Using thermography to prevent and diagnose diabetic foot
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive temperature scan (thermography) can help prevent or detect diabetic foot problems early. If you have diabetes, you may be able to join the group receiving the scan.

This study checks whether special imaging of your feet—using light/temperature pictures—can help sort your risk for developing a diabetic foot ulcer. It may help identify people who need closer prevention or foot care.
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 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 whether a thermal camera can help detect foot problems in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help find inflammation earlier compared to healthy volunteers.
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 compares two devices that measure the temperature of the bottom of your feet. The goal is to see if they give the same readings, which could help doctors detect foot problems earlier.
