Fuzzy sock after leg amputation to help healing
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a fuzzy compression sock worn on the leg after amputation below the knee (transtibial amputation). The goal is to see if it helps the wound heal better in people with peripheral artery disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have a leg amputation below the knee
- You have peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries)
- You can travel to Rochester for follow-up care
- You can understand and follow instructions about your amputation care

This trial looks at outcomes after a below-knee (lower-leg) amputation in Veterans. It focuses on people who have blood flow likely to heal and who plan to join rehabilitation to walk again with a prosthesis.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
This trial studies whether a specific type of compression helps reduce swelling in the leg after a bypass surgery to improve blood flow. It may help people manage “edema” (fluid-related swelling) while healing after revascularization.
This trial tests a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction to the incision after major leg amputation. It aims to reduce wound complications and help the stump heal better.
This study tests if special diabetic recovery shoes and an AI-guided exercise program can help people with diabetes who are receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It's designed for those who can walk a little and have only minor toe loss.
This study tests whether giving extra treatments with hyperbaric (pressure) oxygen after a leg amputation can improve healing or recovery. It’s meant for people whose amputation happened due to long-lasting infection or poor blood flow and who can attend follow-up visits.
