Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who have neuropathic wounds under their feet.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients requiring vascular surgery or those needing intravenous antibiotics for wound infections may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates whether using custom felt relief can reduce the treatment period for patients with diabetic foot ulcers compared to standard relief methods. Conducted by an interdisciplinary team at Molde Hospital, the study aims to optimize existing treatment protocols that have shown good results. Patients diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus and experiencing neuropathic wounds under the foot will be included in the trial. The goal is to determine if personalized relief can enhance healing efficiency.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly shorten the healing time for patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
How similar studies have gone: While standard treatment methods have shown good results, the use of custom felt relief is a novel approach that has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
