Wound healing study for diabetic carbuncle treatment
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods for treating a diabetic carbuncle (a skin infection causing a painful lump) followed by vacuum-assisted closure (a device that helps wounds heal by applying gentle suction). It aims to see which approach leads to better healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 70 years old
- You have diabetes and a carbuncle that needs surgery to drain it
- You have a physical status classified as ASA 2 or 3 (meaning you have some health condition that limits activity but is not life-threatening)

This study compares two ways to help dirty or infected wounds heal faster: a suction device (VAC) that pulls the wound closed, versus regular bandage changes. The aim is to see which method leads to quicker healing.
This study compares two ways to treat chronic skin wounds that need surgical cleaning. It tests whether a vacuum-sealing drainage (a special sponge that helps heal) is safer and works better than another method, possibly helping your wound heal faster.
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
This trial tests a special vacuum bandage (called a negative pressure wound therapy device) placed on the wound after emergency belly surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent infections in people with diabetes, who are at higher risk for wound problems.
This study compares two wound care methods after emergency surgery for a serious skin infection. One method uses a standard wound vacuum, and the other uses a wound vacuum that also irrigates (rinses) the wound to see if it helps with healing.
This trial tests a surgery that uses a special technique to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. The surgery may help your foot heal and avoid more serious problems.
