Foot pressure test for diabetic skin damage
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the pressure patterns under your feet relate to skin damage in people with diabetes. It aims to find early signs of foot problems so they can be treated sooner and prevent serious complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can join as a healthy volunteer with normal blood sugar levels (fasting below 6.1 mmol/L and HbA1c below 6.0%).
- If you have diabetes, you must have a confirmed diagnosis (type 1 or type 2) and meet the medical definition of diabetic foot disease.
- Your feet should look normal, with no wounds, deformities, infections, or skin issues.
- You must not have had foot surgery or major injury that left scars or permanent skin damage.
- You cannot have certain skin or connective tissue conditions like severe athlete's foot, eczema, psoriasis, or autoimmune diseases.
- You should not have very thick calluses or corns on the soles that could interfere with the measurements.

This study aims to accurately measure foot calluses using a special device. The goal is to compare measurements between people with diabetes and those without, to better understand and prevent foot problems.
This study looks at why people with type 2 diabetes develop high pressure on the bottom of their feet while walking. The goal is to find risk factors that may lead to foot problems, so doctors can help prevent them.
This study measures the pressure on the bottom of your foot while walking, which may help design better shoes or insoles for people with partial foot amputations due to diabetes.
This study is testing a new way to check blood flow in the feet of people with diabetes who have foot ulcers. The goal is to find out if this test can help doctors diagnose blocked arteries more accurately, which could guide better treatment.
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 tests special cushioning materials designed to reduce pressure and help heal diabetic foot ulcers. Researchers want to find the best way to distribute pressure on the foot to support healing and prevent future ulcers.
