Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of an amniotic membrane allograft in addition to standard wound care treatment can improve patient outcomes for people over the age of 50 with diabetic foot ulcers. The main question it aims to answer is the incidence of complete wound closure at the end of 12 weeks of treatment.Researchers will compare the outcomes between a group of people treated with standard wound care and another group treated with standard wound care in addition to the amniotic membrane allograft to see if the amniotic membrane allograft improves patient outcomes. Participants will visit their doctor over a 12 week period as per standard diabetic foot ulcer treatment procedures and fill out a questionnaire measuring quality of life.
Diabetic foot ulcer affects 10.5% of the Brazilian/world population, compromising the quality of life of these patients and burdening the public health system. Studies show that antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) accelerates its repair, however, there is not enough evidence for decision-making in clinical practice, which prevents this treatment from being used on a large scale. Controlled and randomized clinical studies are needed to increase the level of evidence on this subject, promoting the improvement of the quality of life of people affected by diabetic foot ulcers. The aim of this study is to analyze the action of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on the quality of the wound and tissue repair process using the Bates-Jensen scale in people affected by diabetic foot wounds.
The goal of this multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, evaluator-blinded study is to assess the safety and efficacy of NOX1416 in the treatment of chronic, non-healing, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Subjects will be randomized to receive treatment with NOX1416 or placebo, as an adjunct to Standard of Care (SOC). The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of NOX1416 as adjunct to SOC. The secondary objective is to evaluate the clinical benefit of daily NOX1416, as an adjunct to standard of care SOC. Each site will assign a physician (or designee) to serve as the blinded evaluator who is responsible for assessing the study endpoints. The blinded evaluator will not be involved in the clinical care of subjects.

There are multiple studies conducted in Pakistan that supports the topic of foot care knowledge among individual with type 2 diabetes but all are descriptive cross-sectional studies and investigators cannot develop cause effect relationship out of it. Secondly, there is a lack of documented research on the foot care knowledge shown by people with T2D residing in the slums of Karachi. In order to assess the knowledge intervention among the individual having T2D through qualified diabetes educators and pictorial educational pamphlet along with the standard care of treatment. Consequently, it may aid in the development of effective methods aimed at mitigating foot-related complications among this specific population. Individuals diagnosed with diabetes are required to engage in proactive and structured self-care activities by providing the foot care knowledge in order to effectively manage their condition and mitigate the risk of potential complications. The incorporation of health-deviation knowledge and activities into routine is crucial.
This study seeks to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) in the prevention of Diabetic foot (DF), in patients at moderate and high risk for its development, through a controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Individuals between 18 and 75 years old of both sexes, with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and moderate and high risk for DF will be randomized and allocated into 2 groups of 32 participants each. The PBM Group will use a boot with 1344 LEDs, 504 of which are 660 nm located on the sides of the boot (28.5 milliwatt, 10 J per LED); 504 850 nm also located on the sides of the boot (23 milliwatt, 8 J per LED); 168 of 660 nm located at the base of the boot (28.5 milliwatt, 10 J per LED); 168 of 850 nm also located at the base of the boot (23 milliwatt, 8 J per LED) once a day for 6 minutes, for 60 days and will receive therapeutic education. Participants will be evaluated at baseline, after 30 days (clinical examination) and after 60 days (clinical examination, Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) assessment, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) assessment, blood and urine tests, and quality of life).
Foot ulcers and amputations are a common and feared complication for people with diabetes. People with a diabetic foot ulcer have a higher risk of dying within five years than people with diabetes without an ulcer. At least one in four people with a new diabetic foot ulcer will die within five years, largely due to cardiovascular causes. The reasons for this increased mortality involve decreased mobility. People with a recently healed diabetic foot ulcer are considered "in remission" as opposed to "cured" because the underlying medical problems which led to their ulcer are still present. Once in remission, the current standard of care is to slowly increase ambulation. The problem is that people rarely return to the recommended level of mobility. The ability to safely maintain mobility with aging is critical. This pilot study is a small clinical trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based exercise regimen. The investigators will also assess if this home-based exercise regimen can increase mobility and function without increasing diabetic foot ulcer recurrence by improving lower extremity strength, lower extremity tissue perfusion and glycemic control.
The objective of this observational study is to investigate and validate the utility of high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging technology for dynamic observation of the blood perfusion process at the site of ulcer wounds in real-time, focusing on patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). The primary research questions it seeks to address are as follows: - What are the dynamic characteristics of vascular dynamics at the site of ulcer wounds in patients with DFU under high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging? - Is High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (H-CEUS) technology feasible for effectively visualizing the microcirculation of ulcer wounds in patients with DFU? Participants will Undergo high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging for real-time observation of blood perfusion dynamics at the site of ulcer wounds. Researchers will compare ulcerated sites with normal sites to see whether the use of High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (H-CEUS) has any discernible impact on the visualization of microcirculation in ulcer wounds.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to develop and test a tailored occupational therapist-led lifestyle-focused intervention to aid patients in improving diabetic foot ulcer care. The main questions it aims to answer are to determine the acceptability and feasibility of taking a tailored lifestyle-focused approach as part of comprehensive diabetic foot ulcer management. Patient participants with DFUs who require offloading treatment will receive the tailored lifestyle-focused self-management intervention.
This study is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel series randomized trial aimed at verifying the effiicacy and safety of a local calcium-sulphate bio-absorbable antibiotic delivery (tobramicina+vancomicina) versus placebo (calcium-sulphate matrix without antibiotics) in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis treated with surgical procedures.
