EMF therapy and foot insoles for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of electromagnetic field therapy and custom foot insoles can improve blood circulation in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help heal ulcers and prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a mild magnetic current can help heal diabetic foot ulcers that are slow to heal. It may be an option if your ulcer is not infected and your blood flow is healthy.
This trial tests a device called CRAD ULCER X-01 that uses gentle magnetic pulses to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It may help people with a diabetic foot ulcer that is not too deep and is at an early stage.
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 a custom insole that uses mild electrical stimulation to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to reduce pain and improve wound healing compared to standard care.
This trial tests a special muscle stimulation device (called High Tone External Muscle Stimulation) to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who have a chronic, deep foot ulcer that hasn't healed in over 4 months.
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.
