Rhythmic electrical stimulation for chronic ulcers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment that uses rhythmic electrical pulses to help heal chronic ulcers (sores that have not healed for over 3 months). It is designed for people who can visit the clinic regularly for a few months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an ulcer (a sore that doesn't heal) that has lasted for more than 3 months.
- You are able to visit the clinic 3 days a week for 3 months to receive the treatment.
- Your doctor has not said you have severe blood flow problems (ischemia) that need surgery.
- You do not have an active infection in the ulcer or a bone infection (osteomyelitis).

This trial tests whether a nerve stimulation technique can help reduce fibromyalgia symptoms. It is open to women with a confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia who have had symptoms for at least three months.
This study tests a wearable device that uses gentle electrical signals to reduce pain in people with migraine or fibromyalgia. It may help by changing how the brain processes pain signals.
This trial tests a new device that uses very low-frequency electrical pulses to treat chronic low back pain. It is for people whose pain hasn't improved with other treatments and who are not candidates for stronger therapies.
This trial tests a device called CRAD ULCER X-01 that uses gentle magnetic pulses to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It may help people with a diabetic foot ulcer that is not too deep and is at an early stage.
This trial tests if sacral nerve stimulation can safely help people with ulcerative colitis that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
