Smart compression therapy for venous leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a sensor-guided compression system improves healing for venous leg ulcers. If you have a chronic leg ulcer and are already using compression therapy, you may qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a healthy blood flow in your leg (ABPI above 0.8)
- You are able to use a smartphone or tablet

This trial tests whether a smart bandage with remote monitoring helps heal venous leg ulcers better than standard care. If you have a vein-related leg ulcer that has lasted more than 3 weeks, this study may be an option for you.
This study compares two compression bandage systems (Mepi™ Press 2 and UrgoK2®) to treat venous leg ulcers—sores caused by poor circulation in the legs. We want to see if one bandage works as well as or better than the other at helping these ulcers heal.
This trial tests whether a new cleansing solution (Vashe) is better than a standard saline solution for treating leg ulcers that show signs of infection, like redness or pain. If you have a venous or mixed leg ulcer with these signs, this study may help improve your wound healing.
This study tests a new device that delivers oxygen to the wound area (topical wound oxygen therapy) to help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by vein disease. It may help people who have not seen enough healing with compression therapy alone.
This study tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help heal leg ulcers caused by weak veins. If you have a non-infected venous leg ulcer that's been present for at least 6 weeks, this treatment might speed up healing.
This trial tests a special wound vacuum system with silver to treat chronic leg ulcers that show signs of infection. It aims to see if this dressing helps clean and heal wounds better.
