Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with diabetes who have a foot ulcer that is not healing well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber) to standard surgery improves healing of bone infections (fracture-related infections) in the leg. It may help if you have an ongoing infection after a broken leg bone.
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.
This trial looks at using hyperbaric oxygen treatment for new or less common conditions. If you've been referred for this therapy, you may join to help doctors learn more about how it works.
This study tests whether shining a special light on diabetic foot ulcers can help them heal faster. It aims to find out if the treatment is safe and effective.
This trial tests if a special treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes and poor circulation in their legs. The goal is to see if it improves wound healing compared to standard care.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber) can help people hospitalized with a moderate to severe ulcerative colitis flare get better faster. You will receive the therapy along with standard steroid treatment.
