Active clinical trials for "Varicose Ulcer"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and the safety of the new compression system URGO BD001 in the management of venous or mixed predominantly venous leg ulcers. The therapeutic efficacy will be the reduction in wound surface area during a six weeks study treatment period.

The study is conducted to assess the effects of immediately started foam sclerotherapy in venous ulcer compared to early intervention.

The goals of this series of studies is to test the effect of RIC on chronic leg ulcers (Diabetic ulcers and venous ulcers) - and to improve the understanding of its biological mechanism. This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, shame procedure-controlled study.

This study will compare the proportion of patients who have wound closure within 12 weeks as well as the time to wound closure in patients receiving Artacent™ versus standard of care for treatment of non-healing lower extremity wounds. The recurrence of healed wounds will be assessed at 6 months via a telephone survey

To assess the efficacy of the PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix and compare its performance with usual and customary practice for the treatment of chronic non-healing venous leg ulcers (VLU).

Leg and foot ulcers due to venous disease or diabetes are chronic wounds that can take 6 or more months to heal. Growth factors have been used to try and improve this healing, however, many such studies have failed, and that is thought to be due enzymes in the wound that degrade the growth factors and prevent them from working. This is a proof of concept study that will evaluate the treatment of chronic leg ulcers with topically applied growth factors that are combined with a therapy to prevent their inactivation in the wound.

The aim of this study is to determine the percentage of healing of active venous ulcers following Terminal Axial Perforator Interruption Reflux Source (tapirs technique) and adjustable compression system versus a control group using the traditional multilayer bandages.

Indication: Subjects with chronic venous leg ulcers Primary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of bio-electrical stimulation therapy in the healing of chronic venous leg ulcers Secondary Objective(s): To evaluate the percentage of wound healing every two weeks To evaluate the complete ulcer healing every two weeks To evaluate the time to complete ulcer healing To evaluate the recurrence rate at the end of the follow-up period To evaluate pain To evaluate the quality of life Study Design and Treatment Scheme: This is a Kingfisher Healthcare NV sponsored, national, multicenter, randomized, prospective study in which data will be collected of subjects with chronic venous leg ulcers receiving standardized conventional therapy (SCT). Subjects will be randomized into two groups receiving SCT + placebo or SCT + bio-electrical stimulation therapy (BEST) to evaluate the effect of BEST on the wound healing process. Patients answering the eligibility criteria will receive standardized conventional therapy during 4 weeks before actual study start and will then again be evaluated on eligibility according to wound healing rate. Only patients with a wound surface that has not significantly changed (both increased or decreased) will be randomized in the treatment period. During the treatment period patients will receive SCT with placebo or SCT in combination with bio-electrical stimulation therapy on a daily basis for two hours, during 8 weeks. Patients will be in follow-up period for a maximum of 8 weeks after treatment period.

There will be different effects for different laser wavelengths in treatment of venous ulcer.

This study will compare the efficacy of using standard compression therapy for treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers vs. the standard compression therapy with the additional use of the application of a human allograft (Theraskin)
