Filter by:The purpose of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and performance of Compedica's OptiPulse™ and to collect subject outcome data on the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU's) versus the standard of care (SOC). OptiPulse™ is designed to enhance blood circulation in the venules and arterioles. Fibracol Plus (or equivalent) is a collagen alginate dressing that is used as the primary dressing. Both products are 510(k) FDA cleared and will be used within the cleared intended use.
This randomized clinical trial will examine the effect of inforatio technique on healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Inforatio technique is a novel procedure developed by the research group. The definition of inforatio technique is application of small cuts in wound beds with punch biopsy tools without involving surrounding epithelia. The aim is to initiate an acute inflammatory response that will promote healing of the ulcers.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most common reasons for hospitalization of diabetic patients and frequently results in amputation of lower limbs. Of the one million people who undergo non-traumatic leg amputations annually worldwide, 75% are performed on people who have type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The risk of death at 10 years for a diabetic with DFU is twice as high as the risk for a patient without a DFU. The rate of amputation in patients with DFU is 38.4%4. Infection is a common (>50%) complication of DFU. Emerging evidence underscores the significant risk that biofilm infection poses to the non-healing DFU. Biofilms are estimated to account for 60% of chronic wound infections. In the biofilm form, bacteria are in a dormant metabolic state. Thus, standard clinical techniques like the colony forming unit (CFU) assay to detect infection may not detect biofilm infection. Thus, biofilm infection may be viewed as a silent maleficent threat in wound care.
CACIPLIQ20® is currently a class III CE marked medical device available in various European and non-European countries, and currently primarily used in managing hard-to-heal wounds. This study is a prospective and standardized recording of patients' data followed in real-life conditions to appreciate the benefits of a therapeutic strategy including CACIPLIQ20® use. It also aims at collecting data to follow-up the device's efficacy and safety and estimate its cost-effectiveness.
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.
Design: A randomised, controlled, prospective trial. Participants will be patients with non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. The study will aim to recruit 15 participants per study group (30 participants in total). Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: - Group 1: CYP-006TK - Group 2: Standard care This will be an open label study with respect to treatment allocation. However, the person reviewing images of the study ulcers to assess healing will be blind to the participant's treatment allocation. Participants assigned to Group 1 will be treated with CYP-0006TK dressings on 8 occasions over 4 weeks. The dressings will be changed every 3 or 4 days. After the first 4 weeks, participants in Group 1 will revert to standard care for the rest of the study. Participants assigned to Group 2 will have their ulcer treated with standard care throughout the study. Participants will attend a total of 16 scheduled visits over 24 weeks. There will be a mixture of on-site (hospital/clinic) visits, and home visits. The study will end 24 weeks after the initiation of treatment, unless the study ulcer is completely headed before then.
This is a post - market study with a wound dressing, a CE-marked medical device available on the european market. The device will be used in routine clinical practice, i.e. within its intended purpose and without any additional invasive or stressing examinations for the patients. Up to 36 adult patients with wounds suitable to be treated with the medical device and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled at two participating German sites. During 5 on-site visits within 28 days routine weekly dressing changes the Health Care Professional will examine the wound and will perform required wound care and dressing changes. Pictures of the wound with and without dressing will be taken at each visit and used for automatic analysis. The subjects will be asked to rate their general wound pain and the pain perceived during dressing changes. A wound-related quality of life questionnaire will be presented to the subjects twice and the subject and HCP will rate their safisfaction with the product.
This study is evaluating whether a therapeutic ultrasound device can improve blood flow to the leg with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
Purpose and significance:With the increasing incidence of Diabetes mellitus (DM), the incidence rate of Diabetic Foot (DF) is raised. DF is a foot infection, ulceration and / or deep tissue destruction caused by nerve abnormalities and varying degrees of vascular lesions in DM patients. The high incidence, disability and mortality rate of DF make it urgent to explore new ways to improve the cure rate, reduce the burden and elevate the quality of life. Previous studies have confirmed that traditional Miao ethic medicine Tangningtongluo(TNTL) can improve the remission rate of diabetes mellitus and diabetic foot disease, but the clinical research evidence is not sufficient. This study aims to provide effective clinical evidence for the treatment of diabetic foot patients with TNTL by observing growth rate of wound, prognosis and outcome. Methods: From September 2021 to March 2023, a total of 80 diabetic foot ulcer patients admitted to Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were recruited. Participants are randomized in a ratio of 1: 1: 1:1 into four treatment groups of 20 participants: (i) standardized western medicine treatment group, (ii) standardized western medicine treatment+TNTL tablet+TNTL cream group , (iii) standardized western medicine treatment+TNTL tablet group, and (iiii) standardized western medicine treatment+TNTL cream group. Treatment with TNTL tablets: the oral administration of TNTL tablets, 4 tablets each time, 3 times a day. Treatment with TNTL cream: topical application of sterile TNTL cream on the wound surface, the dressing is continuously changed according to the wound healing. Anthropometric parameters, serum biochemical index, glycosylated hemoglobin, urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio, islet-specific autoantibodies(ISAs), fat mass, and islet β-cell function were measured. The healing stage of the wound surface and the growth degree of granulation tissue were graded, and the time required for wound repairing to each healing stage was observed. Type of study: randomized controlled, prospective,intervention study.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the medical cost of illness for DFUs on the patients who had used ON101 or Aquacel® in the ON101CLCT02 trial.
