Testing silicone pads vs felted foam for foot pressure relief in diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of padding (silicone pads and felted foam) to see which one better reduces pressure on the ball of the foot in people with diabetes and nerve damage. It may help prevent foot ulcers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have diabetes
- Have nerve damage in your feet (peripheral neuropathy)
- Be able to walk for at least 5 minutes without a walking aid
- Be able to understand and sign a consent form

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 uses a device to measure pressure on the bottom of your feet to find early signs of skin damage from diabetes. It may help prevent foot ulcers by catching problems sooner.
This study tests special cushioning materials designed to reduce pressure and help heal diabetic foot ulcers. Researchers want to find the best way to distribute pressure on the foot to support healing and prevent future ulcers.
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 trial tests a special device that uses mild electrical pulses to help improve problems caused by diabetic nerve damage, such as numbness and pain in the feet. If you have diabetic neuropathy and can walk on your own, this study may be a good option.
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.
