Fish oil dressing for venous leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new fish oil-based dressing (OCM™) for venous leg ulcers, which are slow-healing sores on the lower leg caused by poor vein function. The dressing is used along with your usual compression therapy, and the study compares it to compression alone to see if it helps ulcers heal faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new device that delivers oxygen to the wound area (topical wound oxygen therapy) to help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by vein disease. It may help people who have not seen enough healing with compression therapy alone.
This trial tests whether applying a special fish skin graft, along with standard compression therapy, helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein function (venous leg ulcers) that have not healed with standard care alone. If you have a nonhealing venous leg ulcer, this study may offer a new treatment option.
This trial tests a smart compression bandage that uses sensors to help heal venous leg ulcers. It may help people whose ulcers have not healed with standard compression therapy.
This study compares two types of compression bandages to see if one is as good as the other for treating venous leg ulcers. If you have a leg ulcer that has not healed, this trial may help improve your treatment.
This study tests a new gel that helps remove dead tissue from venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are open sores on the leg that happen when veins don't work well. The gel is applied to the ulcer to clean it and help it heal. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a venous leg ulcer that is not too large and has been there for a few weeks.
This study tests a special dehydrated human placenta tissue dressing for leg ulcers that won't heal. You will get either standard wound care plus this dressing, or standard care alone; later you may have the chance to receive the dressing.
