A new test for blood flow in diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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 trial tests a new camera that uses light to check blood flow in your legs. It compares the camera's results to standard tests like ABI and Doppler ultrasound to see if it works as well.
This study tests a simple, noninvasive technique (photoplethysmography) to measure blood flow in the legs of people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors better detect and monitor peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that narrows arteries and can lead to leg pain or poor healing.
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.
This study looks at how images of a current foot wound in people with diabetes can be used to help doctors. It may help improve how foot ulcers are evaluated while you receive usual care.
This study looks at how diabetes and foot ulcers affect the heart. It uses a special ultrasound to measure heart function and aims to see if treating the foot ulcer helps the heart.
