Cold plasma therapy for diabetic or leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new 'cold plasma' treatment (a gentle electrical gas) for diabetic foot or leg ulcers that have stopped healing. It aims to see if this therapy helps wounds heal better than standard wound care alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diabetic foot ulcer or a venous leg ulcer that has stopped healing despite standard care.
- Your wound is at least 0.5 square centimeters and no larger than about 28 square centimeters (roughly 6 cm across).
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, metal near the wound, or a central line (catheter to the heart).
- You do not have severe infection in the wound (like bone infection) or poor blood flow (ischemia) that would prevent healing.
- The wound is not on a toe, and you do not have more than one wound requiring professional care.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special treatment using placental cells can help heal diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. If you qualify, you may receive this cell-based treatment to see if it helps your wound close faster and reduce the risk of complications.
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.
This study tests whether a special wound dressing made from human placental membrane can help heal diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers that did not close with standard care. It is for people who were in the BIOCAMP trial and whose ulcer remained open after 12 weeks of standard treatment.
This trial tests whether adding a special treatment (cellular acellular and matrix-like products) to standard wound care helps diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
This trial tests whether a cold plasma treatment can help heal chronic wounds faster when standard treatments haven't worked. Cold plasma is a gentle gas-based therapy that may promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.
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.
