Infrared light therapy for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of infrared light (called MIRE) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed in 30 days or more. If you have a diabetic foot ulcer with good blood flow and no bone infection, this treatment may help speed up healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- You currently have a diabetic foot ulcer that has not healed for at least 30 days.
- Your ulcer is not too deep or infected (Wagner grade 1 or 2 — meaning it does not reach the bone).
- You have good blood flow to your leg, confirmed by a simple test like an ankle-brachial index or Doppler ultrasound.
- You are not pregnant, and you have not had surgery on the affected foot in the last 30 days.

This trial tests a special muscle stimulation device (called High Tone External Muscle Stimulation) to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who have a chronic, deep foot ulcer that hasn't healed in over 4 months.
This study tests whether a combination of electromagnetic field therapy and custom foot insoles can improve blood circulation in people with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help heal ulcers and prevent complications.
This study tests if a specific type of light (830nm) can help heal diabetic ulcers. It aims to see if the treatment is effective and easy to use for people with diabetes.
This study collects thermal (heat) images of the feet of people with diabetes who have had a healed foot ulcer. The goal is to see if these images can help prevent future foot problems.
This study uses noninvasive (no major procedures) tests to better understand how diabetic foot ulcers or infections are healing. It may help doctors choose better ways to support wound healing in people with diabetes.
This trial tests a new cell treatment for diabetic foot ulcers by injecting special regulatory monocytes (OPM cells) to help heal wounds. It is for patients with mild to moderate ulcers that haven't healed for over a month.
