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 a new antibacterial wound dressing to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers safely. It may be an option if your ulcer has been there for over 4 weeks and is not severely infected.
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 whether medical honey can help heal wounds like bedsores, cuts, or surgical openings in intensive care patients. If you have a fresh wound that meets the size requirements, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a wound covering made from donated amniotic tissue (dehydrated human amnion membrane) placed on a diabetic foot ulcer that isn't healing. It aims to see if adding this membrane to standard wound care helps the ulcer close faster.
This study tests if a special wound dressing (collagen matrix with antimicrobial) plus standard care helps diabetic foot ulcers heal better than standard care alone. It's for people with diabetes who have a foot sore that hasn't healed for at least 4 weeks.
