Ultrasound to see blood flow in diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (like a sound wave camera) to see blood flow in foot sores caused by diabetes. It may help doctors understand the tiny blood vessels in your foot ulcer.

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 trial studies whether applying insulin to wounds using ultrasound can help chronic diabetic wounds heal faster. It may be an option for patients without serious complications like infection or cancer near the wound.
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 is testing a new way to check for blocked arteries in people with diabetes who have foot ulcers. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors diagnose blood flow problems more accurately.
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.
This study uses a special heart ultrasound (called strain echocardiography) to see how diabetes-related foot ulcers affect the heart's pumping function. It aims to help doctors understand and treat heart problems in people with diabetic foot ulcers.
