This trial tests if adding a special placenta-based wound covering to standard care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. It's for people with wounds that haven't healed after standard treatment for at least 4 weeks.
This study tests whether guided exercises that keep weight off your ulcer can speed healing of diabetic foot ulcers. It may help reduce pressure on the wound while monitoring safety and progress over the study.
This study checks whether special imaging of your feet—using light/temperature pictures—can help sort your risk for developing a diabetic foot ulcer. It may help identify people who need closer prevention or foot care.
This study uses noninvasive (no major procedures) tests to better understand how diabetic foot ulcers or infections are healing. It may help doctors choose better ways to support wound healing in people with diabetes.
This study uses a special ultrasound (like a sound wave camera) to see blood flow in foot sores caused by diabetes. It may help doctors understand the tiny blood vessels in your foot ulcer.
This study collects thermal (heat) images of the feet of people with diabetes who have had a healed foot ulcer. The goal is to see if these images can help prevent future foot problems.
