Filter by:Stain Analysis Mapping of the Plantar surface (STAMP) is a method designed by the University of Leeds to measure 'in-shoe' strain patterns on the plantar surface of the foot. Shear Load Inductive Plantar Sensing (SLIPS) is an insole designed by the University of Leeds to measure plantar shear stress and plantar pressure. This study aims to compare plantar strain using STAMP and plantar shear stress and plantar pressure using SLIPS in two groups of patients with diabetes; high risk patients with a recently healed plantar ulcer and low risk patients (according to the NICE definition).
We propose a randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy of: 1. Platelet-lysate loaded sustained release thermo-gelling formulation (Platelets-SR) 2. EPO/ISDN/UFH cryogel dressing (Trigel) As adjuncts to standard-of-care (SOC) in the treatment of chronic DFUs compared to SOC alone for patients attending the DFU outpatient clinic at the Gastroenterology Centre, Mansoura University.
This study seeks to demonstrate the performance of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy on chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the most widespread metabolic diseases and the alarming rise in its prevalence worldwide poses enormous challenges. The microvascular and macrovascular complications of DM heavy impact on longevity and quality of life, and in particular diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are among the ten top causes of worldwide disease burden and disability Essential components of the standard care, management, and treatment of DFUs are represented by health education, strict control of blood glucose and cardiovascular risk factors, offloading, local debridement, and adequate dressing. A wide variety of dressing is available, and these include basic contact dressings (low adherence dressings such as saline gauze, paraffin gauze or simple absorbent dressings) and advanced dressings (alginate, hydrogel, films, hydrocolloid, foam). It is important underline that due to lack of evidence from head-to-head randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the relative effects of any of these dressings in DFUs remain unclear. Consequently, so far clinical evidence supporting the choice for either hydrogel or saline gauze dressing, has been related mostly on clinician perception rather than high quality evidence. Here we evaluated the efficacy and safety of Fitostimoline® hydrogel dressing versus saline gauze dressing in patients with DFUs in a monocentric, two-arm, open-label, randomized, controlled trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact that the NanoSALV wound dressing can have on managing severe chronic wounds and feasibility for patients, providers, and health systems in different health care settings (community care, continuing care and in-patient care). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the cost-savings of using NanoSALV? 2. Do care providers perceive NanoSALV to be better, worse or the same as the standard of care in terms of usability and efficiency? 3. Does NanoSALV increase autonomy and competence of wound self-management for care providers/patients? 4. Were patients more satisfied, less satisfied or just as satisfied with NanoSALV compared to the standard of Care? 5. Does NanoSALV reduce healing time for chronic wounds compared to standard of care? The sequence and duration of the trial is as follows: - Required data will be collected at enrollment to provide a baseline (Day 0) measure. - The patient will receive standard of care treatment for four weeks with dressing changes as per the standard care pathway. - In the following four weeks the patient will receive the NanoSALV dressing treatment and dressing changes done every 48 - 72 hours as required. - Wound assessments will be done weekly with wound images captured by Aranz Medical's Silhouette Star 3D medical camera that digitally takes measurements. - A patient satisfaction survey will be collected post-control and post-intervention periods - One week after completing the study the patient/surrogate will be contacted or a survey link will be sent to them regarding adverse events and to see what wound dressing they continued to use. Semi-structured interviews and observations will be done with care providers/patients and healthcare professionals in the control period to explore the perspectives on the current state of chronic wound management, and in the intervention period to evaluate the perceptions on the usability of the intervention.
The aim of this randomised, open-label, multicentre clinical trial is to evaluate the superiority of the treatment which foresees the addition of the system VULNOFAST® plus / VULNOLIGHT® to the Usual Care, versus the treatment with Usual Care alone, for the healing of chronic diabetic foot ulcer. VULNOFAST® plus is a sterile solution used in combination with a red light source VULNOLIGHT®. Usual Care is defined as procedures to apply to the foot ulcer, carried out in the order in which they are listed in the protocol.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of uncultured adipose derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and cultured adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) both supplemented with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to treat chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It will increase the pragmatic potential of both types of cells as PRP is rich in survival and chemotactic factors. Moreover, the autologous nature of the proposed study will ensure safety of its use in diabetic patients and will unveil the more effective therapeutic option for treatment of foot ulcer wounds.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, exploratory phase 2a study to evaluate safety and biologic efficacy on wound healing of ILP100-Topical in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers during 26 weeks with a 5-year long-term follow-up period. A total of 30 subjects will be randomized to low dose of ILP100-Topical (ILP100Lo), high dose of ILP100-Topical (ILP100Hi) or Placebo according to a 1:1:1 randomization schedule. The study will consist of a 3-weeks Screening and Run-in Phase, followed by a 5-week Treatment Phase starting from Baseline and an Assessment Phase from Week 5 to Week 26. Thereafter, the subjects will be followed yearly during 5 years in a Long-Term Safety Follow-up Phase.
This is an IRB-approved multicenter study.This non-inferiority study aims to evaluate differential healing rates between Lavior Diabetic Wound Gel and other Hydrogels. Study therapy will be started in the outpatient setting and followed accordingly.
Offloading plays an important part Diabetic foot ulcers healing. The modular design of the DiaSole would allow the offloading cavity to be changed in line with the changing ulcer dimensions. It may be possible to use the DiaSole for other causes of neuropathic foot ulcerations (such as rheumatoid arthritis), but the safety of the insole needs assessing first. There is already evidence to support the use of offloading insoles in the healing and prevention of pressure ulcers, DiaSole may be an improved insole for this purpose.
