Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

Study will evaluate the use of lower-limb assistive exo-skeletons worn on the ankle and foot. Participants will wear the exo-skeletons and walk in a safe environment. Measurements will be taken to determine how the exo-skeletons affect the pressure on the feet of people with diabetic foot ulcer and how they walk.

A clinical study at the Baylor College of Medicine, Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, is being proposed to test the efficacy of a novel electrical stimulation platform named the Tennant Biomodulator designed by AVAZZIA to accelerate wound healing, relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

A randomized, balanced, open label, crossover, two period, two treatment, two sequence, single dose, oral bioequivalence study under fasting condition. It is a pivotal study to demonstrate the bioequivalence of Metformin 850 mg tablets manufactured by Savipharm J.S.C, Vietnam and Glucophage® 850 mg tablets of Merck Sante, France, in healthy adult human male subjects under fasting condition.

Comparison and evaluation of pressure distribution, gait pattern, changes in the movement of the center of pressure, shock absorbing capabilities and comfort of wear using KyBoot shoes versus normal foot wear in diabetic and healthy subjects.

Physical training is one of the cornerstones within the treatment of diabetes, as well as medicine and diet modification, and the effect is well documented. Nevertheless people with diabetes with foot ulcers are urged to lessen their level of physical activity, to reduce pressure on footbed and thereby achieve fastest possible healing. Purpose: The primarily purpose is to investigate the feasibility of implementing safe, progressive resistance training, combined with exercises for ankle mobility and aerobic training, for people with diabetes and foot ulcers, without compromising the ulcer. The secondarily purpose is to investigate whether this form of training is effective on improving muscle strength, as to if limitations in everyday life diminishes. The hypothesis is, that it is possible to implement a structured exercise program without compromising the diabetic ulcer.

Diabetic foot is defined by World Health Organization as a syndrome in which the presence of neuropathy, ischemia and infection cause tissue damage or ulcers from minor trauma. This condition can be controlled in its early stages with conservative treatment, which is effective in preventing infections and amputations. However, even with the new knowledge acquired and the development of new therapies, the specialist often faces wounds that do not improve despite the proper treatment, so therapies have been sought to help the healing of these Ulcers. Growing evidence suggests that healing of chronic diabetic foot ulcers depends on growth factors and that the therapeutic use of these in wounds has the potential to accelerate their healing in conjunction with wound care Conventional. This study evaluates the effect of plasma rich in autologous growth factors on healing chronic ulcers of diabetic origin. This is a randomized clinical trial that evaluates two study groups. Control group in which advanced weekly healing will be performed while the post-advanced healing study group will be performed the intradermal application of plasma rich in growth factors. These manoeuvres will be performed once a week for four weeks and at the end of the study the results in both groups will be checked. Both groups will also evaluate, frequency and intensity of pain, quality of life, histological changes in ulcers and metabolic evaluation

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of auricular autonomous nervous system stimulation on vital parameters of wound healing in diabetics. It is investigated if auricular vagal nerve stimulation has an effect on heart rate variability as well as peripheral local blood perfusion, and if this effect depends on the health status of the study participants (diseased/healthy).

The vascular pathologic basis of diabetic foot include arterial obstruction and micro-circulation defects.The latest technology of arterial reconstruction can only rebuild blood flow of anterior,posterior tibial artery and peroneal artery.Endothelial progenitor cells have been proved to integrate into damaged vascular endothelium and improve vasculogenesis in vitro and in animal experiment.Therefore endothelial progenitor cells are supposed to improve the micro-circulation status of diabetic foot patients.In this trial,the investigators recuit diabetic foot patients with infrapopliteal arterial obstructive disease,treat them with autologous endothelial progenitor cells after intraluminal intervention,and observe the therapeutic efficacy comparing to single intraluminal intervention.

ABSOLVE Biologic Wound Matrix is a combination of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB homodimer (rhPDGF-BB) and a bovine type I collagen wound dressing matrix. ABSOLVE is under development for the treatment of chronic and acute wounds. This study investigates the safety and efficacy of ABSOLVE in chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
