Active clinical trials for "Foot Ulcer"

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic foot ulcer will be recruited and screened for participation in the study. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to either experimental or control group and undergo 10-weeks of treatment (as an addition to standard care) and 4 weeks of follow-up to evaluate the effect of chitosan gel on chronic wound (diabetic foot ulcer) healing.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with octenisept® or placebo in patients with chronic leg ulcers. The study will be conducted at a single center with a total of 70 patients. Patients will be randomized to either the octenisept® group or to the placebo group.

You are being asked to take part in this study because your doctor has determined that you have an ischemic foot ulcer. This research study will compare two approved standard of care treatment modalities for the management of ischemic foot ulcers. The ischemic foot ulcer (wound) on your foot is a result of a blocked artery in your leg. The wound can sometimes be healed with wound care alone, which includes dressing changes with creams and removing (debriding) the dead tissue. Alternatively, the significant narrowing or blockage in one of the arteries in your leg can be treated with several endovascular treatment techniques including: angioplasty, also called percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and/or stent placement atherectomy The hypothesis of this study is that early endovascular or surgical intervention in subjects with moderate arterial insufficiency and a non-healing foot ulcer results in a higher overall incidence of wound healing in a significantly shorter period of time.

The primary objective is to: Assess the effect of the Non-adherent study dressing to 3M Tegaderm Matrix Dressing with PHI technology on wound healing in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer. Secondary objectives are to: Assess the adverse events that occur in subjects randomized to the investigational dressing in comparison to subjects randomized to the Tegaderm Matrix Dressing with PHI technology. Assess the costs of using the investigational dressing compared to the Tegaderm Matrix Dressing with PHI technology. Assess and compare the impact that these dressings have on patients' quality of life. Assess the wound's biological response and pH to the study dressings.

This trial is designed to investigate the therapeutic benefits of using BST-DermOn for the wound repair of diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BST-DermOn in providing a clinically significant advantage over the standard of care in the repair of diabetic foot ulcers.

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and side effects, if any, of Dermal - LSR combined with standard treatment. We hypothesize the treatment will provide beneficial results for diabetic patients suffering foot ulcers.

This study will examine differences in the process of wound-healing in patients treated with platelet rich plasma (a concentration of proteins derived from a patients own blood) applied to the wound as a gel; injected into the wound or surrounding tissue; or both; compared to patients treated with usual medical treatment . This study seeks to enroll patients who are 18 or older with a non-healing skin wound that is at least 30 days old. Only patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Venous Ulcers, or Pressure Ulcers will be included in the study.

After determining if subjects meet the criteria to be included in the study they will be randomly placed in either Group 1 or 2 and patient will be blinded from randomization group. Subjects will walk across a pressure plate to determine different areas of high pressure under the foot. This will be done before the INTEGRA application and at every other follow-up visit. Both groups will be debrided and have pictures taken in the OR Group 1 will have Integra Flowable Wound Matrix applied onto the wound in the OR and Group 2 will have the Integra Flowable Wound Matrix applied onto the wound and injected subcutaneously in the OR. Subjects will be placed in a total contact cast at each visit. If wound healing occurs prior to 12 weeks, a final assessment visit will be done and the status of the healed ulcer will be assessed.

The purpose of this reseach study is to determine Mölnlycke Health Care´s Leia dressing performance properties is fulfilled and that the dressing is safe when used on wound types such as pressure ulcer, leg ulcer, and diabetic foot ulcer.

One of the common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) is Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU), which can subsequently lead to infections, gangrene, amputation or even death, if necessary care is not taken to curb with the condition. Despite the rapid advancements in the medical industry, diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is considered as a major factor of morbidity and a leading cause of hospitalizations among diabetic patients. The risk of ulcer progression that may ultimately lead to amputation is elevated upon the development of DFU. It is estimated that DFU contributes approximately 50-70% of all lower limb amputations. In addition to rendering emotional and physical distress, DFU is also responsible for causing productivity and financial losses that lower the quality of life. The economic burden of the patients is further aggravated by the medical expenditure involved in the healing of DFU and/or lower extremity amputation. This study focuses on usage of a modern primary wound dressing in managing diabetic foot ulcer. The primary dressing used in this study is an activated carbon cloth dressing, which is applied directly to the wound bed and the "holes" in the net give access to the activated carbon which is made up of millions of micropores and within the walls of these micro pores, there is presence of electrostatic forces known as Van der Waals forces, which helps to trap and kill microorganisms such as MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, the dressings can regulate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are responsible for prolonged inflammation in chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers, and able to promote fibroblast migration and accelerate granulation tissue growth via its conductivity.
