A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot clinical trial aims to develop and test a tailored, occupational therapist-led lifestyle intervention to improve care for patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Participants will receive a self-management intervention focused on offloading treatment over a period of up to 8 weeks, delivered virtually. The study will assess the acceptability and feasibility of this approach through pre/post surveys and interviews with participants and care team members. The goal is to enhance adherence to offloading treatments, which are crucial for healing DFUs.
