Testing insulin with ultrasound for diabetic wound healing
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes and a chronic wound that is not healing well.
- You do not have an infection in your limb.
- You do not have cancer in or near the wound area.
- You are not taking blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants).

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 tests if combining ultrasound with a natural substance called propolis (bee glue) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers faster. If you have a diabetic foot sore that is not too large or deep, this treatment may reduce healing time and improve wound care.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can help heal foot ulcers faster in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage. It also measures how the treatment affects a substance linked to inflammation (IL-6).
This study tests whether a special type of infrared light (called MIRE) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed in 30 days or more. If you have a diabetic foot ulcer with good blood flow and no bone infection, this treatment may help speed up healing.
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.
