Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

This observational cohort study aims to develop a novel risk stratification system implementing biomechanics to aid in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of a Smart Foot Mat for signals associated with diabetic foot ulcers in high-risk patients.

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of sole sensation on peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, balance and physical activity level in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

The purpose of this study is to see whether the use of AMNIOEXCEL® improves healing and reduces the need to cut off all or part of a leg (amputation) in high-risk patients who have diabetes and foot sores (also sometimes called ulcers or wounds).

An open, non-randomised longitudinal study of diabetic foot ulcers receiving standardised treatment, over a 16 week period conducted at out-patient level, utilising novel optical wound measurement technologies.

To evaluate a recently developed non-invasive infrared thermal camera called Diabetic Foot Ulcer Prevention System (DFUPS) in a clinical setting by studying healthy volunteers.

Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the most frequent complications in type 2 diabetic patients. The present work is carried out with the objective of evaluating the use of DIamel combined with insulin in diabetic foot ulcers. Method. Phase II clinical trial. A study group was created that receives the active product and another control group that receives a placebo. Double-blind study with a monthly follow-up for the first 6 months and then quarterly until the end of 1 year. Complementary tests are performed every 6 months to evaluate metabolic, lipid and renal function control.

Diabetes is a frequent and serious disease, with many complications. Diabetic foot ulcers are a frequent complication. Infection of diabetic foot ulcers is common, and requires heavy medical and/or surgical treatments. Antibiotherapy is one of the main options for the treatment of the diabetic foot ulcers, but it has many side effects. The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of medical treatments, in this population of patients.

This study will assess the ability of MIRODERM to heal difficult diabetic foot ulcers within 12 weeks of treatment.

Context and hypothesis: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus keeps going to increase, due to the ageing of the population and the high prevalence of overweight and obesity. Thus about 5% of the French population is said to have diabetes according to the national health insurance reimbursement data estimations. 15 to 20% of diabetic patients will have a foot chronic ulcer in their lifetime. Nowadays, diabetes is still the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in France, amputation being very often preceded by a trophic disorder. Thus, the person with diabetes has a 7-fold risk of amputation. For the year 2013, in France, incidence rates of hospitalizations for lower limb amputations and foot wounds in the diabetic population were 252/100000 and 668/100000 respectively. In an attempt to prevent the risk of foot wounds in people with diabetes, the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has established foot grades associated with an increased risk of foot wounds. These grades are now used by health authorities to calibrate their care offer such as reimbursements for podiatry care. Chronic kidney disease is one of the major complications of diabetes. In 2013, according to data from the French registry (REIN), 4,856 diabetics started renal replacement therapy in 2016, representing 46% of the newly dialyzed population. This represents a relative risk 9.2 times higher than in the general population. The Investigators hypothesize that beyond the risk of wound, there is a link between the stage of chronic renal disease and the risk of foot ulcer grade as defined by the IWGDF. The link between chronic renal disease and this common marker of foot risk has never been studied to our knowledge. The long-term objective, beyond this study, is to improve patient pathways and thus improve the prevention of foot wounds in diabetics with renal insufficiency. This is all the more true since prevention actions in the dialysis population have already shown their effectiveness on a large scale on the risk of amputation. Protocol : All patients with a diabetes mellitus who consult diabetology and nephrology services at the Montpellier University Hospital will be included in this study. The consultation wil be the same as usual. The Investigators will ask for the history of diabetes, the history of complications, the current treatments and the Investigators will make a standardized clinical examination of feet with a foot risk gradation according to the IWGDF.The investigators will report the standard biologicals values.
