Filter by:The Investigators plan to evaluate healing in two cohorts of patients with diabetic foot wounds (n=20) that receive optimal treatment including serial wound debridement and off-loading with a boot or postop shoe and AmnioEXCEL+. In one cohort, AmnioEXCEL+ will be applied weekly at study visits and in the second cohort, AmnioEXCEL+ will be applied maximum every 2 weeks (PRN, in the case that the wound requires debridement at a visit not intended for AE+ application, the wound will be treated as SOC). In addition, the Investigators will collect data on other potential confounding factors that could affect healing such as antibiotic, anti-fungal and anti-infective medications, tobacco, comorbidities, diabetes control, infection, perfusion, and activity. Wound healing, including wound size and adverse events will be evaluated.
Data will be collected with 3 vascular imaging devices (IntraOx Vioptix, Newark, CA; Hyperview, HyperMed Imaging, Memphis, TN; Snapshot NIH, Kent Imaging, Calgary, Alberta, Canada). The wound will be imaged with the 3 devices at index research encounter (this will count as the initial pre-operative imaging if the patient requires surgery), before surgery for interval or additional surgeries, during surgery, and during clinic follow-up (one set of imaging approximately every 3-5 weeks) visits for a maximum follow up time of 12 months or until the wound is documented as healed, whichever occurs first. The investigators will collect data from the medial and lateral angiosomes on the dorsum and plantar aspects of the foot and the anterior and posterior leg. Subject data will be obtained from the patient by oral history and physical exam and the medical records of patients of the investigators: vascular data, demographic medical history, wound characteristics and measurements, frequency of debridement and off-loading. Collection of lab data will be obtained such as cultures glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin and hematocrit, ESR, CRP and eGFR obtained per standard of care. Imaging with the three devices is research-only and is not standard of care.
Patients who underwent surgery for diabetic foot were divided into three groups: sciatic nerve block (Group B), continuous nerve catheter (Group C) . Group B patients underwent preoperative popliteal ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockage. 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered. In Group C patients, 20% bupivacaine 20 ml was applied to the sciatic nerve with a peripheral nerve catheter and continuous infusion was started with patient controlled analgesia device.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Vaporous Hyperoxia Therapy (VHT) for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
To determine the effectiveness, compliance, patient tolerance, ease of use and safety of total contact soft cast in diabetic foot ulcers.
This is a 12 week, randomized controlled trial. There are 2 arms and 20 patients with non healing diabetic foot ulcer allocated in each arm. One arm receives i:X guided treatment and the other arm receives standard of care treatment. Our primary objective is to compare the wound area reduction in both arms.
Diabetic foot is a common complication of diabetes mellitus and requires specialized treatment. Wounds are characterized by persistent infection and chronic inflammatory processes, impeding well directed matrix remodelling and wound closure. Cold plasma applications have demonstrated beneficial effects on wound healing in several case reports. The investigator-initiated "Kaltplasma Wund (KPW)-Trial" was performed to prove beneficial effects of cold plasma in wound healing in a prospective, placebo-controlled, randomized bi-center study.
This study will compare the Omeza® Products Bundle to standard of care (SOC) for in subjects with chronic venous leg ulcers and subjects with diabetic foot ulcers.
A randomized, controlled open-label, parallel group study to examine the effectiveness of a local application of the kalahari melon (Citrullus lanatus) seed oil for the healing of non-infected diabetic foot ulcers.
- The study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, single blinded clinical study consisting of 150 subjects from up to 20 centers. - The subjects are randomized to receive 1 of 2 treatments, either with ActiGraft and standard of care (SOC) or with SOC alone. - The target ulcers are evaluated weekly by the investigator. The subject is treated once a week, to receive weekly applications of the ActiGraft + SOC or SOC until for up to 12 weeks or until the study ulcer has completely healed (i.e., 100% closure as assessed by the Investigator and blinded assessor and confirmed 2 weeks later at the healing confirmation visit (HCV). One additional visit per week is optional for both arms, for the purpose of changing only (1) the secondary dressing in the ActiGraft arm or (2) change the standard of care dressing in the control arm. - Immediately after the study ulcer is confirmed as completely healed, subjects will enter the 12-week Follow-up Phase. During the Follow-Up phase, subjects will be evaluated twice during the first month and then monthly for two additional visits every 4 weeks until the completion of the 12-week Follow-up Phase.
