Thermal camera test for chronic wound diagnosis and healing
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a thermal imaging camera (a heat-sensing picture) to help doctors assess chronic ulcers and track how they heal over time. It may help identify differences in blood flow and healing patterns, supporting better wound care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a long-lasting (chronic) ulcer that needs specialist wound-center care
- Your ulcer is due to venous, arterial, or mixed causes, or it is an uncommon type like vasculitic ulcers or pyoderma gangrenosum
- The specific wound being tested has only one cause (or it must be a mixed ulcer)

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.
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
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 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 uses a special camera that combines light and sound to take pictures of chronic foot wounds caused by poor blood flow. It may help doctors see how well the wound is healing without needing extra tests.
This study uses a special camera that detects heat to see blood flow in your leg before and after a procedure to open blocked arteries.
