Pressure-Relief Materials for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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.

This study compares two types of pads placed under the foot to see which one better relieves pressure on a specific spot (the second metatarsal head) in people with diabetes. This may help prevent foot sores or ulcers.
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.
This trial tests whether a special padded (felt) dressing can help heal diabetic foot ulcers with nerve-related injury. If you have a foot wound caused by diabetic nerve problems, the study may offer a shorter treatment time.
This trial tests whether a special placental membrane dressing helps diabetic foot ulcers heal faster. You may qualify if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't been healing well with standard care.
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.
This trial tests a cream made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that helps keep skin moist, to see if it can prevent foot sores in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet. If you have diabetes-related nerve issues and want to protect your feet, this study may be for you.
