Filter by:Randomized multisite two arms study in which one arm of patients will be treated with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) known also as Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) treatment ("VAC Arm") and the second arm of patients will be treated with MedCu wound dressings with copper oxide (COD) ("Copper Arm"). The study goals are to compare the efficacy, cost and convenience between MedCu Wound Dressings with Copper Oxide (COD) and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy of diabetic foot wounds.
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.
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).
The aim of this feasibility study is to evaluate a 12-week exercise intervention in people with an active diabetic foot ulcer through pre-defined research progression criteria (participant recruitment and retention, duration of the collection of outcome measures, adherence to the exercise programme, and adverse events), besides participant and physiotherapist feedback, self-reported outcomes and objective measurements in preparation for a potential future RCT. The primary study hypothesis is that exercise therapy for people with an active diabetic foot ulcer will have high participant recruitment and adherence to treatment and that it does not affect wound healing negatively.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are aggressive complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and affect 25% of these patients. DFU are associated with a high risk of amputations and early mortality and significantly impact quality of life (QoL). The low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is an important approach for the treatment of DFU, however there is a lack of data on its influence on the QoL of patients with DFU. On the other hand, adherence to self-care is a factor closely related to QoL. Therefore, this study is justified by the need to understand the impact of LLLT on QoL and its relationship with self-care. Aim: To evaluate the quality of life of patients with diabetic foot ulcers treated with different doses of LLLT (GaAs) 904 nm and its association with aspects of adherence to self-care. Methods: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to the groups: control LLLT placebo (CG), LLLT 904 nm 10 J/cm² (LG1), LLLT 904 nm 8 J/cm² (LG2) and LLLT 904 nm 4 J/cm² (LG3). QoL data, percentage of healing and pain will be assessed before the start of the intervention, in 10th week and after one month to the end of intervention, self-care will be assessed before the start of the intervention and at the end of intervention. Eighty participants with DFU will be recruited who will receive intervention twice a week for up to 20 visits (10 weeks).
The goal of the clinical trial is to investigate adherence to, and effects of, the Bluedrop Monitoring System (BMS) in high-risk patients with at least one previous diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). The BMS is a remote thermovisual monitoring system, which allows the condition of the soles of the feet to be remotely monitored for thermal and visual signs of inflammation, both of which may signal the onset of certain conditions, such as diabetic foot ulcers. It is comprised of the Delta Foot Scanner (DFS) device and its accompanying Sentinel Review Interface (SRI) software. The Covid-19 pandemic has driven the need for remote patient care where possible. Although this is challenging for people with foot ulcers, prevention is the key. Remote thermovisual monitoring might help reduce recurrent foot ulcers and therefore the number of necessary hospital visits which always puts the patient at increased risk of Covid infection.
Comparison the mean healing time of wound after vacuum assisted closure(VAC) versus conventional dressing(CD) in diabetic foot ulcer(DFU) patients. DFUs are chronic wounds in diabetics resulting from ischemia, angiogenesis defects and impaired immunity. Different treatment modalities are available for treating DFUs. Amongst them VAC provides a new paradigm for diabetic wound dressing. Different studies concluded that DFUs treated with VAC are more likely to heal than CD. The average healing time varies greatly among different studies conducted. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare the mean healing time of wound after VAC and CD in DFU patients. Based on these results, the method with lesser healing time can be opted for our routine practice guidelines for DFU patient's management protocol.
The primary objective is to explore the mechanistic role of ON101 cream in healing diabetic foot ulcers by determining the molecular targets of ON101 cream. Primary endpoint: Percentage change from baseline in the expression level of individual target gene(s) at protein and/or mRNA level. Secondary endpoints: 1. Comparison of the gene and/or protein expression level of individual target between ON101 and Placebo groups 2. Change from baseline in the wound microbiota composition in each group 3. Comparison of the wound microbiota composition between ON101 and Placebo groups 4. Comparison of the wound reduction rate in each group 5. Correlation of wound reduction rate with the alternated level of each target gene in each group. Safety endpoints: Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse event (AE) Change from baseline in vital signs, physical examination, and laboratory tests
The purpose of the following prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to compare synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata®, Acera Surgical, Inc.) with standard of care in treating diabetic foot ulcers in human subjects.
