This study tests a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see if the therapy helps these ulcers heal better and faster.
This trial compares several advanced wound treatments (called CAMPs) plus standard care versus standard care alone for diabetic foot ulcers that are slow to heal. The goal is to see if adding these treatments helps ulcers close faster.
This trial tests whether adding a special treatment (cellular acellular and matrix-like products) to standard wound care helps diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
This trial tests a home exercise program delivered by video to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It's designed for people who can walk on their own and have a relatively new ulcer.
This trial tests if adding an umbilical cord-based treatment to standard care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not closed with usual care. It may be an option if you have a foot ulcer that is at least 4 weeks old and between 1 and 15 square centimeters in size.
This study is looking for people with diabetes who have an open foot or ankle ulcer. Researchers want to collect samples to find biomarkers, which are natural signs in the body that could help improve treatment and healing. It may be a good fit if you have a diabetic foot ulcer and are not currently in another drug trial for ulcers.
