Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests a new gel that helps remove dead tissue from venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are open sores on the leg that happen when veins don't work well. The gel is applied to the ulcer to clean it and help it heal. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a venous leg ulcer that is not too large and has been there for a few weeks.
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 trial compares a special wound vacuum that adds silver nanoparticle spray to a standard wound vacuum. It's for people with diabetic foot wounds after a procedure to restore blood flow to their leg.
This trial tests a simple, unpowered negative pressure device for treating wounds that are less than 2 cm deep and smaller than 10 by 20 cm. It may be an option if your wound is new (less than 4 weeks) or has been present for longer (4 weeks or more) and your doctor agrees it's safe.
