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 trial tests two methods for treating chronic skin wounds that need surgery to clean them. It aims to find which method works better and is safer.
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 new antibacterial wound dressing to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers safely. It may be an option if your ulcer has been there for over 4 weeks and is not severely infected.
This study tests a special vacuum bandage (called NPWT) to prevent wound infections after emergency belly surgery in people with diabetes and high infection risk. The goal is to see if this dressing helps heal better than standard care.
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 study compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care to standard care alone for hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. It aims to see if the extra treatments help wounds close faster and prevent complications.
