Active clinical trials for "Varicose Ulcer"

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of TruSkin® and an Active Comparator in patients with chronic venous leg ulcers.

This is a study to compare the healing process of venous stasis ulcers when the Flexitouch® system is added to the standard treatment of venous ulcers. We hypothesize that adding the Flexitouch® system to standard venous ulcer treatment will result in greater complete healing greater percentage reduction in ulcer area reduced time to complete healing, as compared to the use of standard treatment alone a greater reduction in affected leg volume as compared to standard treatment alone.

This investigation plans to initiate the healing of chronic wounds by providing a concentrated platelet and growth factor therapy directly to the wound site by topical delivery. This therapy will be derived from autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP), an emerging surgical and wound care treatment. This investigation aims to demonstrate that patients with chronic, non-healing wounds treated with autologous PRP and standard medical care have a reduction in wound volume and improved healing rate that results in patient-centered clinically significant health outcomes as compared to patients treated with standard medical care only.

Objective of this study are to compare the interface pressure by applying ordinary elastic bandage (OEB) and CPG-EB. In addition, investigators compared the percentage of patients who could apply the optimal pressure with OEB and CPG-EB.

Venous leg ulcers (VLU) are the most common leg ulcer, can be painful, and limit work, lifestyles and activity, especially in older patients. Compression bandaging is the main treatment but there are few added treatments for patients with slow healing VLU. About 50% of patients with VLU may be slow healing. Research suggests using keratin dressings as well as using compression may help healing in patients with show healing VLU, but the current evidence is not enough to change clinical practice. The investigators will conduct a randomised controlled trial to test whether using keratin dressings is better than usual care for slow healing VLU.

This is a single-center prospective study with a planned accrual of 35 patients with diagnosed symptomatic Lower Limb Veins System (Superficial, Perforating) Insufficiency (including recurrence at the thigh/groin level after previous treatment). The eligible patients must present a symptomatic Leg Veins System Insufficiency diagnosis which fulfills the inclusion/exclusion criteria. All patients will be consented at a Pre-Study Visit and evaluated for eligibility and for baseline characteristics of the disease. Patients will return to clinic on a separate day for the HIFU treatment. Device performance parameters will be collected during the HIFU visit. At follow-up visits at 3 days, 7 days and 3 months, changes in veins and flow characteristics will be evaluated by ultrasound and physical exam, and patient well-being, including pain and anxiety, will be evaluated by patient-reported VAS evaluations. Continued follow-up for a total of 3 months will be completed prior to subject study exit. Adverse events (AE) will be assessed at every study visit following HIFU treatment. An interim Safety Report will be issued after the first 5 patients will arrive at the 7 days visit and will be provided to the Ethics Committee. A second report will be issued once the first 5 patients will complete the follow-up period of 30 days and will be also provided to the Ethics Committee.

Eight weeks, comprised of four weeks Run-in Phase of Standard Care (SC) treatment followed by four weeks of treatment allocated by randomisation (Treatment Phase). To compare two daily geko™ device treatment durations, six hours and 12 hours, in conjunction with SC, with each other and to SC alone, in patients with venous leg ulcers

In venous ulcer, venous insufficiency is accompanied by lymphatic insufficiency. Manual lymphatic drainage (mld) technique cause to increase contraction rate of lymphatic collector and venous flow. It is known that Manual lymphatic drainage accelerates microcirculation, enabling nutrients and oxygen to reach tissues and at the same time removing residual substances from the tissue. We hypothesis that if we inrease to lypmhatic activity with MLD, we could stimulate healing of ulcer. The aim of this study to investigate the effect of manual lymphatic drainage on venous ulcer healing.

The study is a prospective, single arm, multicenter efficacy study, consisting of 60 subjects who will complete the study (note: if any patients are lost to follow-up or withdrawn, enrollment will increase to compensate for loss of these subjects). The subjects will receive up to 16 RD1 applications. In case of complete healing, subject will be called for one confirmatory visit two weeks later or before discharge from the SNF (the earlier of the two). Subject data will be kept in each site's records. All diabetic subjects' glycemic management will be performed by a qualified physician. All subjects will have wound care specialist or wound surgeon or dermatologist involved in their wound care

This is a prospective, randomised, open label, controlled pilot study to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the ReCell Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (ReCell) for the management of chronic leg ulcers associated with venous insufficiency. Outcome will be compared between study participants receiving standard care (debridement, compression therapy) and participants receiving ReCell in addition to standard care.
