Non-weight-bearing exercise to help diabetic foot ulcers heal faster
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18+) and can sign and date consent
- You have type 2 diabetes (diagnosed or meeting diabetes criteria)
- You have a diabetic foot ulcer measuring more than 0.5 cm² and less than 12 cm², and it is not too close to another ulcer
- Your ulcer is mild to moderate (Wagner grade 1 or 2) and you will focus on the largest eligible ulcer if you have more than one
- You can safely do the study plan and be available for the whole study duration
- You do not have certain exclusions like severe infection in the foot, inability to offload the ulcer due to deformity, or planning/recency of vascular procedures

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care versus standard care alone for diabetic foot ulcers that are slow to heal. The goal is to see if adding these treatments helps ulcers close faster.
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 an exercise program can help wounds (ulcers) heal faster in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It mainly looks for adults with type 2 diabetes and enough blood flow to the foot, and checks safety and healing progress.
This study tests if exercise, done at home or at a center, can help people with diabetes walk better after a foot ulcer heals. It aims to keep you active and prevent future problems.
This trial compares two exercise programs for people with diabetic foot ulcers: one that uses only upper body exercises and one that combines upper body with non-weight bearing lower body exercises. The goal is to see which approach helps healing while keeping weight off the foot.
This trial tests a home exercise program delivered by video to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It's designed for people who can walk on their own and have a relatively new ulcer.
