Effect of Photobiomodulation With Polarized Light on wound healing and aerobic microflora in Diabetic Foot Ulcer
The objective of this study is to determine if patients with lower extremity wounds in rural communities who undergo specialty referral through telemedicine have expedited care compared to patients who are treated through standard in person referral.
The primary objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of a Facebook group-based program to support adults with diabetes in their foot self-care and prevention of foot ulcers. The sub-objectives are: 1. To determine the recruitment and retention rate of participants in the study. 2. To assess the acceptability of the Facebook group program among participants. 3. To determine the level and pattern of engagement by the participants within the Facebook group platform. 4. To determine the efficacy of the Facebook group program and how it works to improve diabetic foot care-related outcomes.
Study in adult Diabetes Mellitus patients with diabetic foot ulcers and elevated HbA1c who will receive standard wound treatment in combination with adjuvant therapy WF10 to compare the change of HbA1c levels at baseline and after treatment.
One of the only evidence-based practices for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence is once-daily foot temperature monitoring, which is recommended by multiple clinical practice guidelines for high-risk patients, including those with history of foot ulcers. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the use of once-daily foot temperature monitoring to reduce the occurrence and recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers and reduce total health care utilization for diabetic patients with a foot ulcer that has healed in the past 24 months.
The impacts from diabetes are both patient related and healthcare based. Offloading is recognised as the priority treatment for healing neuropathic and neuro-ischaemic plantar foot ulcers. The new PulseFlow DF boot is a device which claims to off load but has little or no evidence on diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) subjects. Thus the primary aim of this study is to observe forefoot plantar pressures in a cross sectional purposively selected sample compared to usual standard of care.
The study aims to assess foot complications among patients with diabetes in Canada, using patient data collected during diabetes foot assessments performed by the LMC Chiropody Team between February 27, 2018 and April 17, 2019.
Diabetic and venous ulcers affect many people, and severe cases can end up in amputation and even death because of infection. In 2011, the total cost for care of diabetic foot ulcers alone, to the Canadian health care system, was $547 million. Standard clinical care for these types of wounds has improved but there is still a great need for new wound care treatments to help speed up wound healing and reduce pain. One such treatment is high intensity LED light therapy. There is a long history of light therapy showing faster wound healing, reduced pain and reduced swelling. The research we propose here is to study a new high intensity LED light made by Kerber Applied Research Inc., to see if it reduces pain and speeds up healing lower leg ulcers. This research is a partnership between Kerber Applied Research Inc and the Lethbridge Lower Limb Wound Clinic, an Alberta Health Services program in Lethbridge, Alberta.
This is a two-part phase 1/2A study performed in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients with chronic non-healing wounds to investigate the safety and efficacy of AUP1602-C.
