Light therapy for diabetic ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if a specific type of light (830nm) can help heal diabetic ulcers. It aims to see if the treatment is effective and easy to use for people with diabetes.

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 trial tests whether an at-home low-level laser can help diabetic foot ulcers heal. You may be able to do treatments yourself or with a caregiver, but you must meet specific wound, circulation, and safety requirements.
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.
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 a painless light treatment (photobiomodulation) to see if it can prevent foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes who are at risk. If you qualify, you would receive the treatment regularly and be monitored for foot health.
