Muscle stimulation for diabetic foot ulcers
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special muscle stimulation device (called High Tone External Muscle Stimulation) to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who have a chronic, deep foot ulcer that hasn't healed in over 4 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes that is well-controlled.
- You have a foot ulcer that is deep enough to go through the full thickness of skin (not just the top layer) and has lasted longer than 4 months.
- You are between 45 and 65 years old.
- You are willing to continue your usual diabetes care and not receive other physical therapy for the ulcer during the study.
- You do not have other causes for the ulcer (like vein disease or cancer) and no active bone infection (osteomyelitis).

This study tests a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see if the therapy helps these ulcers heal better and faster.
This trial tests a new cell treatment for diabetic foot ulcers by injecting special regulatory monocytes (OPM cells) to help heal wounds. It is for patients with mild to moderate ulcers that haven't healed for over a month.
This trial tests a device called CRAD ULCER X-01 that uses gentle magnetic pulses to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It may help people with a diabetic foot ulcer that is not too deep and is at an early stage.
This trial tests if a digital health education program helps people with diabetes take better care of their feet and improve their quality of life. If you have a diabetic foot wound that has been present for at least 4 weeks, this study might be for you.
