A gel for hard-to-heal chronic wounds
This study tests a new gel and applicator for chronic wounds that are hard to heal, like bed sores, diabetic foot ulcers, and leg ulcers. The goal is to see if the gel helps wounds heal safely.

Testing a wound dressing for various chronic and acute wounds
This trial is testing a special dressing (Vliwazell Prowound) for many kinds of wounds, including diabetic ulcers, burns, and surgical wounds that heal slowly.

Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06236750Recruiting
Testing a human tissue wound covering for hard-to-heal ulcers
This study is testing a special wound covering made from donated human tissue (amnion/chorion membrane) to see if it helps heal stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. The covering is placed on the wound to help it heal.
Kobe, HyōgoAges Any age - NCT06424561Recruiting
Psychological support for wound surgery recovery
This study tests whether talking with a mental health professional helps adults feel better and recover more smoothly after surgery for hard-to-heal wounds. It is for patients who are getting VSD (vacuum-assisted drainage) surgery.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06899113Recruiting
Comparing a new imaging device to standard blood flow tests
This trial tests a new camera that uses light to check blood flow in your legs. It compares the camera's results to standard tests like ABI and Doppler ultrasound to see if it works as well.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07498218RecruitingPhase 1
Studying VELGRAFT for diabetic foot ulcers

Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05417737Recruiting
Ozone therapy for chronic pain when standard treatments fail
This study offers a palliative (comfort-focused) ozone treatment to adults with chronic pain when usual treatments don’t work or are too risky. Researchers will check whether adding ozone can help symptoms and whether it’s safe for selected patients.
Las Palmas, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - NCT05491577Recruiting

Comparing wound healing products for hard-to-heal pressure ulcers
This trial tests if special wound dressings (called cellular, acellular, or matrix-like products) can help heal severe pressure ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It may be a good option if you have a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer on your lower back or tailbone area that's been there for at least a month.
