Study of leg tissue in non-traumatic amputation patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at the tissue environment in the legs of patients who need amputation due to non-traumatic causes, like poor blood flow or infection. Understanding the tissue better might help improve healing for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation method called TENS can help people who have lost a leg below or above the knee feel more natural sensations in their missing limb and reduce phantom limb pain.
This study tests two therapies—one that briefly squeezes the leg with a blood pressure cuff and another that uses mild electrical pulses—to see if they can help people walk better after a leg amputation.
This study looks at whether a small device that stimulates nerves can improve blood flow and leg health in Veterans who have either diabetes-related nerve damage or a leg amputation. It aims to help with circulation and overall limb function.
This study tests a new wireless skin sensor that sticks to your residual limb (the part of your leg below the knee where you wear your prosthetic). The goal is to track how your skin is doing inside the socket. If you qualify, you'll visit North Carolina State University to try the sensor and be photographed during research activities.
This trial looks at outcomes after a below-knee (lower-leg) amputation in Veterans. It focuses on people who have blood flow likely to heal and who plan to join rehabilitation to walk again with a prosthesis.
This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.
