Padded insoles to reduce foot pressure in people with diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pads placed under the foot to see which one better relieves pressure on a specific spot (the second metatarsal head) in people with diabetes. This may help prevent foot sores or ulcers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 looks at how the pressure patterns under your feet relate to skin damage in people with diabetes. It aims to find early signs of foot problems so they can be treated sooner and prevent serious complications.
This trial tests whether a special placental membrane dressing helps diabetic foot ulcers heal faster. You may qualify if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't been healing well with standard care.
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 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.
This trial tests special insoles that send a real-time alert to help you manage foot pressure, combined with foot self-care education. It may help prevent foot problems and improve your daily foot care routine.
