Study of why wounds heal poorly in diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at what makes some surgical wounds heal slowly, especially in people with diabetes. The goal is to understand the healing problem better so future treatments can be more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a wound that has lasted more than 4 weeks
- The wound is a surgical wound in an adult

This study collects information on various wound types and how they respond to standard care. It aims to learn what works best for wounds that haven't healed after 4 weeks of treatment.
This study looks at how genes and “chemical tags” on cells may contribute to chronic wounds that don’t heal. Your information and possibly samples from the largest wound could help researchers understand why ulcers last so long.
This study tests a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see if the therapy helps these ulcers heal better and faster.
This study looks at fluid and biofilm (a layer of bacteria) in chronic wounds that are not healing well. It aims to understand why some wounds heal slowly and may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at what factors affect outcomes in adults with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help doctors better predict healing and complications by better understanding what influences progress.
This trial tests a surgery that uses a special technique to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. The surgery may help your foot heal and avoid more serious problems.
