Active clinical trials for "Foot Ulcer"

Procenta® has been successful in facilitating closure of non-healing diabetic ulcers in patients where proper wound care management/practice has failed along with other allo- and xenografts. In each individual case study where diabetes mellitus was pathological, unique wound morphologies with high variability in all three dimensions showed significant progress or were fully closed after at least one application of Procenta®. In the present study, the investigators seek to investigate the efficacy of the product over a 90-day treatment time-course with a larger sample size of patients suffering from non-healing wounds due to diabetes mellitus types I or II (diabetes mellitus). As a result, the investigators hope to better understand the potential and limitations of the product under these conditions with the anticipation that a significant number of patients will recover, avoid amputation, and return to a normal daily life.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of diabetes with global prevalence of 6.3%. Treatment of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is challenging with disappointing outcome. Wound debridement, infection control, pressure relief and revascularization are main pillars of DFU management. Various substances and modalities are being investigated for their potential effects in treating DFU, one of which is LL-37. In this randomized, controlled trial, 40 patients with uncomplicated DFU will be enrolled. Patients are randomly assigned to undergo twice a week treatment with 0.5 mg/mL LL-37 cream (treatment group) or placebo cream (control group) for 4 weeks in addition to standard wound care. The primary outcomes are the healing rate measured by wound area and granulation index and changes in patterns of aerobic bacteria colonization during the 4-week study duration and changes in concentrations of IL-α and TNF-α from fluid collected from DFU on the end of the second and third week of study compared to baseline.

Hypothesis:Surgical treatment of osteomyelitis in diabetic foot is more effective that medical treatment through antibiotherapy and leads wound healing in ulcers complicated with bone infection.Material and Methods: Randomized clinical trials which include two groups of patients (n=88), one receives medical treatment through antibiotherapy during 90 days and the other group receive conservative surgical treatment and antibiotics during 7 days after surgery. It will be studied differences between both groups in healing time, recidives, present and relationship of adverse events and outflow of quality of life related health .

The aim of this Clinical Proof of Principle study is to evaluate the effect of BBR-012 on the healing of complicated diabetic foot ulcers.

A randomized, controlled pilot study examining how cellular energetics related to various wound treatment therapies in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

Objective: to compare the effectiveness of irremovable total contact casts and custom made temporary footwear to heal neuropathic foot ulcerations in individuals with diabetes

The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of shockwave treatment combined with standard-of-care treatment, to standard-of-care treatment alone to induce healing of a chronic plantar foot ulcer in subjects with diabetes mellitus. For the purpose of this study, the definition of plantar foot ulcer is a wound or open sore that involves the plantar(bottom) aspect of the foot, and the definition of chronic is a duration of 6 weeks or greater with a lack of response to treatment.

This study seeks to establish the effect of adding exercise to off-loading interventions on the healing time for people with diabetes mellitus and a foot ulcer. Hypothesis: Consistent with the literature, results are expected to resemble the accelerated healing seen when older adults exercised in the presence of wounds.

To determine the efficacy of full-thickness placental allograft in chronic wound healing

The investigators aimed to elucidate the effects of ultrasound debridement on the area and healing of diabetic foot ulcers compared to their conventional treatment.
