Breathing exercise and cold pack for wound cleaning pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise and a cold pack can help reduce pain and anxiety while a wound is being cleaned (called sharp debridement). If you are having a wound cleaned and feel anxious about it, this may be a way to feel more comfortable.

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 tests whether an exercise program can help wounds (ulcers) heal faster in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It mainly looks for adults with type 2 diabetes and enough blood flow to the foot, and checks safety and healing progress.
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 new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
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 study tests whether combining negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) can help diabetic foot wounds heal better after toe amputation. It is looking for people who have had their big or little toe removed and have adequate blood flow to the foot.
