Cold Plasma for Diabetic Foot Ulcers After Leg Artery Treatment
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma treatment to standard care helps heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes who have recently had a procedure to open blocked leg arteries. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and more effective than current care alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, with a recent blood sugar test (HbA1c) of 10% or less.
- You have a foot ulcer that has not healed for at least 3 weeks despite standard care.

This trial tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma (a gentle gas treatment) to a standard procedure that opens blocked leg arteries can help diabetic foot ulcers heal better and faster.
This trial tests whether a cold atmospheric plasma treatment can help heal certain slow-healing diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers better than standard wound care. Cold plasma is a gentle, non-thermal gas that may help wounds heal faster.
This trial tests if a special treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes and poor circulation in their legs. The goal is to see if it improves wound healing compared to standard care.
This trial tests whether a cold plasma device can help heal chronic wounds like venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, or pressure ulcers. It looks at people whose wounds haven't improved with standard care.
This study tests whether applying cold atmospheric plasma (an ionized gas) during surgery can reduce wound complications in patients with poor blood flow to their legs. If you're having surgery to treat narrowed arteries in your groin area and have risk factors for wound healing problems, this trial may help prevent infections and other healing issues.
This trial tests a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF) to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that are not getting better with standard care. It may be an option if you have a mild-to-moderate ulcer on the bottom of your foot with good blood flow and no infection.
