Custom insoles with electrical stimulation for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether custom-made insoles combined with a mild electrical stimulation device can help heal diabetic foot ulcers better than standard care. It may reduce pain and improve healing for people with early-stage foot ulcers.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests special sensory insoles (called Orpyx Sensory Insoles) to help prevent diabetic foot ulcers from coming back. It aims to reduce high-pressure foot spots for people who already had a healed nerve-related ulcer.
This study tests whether a special external muscle stimulation device can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It may speed up healing and improve blood flow in the affected area.
This study tests whether electromagnetic field therapy plus a custom foot insole can improve blood flow in your feet and help with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help heal ulcers by improving circulation.
This trial tests whether a special padded (felt) dressing can help heal diabetic foot ulcers with nerve-related injury. If you have a foot wound caused by diabetic nerve problems, the study may offer a shorter treatment time.
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 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.
