At-home laser treatment for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an at-home low-level laser can help diabetic foot ulcers heal. You may be able to do treatments yourself or with a caregiver, but you must meet specific wound, circulation, and safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a special light therapy (called photobiomodulation) on diabetic ulcers to see if it helps them heal and is easy to use. If you have a diabetic ulcer that isn't infected, this treatment could be an option for you.
This trial tests whether adding a special treatment (cellular acellular and matrix-like products) to standard wound care helps diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
This trial tests whether COMS One is safe and effective for healing a specific diabetic foot ulcer. It may help people whose ulcer is not healing well, especially when blood flow to the foot is limited.
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 tests whether shining a special infrared light on diabetic foot ulcers can help them heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that hasn't healed in 30 days.
This trial tests a new wound covering called NeoThelium FT to help diabetic foot ulcers heal. It is for people whose ulcer has not improved much with standard care and is not infected or too deep.
