Filter by:A randomised controlled investigation comparing the clinical performance and cost effectiveness of Biatain® Silicone with Standard of Care dressing including filler in chronic wounds (CP351 - BISIL Study) This study (BISIL) will compare the Biatain® Silicone dressing to commonly used wound care products (AQUACEL®EXTRATM Hydrofiber® Dressing used with Mepilex® Border). The study will recruit in total 100 adult subjects with a venous leg ulcer or a diabetic foot ulcer no deeper than 2cm. Only ulcers with a duration of at least 8 weeks but no longer than a year will be included. The study will be a randomised controlled trial where half of the participants will use Biatain® Silicone and half will use the comparator for 4 weeks. Each participant will be in the study for 4-5 weeks during which there will be a weekly visit with the study team to complete the study assessments and change the dressing. The study will run for approximately one year, starting in January 2023.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of Buerger Allen exercises on lower extremity perfusion and wound healing in patients with foot ulcer type 2 diabetes. The Buerger Allen exercise is a specific exercise that aims to improve circulation in the feet and legs. Buerger Allen exercise is an ideal and noninvasive therapy for diabetic patients with a diabetic foot ulcer as it is an easy-to-learn, repetitive, low-cost, and low-risk physical activity. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the control or intervention group. The ulcers and lower extremity perfusion of the patients in both the intervention and control groups were examined and measured.
Objective: investigate The effect of combined red and infrared lasers on histopathology collagen formation in diabetic foot ulcer Participants: The forty five patients will assigned randomly into three equal groups, each group consist of 15 patients, group A received laser therapy in sequential mode, group B received laser therapy in separate mode and the control group C receive conventional wound care treatment
The aim of this clinical investigation is to collect skin lesion area data for the comparison of the agreement among the results obtained between the following three wound area measurement methods: - Ruler using the Kundin method, - Investigational software Clinicgram Euclides - Digital planimetry with Adobe Photoshop The clinical data retrieved in this study will allow the clinical validation of the safety and safety of the investigation software Clinicgram Euclides.
A Prospective, Non-Randomized, Multi-Center Observational Study To determine the safety and effectiveness of InnovaMatrix AC porcine placental ECM therapy for the treatment of chronic, non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) Eligible subjects will be treated with a weekly application of sterilized, porcine placental ECM followed by standard of care wound therapy and offloading
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.
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.
Diabetes education and self-management support can be delivered via mobile phones. This protocol aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Well Feet, a conversational agent, as a diabetic foot care companion. By utilizing feedback and responses to evaluative questions posted on the app's interface, the investigators intend to examine the app's technical, functional, and operational feasibility.
Diabetes affects 463 million population of the world. Diabetic foot is one of the complications of uncontrolled diabetes which can lead to amputation in 5- 24% of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Every 30 seconds a lower extremity is amputated in the world due to diabetes. This is a retrospective study conducted in Balochistan, Pakistan. In this study investigators explored the risk factor of amputation in diabetic patients. Baseline characteristics, clinical profile, and lab tests were retrieved retrospectively and presented in the forms of tables. Investigators compared the categorical variables in amputees vs non-amputees and analyzed associated risk factors of amputation.
