VENOUS LEG ULCER

This study tested whether adding special wound dressings (called CAMPs) to standard care helps close diabetic foot and leg ulcers better than standard care alone. 292 adults with nonhealing ulcers took part. The main goal was to see if more ulcers healed completely with the added…

This study tested a special glue (cyanoacrylate) to close faulty veins in the leg and help heal venous ulcers (open sores). 38 people with a leg ulcer and a leaking saphenous vein took part. The goal was to see if the glue treatment is safe and works well to heal the ulcer and ke…

This study looked at whether a special interactive dressing (UrgoStart Plus) used with compression bandages helps heal venous leg ulcers faster than a simple dressing. Sixty adults with these hard-to-heal ulcers were followed for up to 12 weeks. The main goal was to see if the ul…

This study tested two special wound dressings—AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ and Cutimed® Sorbact®—in 203 adults with venous leg ulcers. The goal was to see which one helps wounds heal better over 12 weeks. Participants had ulcers for at least 2 months and received compression therapy. The …

This study tested whether listening to music during wound care can help people with venous leg ulcers feel less pain and anxiety. 97 patients were split into three groups: one listened to Turkish instrumental music, another to Western music without lyrics, and a third had standar…

This study tested whether using a person's genetic information to guide surgical wound cleaning (debridement) could improve healing of chronic venous leg ulcers. Researchers analyzed genes and proteins from wound tissue before and after cleaning. The goal was to see if this perso…

This study surveyed 135 UK primary care doctors and vascular scientists to understand how venous leg ulcers are currently diagnosed and managed. The goal was to identify gaps in guidelines and explore the best way to run diagnostic services, either in primary care or hospital set…

This study looked at fluid from leg ulcers in 13 adults to learn more about why some wounds take a long time to heal. Researchers collected samples over 24 hours and measured the wound size. No treatments were tested; the goal was simply to gather information about the healing pr…

This study re-evaluates wound closure in 105 people with venous leg ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers, using photos from an earlier trial. Researchers compared two dressings—AQUACEL Ag+ and Cutimed Sorbact—by having a blinded expert judge whether wounds fully closed by 12 weeks. The…
