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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a skin graft (called NeoThelium FT) to see if it helps heal venous leg ulcers faster when used with standard compression therapy. It might help you if you have a hard-to-heal leg ulcer that hasn't improved much with usual care.
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 gel that may help heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein circulation. The gel is applied directly to the wound and aims to trigger natural healing processes in the skin.
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.
This study tests a new device that delivers oxygen to the wound area (topical wound oxygen therapy) to help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by vein disease. It may help people who have not seen enough healing with compression therapy alone.
