Filter by: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.
The objective of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and outcome of a nurse-led nutritional intervention for patients with leg ulcers in a outpatient clinics. The intervention consists of a structured dialogue and patient information on key lifestyle behaviours to improve wound healing. Furthermore, the intervention includes protein supplement.
This is a feasibility study, designed to assess the acceptability of At Home Temperature Monitoring (AITM) by patients at high risk of diabetes foot ulceration. The investigation hopes to identify any problems with the study design before progressing to a full-scale evaluation, and will assess the ease of use of the technology and if there are any barriers to using this. Participants will be provided with an infrared camera and SMART phone and trained in how to use them. The participants will then be expected to capture images of both the plantar and dorsal aspects of their feet that will be sent to the research team for review. The two images will be captured once per day. The Intervention period will be 12 weeks. If a raised temperature is identified, the participant will be offered a face to face review appointment where they will receive podiatry treatment (if required), ulcer prevention advice and more detailed thermal imaging. Patient and health care professional (HCP) questionnaires will be used at the start and end of the study period to assess quality of life impact and device ease of use.
The project is designed to develop and test Pressure Alternating Shoes (PAS), which will periodically off-load certain regions of the foot in order to prevent foot ulcers. An automated dual layer insole compromised of an active pressurized actuator array in combination with a passive compliant layer on top of each actuator to modulate and distribute the plantar surface pressure as desired will be tested. This device will allow us to simultaneously load and offload select areas of the foot using the active layer by inflating and deflating individual actuators using pressurized air. After offloading, the remaining load will be distributed to other areas with inflated actuators. Automatic modulation will be provided through programmable control hardware which will cyclically relieve mechanical loading based on a prescribed duration and frequency.
The rise in diabetes incidence has led to a corresponding increase in diabetes-related complications. Diabetic foot ulcers, a severe consequence of diabetes, have substantial impacts on patients, the social environment, overall well-being, and nursing procedures. Given this context, there is a clear necessity for interventions that motivate patients to adopt beneficial health behaviors and educate them in effectively managing diabetes-related complications. This study seeks to investigate the impact of Watson's motivational interviewing method, which is grounded in the human care theory, on enhancing treatment adherence, self-efficacy, and satisfaction levels among individuals suffering from diabetic foot ulcers. Hypotheses of The Research H0: There is no difference in self-efficacy for diabetic foot care, diabetic foot care behavior, treatment adherence, and satisfaction between individuals with diabetic foot ulcers who receive Watson's human care theory-based motivational interviewing and diabetic foot care education, and those who receive standard education. H1: There is a difference in self-efficacy for diabetic foot care between individuals with diabetic foot ulcers who receive Watson's human care theory-based motivational interviewing and diabetic foot care education and those who receive standard education. H2: There is a difference in diabetic foot care behavior between individuals with diabetic foot ulcers who receive Watson's human care theory-based motivational interviewing and diabetic foot care education and those who receive standard education. H3: There is a difference in treatment adherence between individuals with diabetic foot ulcers who receive Watson's human care theory-based motivational interviewing and diabetic foot care education and those who receive standard education. H4: There is a difference in satisfaction between individuals with diabetic foot ulcers who receive Watson's human care theory-based motivational interviewing and diabetic foot care education and those who receive standard education.
This pilot study examined the effects of ELO water, a commercially-available oxygen-enriched drinking water, on wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers over 12 weeks.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the safety of DERMASEAL for the treatment of non-healing, neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers. The main outcome measure is safety. A total of twenty-four (24) participants will be randomized to receive up to four (4) consecutive weeks of treatment with either standard of care (SOC), plasma film + SOC, or plasma film containing silver microparticles (DERMASEAL) + SOC, with a final follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last treatment.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of flexor tenotomy on the prevention of recurrence of toe ulcers in people with diabetes and a history of toe ulceration. Additionally, the investigators aim to assess interphalangeal joints (IPJ) and metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) angles in a weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing position, bare-foot plantar pressure during walking and quality of life before and after the intervention and compare between study groups.
The aim of this study is to compare quality of life of diabetics with and without foot ulcer. Investigators will compare their quality of life based on the mental health impact of foot ulcer.
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.
