Electrical bandage for chronic wound treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new bandage that uses a mild electrical current to help heal chronic wounds. It's for veterans with spinal cord injuries or diabetes who have wounds that haven't healed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a chronic wound that hasn't healed
- You are a veteran receiving care at LSCVAMC
- You have a spinal cord injury or diabetes, or are a long-term care resident

This study looks at whether a small device that stimulates nerves can improve blood flow and leg health in Veterans who have either diabetes-related nerve damage or a leg amputation. It aims to help with circulation and overall limb function.
This trial tests a new 'smart' bandage that sends information to your care team from your home, compared with a regular bandage and standard follow-up visits. The hope is that this smart bandage can help heal your vein-related leg ulcer faster by catching problems early.
This trial tests a special 'electroceutical' dressing that uses low-level electrical signals to help heal infected traumatic wounds. It may help people with wounds that are not healing well and show signs of infection.
This trial tests a smart compression bandage that uses sensors to help heal venous leg ulcers. It may help people whose ulcers have not healed with standard compression therapy.
This trial tests three different electrical stimulation foot pad programs to see how they affect blood flow in the legs of healthy adults. It may help improve leg health by using mild electrical pulses on the feet.
This study tests a skin-measurement method (bioimpedance) to monitor how venous leg ulcers heal while using standard compression therapy. It may help the study team track healing sooner and more accurately so treatment can be adjusted if needed.
