Cold plasma vs standard wound care for diabetic foot and venous leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diabetic foot ulcer or a venous leg ulcer that hasn't been healing well.
- Your wound is at least half a square centimeter in size but no larger than about 28 square centimeters (measured after cleaning).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have a pacemaker or implanted electronic device, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not being treated with a strong immune-suppressing medicine (except a stable low-dose steroid) or advanced wound therapies like negative pressure or hyperbaric oxygen.

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 treatment made from placental cells can help heal diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It may be an option if you have a moderate-sized ulcer on one foot and have had type 2 diabetes for at least a year.
This study tests whether a special placental tissue graft placed on a diabetic foot ulcer helps it heal faster than standard wound care alone. It is for people with a diabetic foot ulcer that has not healed after 4 weeks of usual care.
This trial tests if a placental membrane product, when added to standard wound care, helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster than standard care alone.
