Study of treatment for leg ulcers from weak leg veins
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at people with a healing or healing-worsening leg ulcer caused by weak veins (venous reflux). It may help improve care for this common type of ulcer and reduce time to healing by testing an approach for venous ulcers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can read and sign an informed consent form
- You have a venous leg ulcer that has been present for 1 month to 1 year
- An ultrasound test shows weak vein function (reflux lasting more than 0.5 seconds)
- You have enough blood flow in your arteries (for example, good pulse, or ankle-brachial index above 0.8, or toe pressure above 60 mmHg)
- Your ulcer is not from another cause (it must be venous, not other types of leg ulcers)

This trial tests a new wound dressing for leg ulcers. It aims to see if the dressing helps manage fluid and heal the ulcer better than standard care. You may be a candidate if you have a leg ulcer that needs compression therapy.
This study tests whether a near-infrared laser can improve healing and reduce pain in chronic venous leg ulcers. If you qualify, you may receive laser treatment and will be checked over time for wound healing and pain levels.
This study tests a new skin graft called NeoThelium FT to help heal venous leg ulcers (wounds on the lower leg caused by poor vein blood flow). It is for people whose ulcers haven't healed much with standard care in the last month.
This trial tests a new wound dressing called NeoThelium FT for healing venous leg ulcers. It looks at how safe and effective it is.
This trial studies how to best time two treatments—endovenous laser (laser therapy) and sclerotherapy (a medicine injected into the vein)—to treat varicose veins in the leg. It may help you get symptom relief more effectively by finding the optimal treatment schedule.
This study tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help heal leg ulcers caused by weak veins. If you have a non-infected venous leg ulcer that's been present for at least 6 weeks, this treatment might speed up healing.
