Amputation decision aid for diabetic foot patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a tool to help people with diabetes and severe foot problems decide together with their doctors whether amputation surgery is the right option. The tool is based on a well-known framework for making tough medical choices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes and a foot ulcer that is very severe (Wagner grade 4 or higher gangrene).
- Or you have a foot ulcer with serious infection or bone infection that makes it hard to use your foot.
- Or you have advanced blockages in your leg arteries that are getting worse despite treatment.
- You do not have a history of mental health conditions that would make it hard to talk with the research team.
- You do not have other serious, unrelated medical problems.
