Extra hyperbaric oxygen after leg amputation wounds heal
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving extra treatments with hyperbaric (pressure) oxygen after a leg amputation can improve healing or recovery. It’s meant for people whose amputation happened due to long-lasting infection or poor blood flow and who can attend follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a lower-leg/leg amputation because of a long-term wound, bone infection, poor blood flow, or dead tissue
- A specialist (an anesthesiologist or hyperbaric medicine doctor) says you’re medically fit for hyperbaric oxygen
- You can cooperate with treatment and attend follow-up appointments
- Your amputation surgery was recently—within 7 days after your final surgery
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have dementia

This trial tests whether adding both psychological support and physical therapy check-ins before and after leg amputation improves recovery and rehab planning. It may help patients feel better and regain function during the transition to rehabilitation care.
This study follows adults with very poor blood flow to the foot or leg (with wounds or severe pain) who are having a revascularization procedure to improve circulation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after treatment and improve care for people with critical limb ischemia.
This trial is testing whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with diabetes who have a foot ulcer that is not healing well.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen at normal pressure can help people with severe, long-lasting lack of blood flow in their legs. It may offer a way to improve oxygen delivery to the leg and possibly avoid amputation.
This study tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber) to standard surgery improves healing of bone infections (fracture-related infections) in the leg. It may help if you have an ongoing infection after a broken leg bone.
This study looks at whether using leg compression and a CO2 laser after lower-leg wound surgery helps wounds heal better. You may be a candidate if you have a sizeable lower-leg wound that will be treated with a specific type of surgical healing plan.
