Active clinical trials for "Foot Ulcer"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether using the OWEMR as part of the standard of care for Diabetic Foot Ulcers reduces the rate of lower limb amputations and to quantify the relationship between glycemic control and the rate of amputation secondary to chronic foot ulcers in Type II Diabetes.

This study aims to develop and test a theory-based motivation communication training programme for healthcare professionals working with diabetic foot ulcer patients. The investigators will explore the acceptability of the training programme and examine whether the training leads to changes in healthcare professionals' communication style, and results in greater adherence to treatment recommendations (i.e., reduced weight-bearing) in patients.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse led intervention for high risk patients with diabetic foot ulceration and/or amputation. The effectiveness is defined in two ways 1) as a reduction in complication rates (time till ulceration recurrence, new ulcerations, amputation or reamputation) and 2) as a reduction in hospital readmissions for foot-related complication (one year survival probability: failure = readmission for ulceration recurrence, new ulcerations, amputation or re-amputation).

The aim of the study is to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater variability of wound measurements using the 3D camera and to compare with standard measurement methods (2D image method and gel injection). Forty-eight patients with wounds of various sizes are measured by four clinicians. Each wound is measured twice with the 3D camera, once by 2D image method and once by gel injection into wound cavity by two clinicians.

The TELEPIED project aims to show that it is possible to reduce the number of hospitalization days of a patient with ulcers of the foot thanks to a new organization of care, based on the intervention of a coordinating nurse interacting with the nurse in charge of the patient thanks to a telemedicine tool allowing the transfer of photos and ensuring itself a regular follow-up of the evolution of the wound and adapting the support nurse to the home if necessary. It is a monocenter, randomized, in parallel study, in 180 diabetic patients with ulcers of the foot. Patients included in the conventional group will be followed according to the usual practice Patients included in the "telepied" group will benefit from a personalized accompaniment by a nurse referring to diabetic foot ulcers who will guide and advise the nurse at home by acting by delegating tasks of the investigator. The patient will be visited by the referring nurse every 15 days. During these visits, the referring nurse will have the objective to evaluate the evolution of the ulcer as well as the care performed. This visit also allows a close personalized accompaniment for the patient, who will benefit from an education adapted to the characteristics of ulcer (discharge modalities for example ..) and its way of life. Every patients will be followed for one year (12 months).

This will be a continuing, prospective study of diabetic foot ulcers and infections, risk factors and clinical outcomes and a limited data set conducted by the investigator through the establishment of a data and tissue repository in the uT Southwestern Department of Plastic Surgery. in addition, subjects consented for this research will be asked about inclusion in a recruitment database to be used in the recruitment of subjects for future research on diabetic foot complications. about 250 patients are seen for diabetic foot ulcers and infections each year.

This is an open-label follow up study to evaluate the safety for the subjects with ALLO-ASC-DFU treatment in phase 2 clinical trial (ALLO-ASC-DFU-201) for 23 months.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and an increased risk of foot complications is seen in patients suffering from both DM and CKD. CKD and DM patients share a trilogy of risk factors that contribute to the development of foot ulcers. This trilogy consists of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), neuropathy and an increased susceptibility to infection with an impaired wound healing. Additionally, almost one quarter of adults with CKD have to cope with depression. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence and types of foot problems in a pre-dialysis population, consisting of both DM and non-DM patients. If possible, risk factors will be determined. The detrimental effects of poor kidney function and foot problems on the quality of life and the general health status will be analyzed. A higher prevalence of PAD, peripheral neuropathy and DM are expected in patients with foot problems compared to those without.

The aim of this study is to compare quality of life of diabetics with and without foot ulcer. Investigators will compare their quality of life based on the mental health impact of foot ulcer.

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.
