Skin imaging to predict diabetic foot ulcer risk
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses two special cameras to look at blood flow and heat patterns in your feet. The goal is to better predict who might be at risk for developing a diabetic foot ulcer, so steps can be taken to prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a diagnosis of diabetes.
- Your feet must be at risk level 0, 1, 2, or 3 (according to the IWGDF system).
- You cannot have an active foot wound or ulcer right now.

This study is looking for people with diabetes who have an open foot or ankle ulcer. Researchers want to collect samples to find biomarkers, which are natural signs in the body that could help improve treatment and healing. It may be a good fit if you have a diabetic foot ulcer and are not currently in another drug trial for ulcers.
This trial uses a special camera to measure the composition and structure of the skin without any needles or cuts. It helps researchers understand how skin varies between people.
This study tests a painless light treatment (photobiomodulation) to see if it can prevent foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes who are at risk. If you qualify, you would receive the treatment regularly and be monitored for foot health.
This trial tests a mobile app to help prevent foot ulcers in people with diabetes who are at high risk. You will use the app to track your foot health and get advice to keep your feet safe.
This study collects thermal (heat) images of the feet of people with diabetes who have had a healed foot ulcer. The goal is to see if these images can help prevent future foot problems.
This study looks at how images of a current foot wound in people with diabetes can be used to help doctors. It may help improve how foot ulcers are evaluated while you receive usual care.
