Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Foot"

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of NATROX™ Topical Oxygen Wound Therapy for subjects with non-healing foot ulceration. Subjects will be treated with standard care for 4 weeks. If the wound is not reduced by more than 40%, NATROX™ will be applied for the next 12 weeks. Throughout the study period, wound measurements will be taken to measure wound reduction.

This is an open-label follow up study to evaluate the safety for the subjects with ALLO-ASC-DFU treatment in phase 1 clinical trial (ALLO-ASC-DFU-101) for 23 months.

This study evaluates the effects of a physiotherapy protocol (manual therapy and exercise) in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers in patients with diabetic neuropathy. A group of participants will receive a physiotherapy protocol added to their usual medical treatment and the other group will not receive physiotherapy treatment.

This is a follow-up study to evaluate the safety for the subjects with ALLO-ASC-DFU treatment in phase 3 clinical trial (ALLO-ASC-DFU-301) for 24 months

The study explores the role of health messages (narrative, non-narrative vs. control condition [no message]) to enhance good foot care practices among people with diabetes and the general population.

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.

This is a primary prevention study which aims to assess reduction in the rate of diabetic foot ulcers in patients with high-risk diabetic feet using 3D printed insoles compared to standard care

Patients with diabetes should be thoroughly examined before they are provided with insoles and shoes. In the study the feet are examined with the help of a new software, the D-Foot. D-Foot includes questions and surveys. The aim of the of the study is evaluate how the patients experience the visit at the department of Prosthetics & Orthotics based on the digital foot check.

Abstract Objective To verify cutoff value of ankle brachial pressure index at which diabetic foot ulcers get benefit from vacuum assisted closure application and to assess impact of its application on ankle brachial pressure index value in the presence of peripheral arterial disease. Methods An observational descriptive prospective analytic study had been performed.56 patients were enrolled in the study. All patients had three sessions of vacuum-assisted closure application. Debridement was done when indicated. Ulcer dimensions were measured before and after each session, while ankle brachial pressure index was measured before the first session .

The current trial aims to compare the assessment of diabetic foot ulcers by fluorescence image guidance to standard practice. The device will be used to acquire fluorescence images of diabetic foot ulcers: when wounds are illuminated by violet/blue light, most pathogenic bacterial species emit a unique red fluorescence signal. The device is intended to be used as part of the clinical assessment process, which may include visual assessment, signs of heat or high temperature, the presence of exudate, and redness in the area. Images will guide the clinician to inspect, sample or further evaluate areas where fluorescing bacteria is present. This study will allow us to determine the benefit of fluorescence image-guided procedure as compared to standard clinical practice to assess bacterial burden in diabetic foot ulcers. Microbiological swabbing under standard practice and fluoresce-guided imaging will be performed in order to compare the two techniques.
