Bioimpedance monitoring for venous leg ulcers under compression
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have a chronic sore (ulcer) on your lower leg mainly caused by poor vein circulation
- Your care team can use compression bandages or therapy for you
- Your ulcer is on the lower leg above the ankle, fits within about 5 cm wide, and can be measured with the electrode dressing
- The ulcer is not very deep, not shaped like a cavity, and not leaking heavily (high drainage)
- You can visit the clinic about 2–3 times per week and follow study instructions

This study tests a new, non-invasive skin sensor that uses electrical currents to see how well clot-busting medication is working in people with deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg). The goal is to make monitoring easier and more comfortable.
This trial tests whether a sensor-guided compression system improves healing for venous leg ulcers. If you have a chronic leg ulcer and are already using compression therapy, you may qualify.
This trial tests whether a smart bandage with remote monitoring helps heal venous leg ulcers better than standard care. If you have a vein-related leg ulcer that has lasted more than 3 weeks, this study may be an option for you.
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 a special ultrasound scan to see how chronic diabetic or venous foot ulcers are healing. The goal is to use the scan to better track wound improvement and guide care.
This trial tests a light compression system for mixed leg ulcers, which are wounds on the lower leg that have both vein and artery problems. It may help you if you have this type of wound that is not too large or too old.
