Active clinical trials for "Leg Ulcer"

This investigation is a Post Marketing Follow-Up Study for Mepilex XT conducted as part of Mölnlycke Health Care's quality system. The primary objective is to evaluate the performance of the dressing when used as intended on exuding Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs) in the inflammatory and granulating stages of the wound healing process.

The overall study objective is to use microarray technology to identify and characterize the gene expression of multiple relevant genes in biopsies of non-healing venous ulcers.

Compare Autologous Platelet Enriched Gel versus Metalloproteinase Inhibitor in the healing of chronic lower leg ulcers.

The use of PRP has dramatically increased in the fields of orthopedics, spine surgery, reconstructive plastic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dermatological indications. Nonetheless, its use in the treatment of wounds is not as widespread as in other fields. In this experimental study, the treatment outcome of autologous PRP was assessed in comparison to conventional therapy among patients with chronic venous leg ulcers.

Arterio-venous leg ulcers are real problems when it comes to public health because it has a major cost and leads to social and professional handicap. The management of leg ulcers is not clear and can be venous compression or surgery. The aim of the study is to evaluate the variation of the transcutaneous oxygen with compression. The second aim is to see how tolerate is the compression and the quality of life.

Diabetes education and self-management support can be delivered via mobile phones. This protocol aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Well Feet, a conversational agent, as a diabetic foot care companion. By utilizing feedback and responses to evaluative questions posted on the app's interface, the investigators intend to examine the app's technical, functional, and operational feasibility.

The aim of this study was to evaluate comparatively the efficiency of traditional treatment methods in patients with chronic venous diseases of C6 class, and a new combined low level laser therapy (LLLT) by LASMIK device. The results of outpatient examination and treatment of patients with venous trophic ulcers, observed in the City Polyclinic of "Tula Municipal Clinical Hospital №2" were analyzed.

Adequate analgesia in serial chronic leg ulcer debridement can be difficult to achieve. A common analgesia method is the topical administration of local anesthetics directly onto the wound. However, complete wound debridement is often hampered by insufficient analgesia leading to interruption of the actual debridement and fragmentation of treatment into more frequent serial debridement sessions. Alternatively, the inhalation of an nitrous oxide/oxygen (N2O/O2) gas premix could be used for analgesia. In this study, the investigators have compared the analgesic method of an eutectic mixture of topically administered lidocaine/prilocaine cream (EMLA®) with the inhalation of an equimolar 50% N2O/50% O2 gas premix (Kalinox®) in serial leg ulcer debridement.

The purpose of the study is to assess treatment tolerance and comfort in chronic VLUs after 4 weeks of treatment using a dual action pneumatic compression device.

Based upon the in-vitro data AQUACEL® Extra™ achieves a 39% increase in absorbency. As such it is anticipated that through improved exudate management a longer wear time will be achieved in the AQUACEL® Extra™ group compared to AQUACEL® in the management of chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers.
