypass surgery or endovascular recanalization is considered the first-choice treatment in patients with CLI. Revascularization is not always possible because patients with CLI often have severe comorbidities or because it is not technically feasible. On the basis of their well-recognized regenerative and angiogenetic properties, cell therapy with autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) has been proposed and tested in different animal models and in some human pathological conditions characterized by peripheral ischemia and wound formation.
This is a twelve-week single-center, randomized, double-blind, clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a folic acid wound treatment (FAWT) versus Placebo in the promotion of healing of chronic, early stage diabetic foot ulcer (ES-DFU) wounds. Male and female Veterans with type-2 diabetes mellitus and chronic ES-DFUs acceptable to the study inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment.
The investigators aimed to elucidate the effects of ultrasound debridement on the area and healing of diabetic foot ulcers compared to their conventional treatment.
This will be a prospective, open-label, two-center study to assess the safety of omadacycline use in the treatment of hospitalized subjects with moderate to severe DFI with or without Acute osteomyelitis (AOM) who are at a high risk for development of CDI, AKI, and/or resistant pathogens compared to retrospective controls. Prospective enrollment will be continued until the sample size is achieved up to one year from start date (October 2020). Secondary to slower than anticipated enrollment due to the COVID-19 pandemic and initial exclusion of AOM, following protocol amendment, patient enrollment will be continued until the sample size is achieved up to 18 months from amendment approval (anticipate April 2022 - October 2023). A historical matched case cohort (standard of care) at the two hospitals based on ICD10 codes associated with DFI [E11.(621, 622), E10.(621, 622); L97.(509, 521, 522, 523, 524, 529)], including subjects with AOM [M86.(08-09, 10, 16-19, 8X0, 8X7-8X9, 9) will be utilized for comparison.
This cohort study aims to evaluate the outcomes of appropriate surgical treatment strategies in diabetic foot ulcers with different rate of popliteal artery stenosis(<50% or ≥50%). In this study, patients with Texas university grade 2-4(stage C-D) ischemic diabetic foot ulcers will be included. Data of patients who underwent surgical treatment in the past will be retrospectively collected. The patients with follow-up time less than 12 months will continue to follow up. Also the postoperative patients will be prospectively collected. Effects of different surgical strategies, including wound healing therapy, interventional therapy and tibial transverse bone transport therapy will be measured by several indexes.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, 1:1 randomized clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the use of Celliant Socks increases tissue oxygenation (via oxygen saturation, StO2) and incidence of wound closure in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers. This study will use hyperspectral imaging and wound assessment to measure these outcomes. The study will enroll 254 evaluable subjects total, 127 per arm to meet the Primary Endpoint. Enrollment may continue up to twenty-five hundred (2500) evaluable subjects total to meet the Key Secondary Endpoint of complete wound closure.
This prospective double-blind placebo-controlled trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of oral dispersible tablet of vitamin B12 for 1 year, in 90 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and neuropathy.
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.
Umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (MNC) may improve the wound repair ability. This study aims to investigate the role of MNC in refractory diabetic foot ulcer by comparing the combination of PRP and MNC with PRP alone.
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. Psychological interventions can contribute to the improvement of wound healing and, relaxation, in particular, seems 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 on chronic wounds such as DFU. This is a Pilot Randomised Controlled Study of a Psychological Intervention that aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a muscle relaxation intervention with guided imagery (experimental group - EG) compared to a neutral guided imagery placebo (active control group - ACG) and a group that does not receive any psychological intervention (passive control group - PCG), to inform a future definitive Randomised Controlled Study (RCT) that tests its effectiveness. 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. Participants will be randomized by the three conditions - EG, 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 with patients with DFU that benefited from the relaxation sessions and to the health professionals 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.
