Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if a vacuum-like wound dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps heal diabetic foot ulcers after surgery. It may be a good fit if you have a foot ulcer needing surgery and are able to walk.

This trial tests a device that uses gentle suction (negative pressure) to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It may help people with poor blood flow in their legs who have not healed with other treatments.
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.
This study looks at a specific wound dressing in people with a non-infected diabetic foot ulcer that has nerve pain (neuropathic), poor blood flow (ischemic), or both. It may help you heal the ulcer and improve how the wound looks and progresses.
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 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.
