Calf muscle exercises for leg ulcer healing
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests different structured calf muscle exercises compared to unsupervised walking at home to see if they help heal venous leg ulcers faster. It may help improve blood flow and healing.

This study tests a new gel that may help heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein circulation. The gel is applied directly to the wound and aims to trigger natural healing processes in the skin.
This study tests a treatment made from umbilical cord tissue to help heal hard-to-heal leg ulcers caused by vein problems. You will receive either this treatment plus standard care, or standard care alone, and your wound will be monitored weekly.
This study tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help heal leg ulcers caused by weak veins. If you have a non-infected venous leg ulcer that's been present for at least 6 weeks, this treatment might speed up healing.
This study looks at people with a healing or healing-worsening leg ulcer caused by weak veins (venous reflux). It may help improve care for this common type of ulcer and reduce time to healing by testing an approach for venous ulcers.
This study tests whether special wound dressings (called CAMPs) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. If you have a hard-to-heal sore on your foot or leg, this trial may be an option.
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.
