Simple tests could save diabetic feet from amputation

NCT ID NCT05009602

Summary

This study aimed to find the best simple bedside test for detecting poor leg circulation (peripheral arterial disease) in people with diabetes. Researchers compared several quick tests, like blood pressure measurements in the ankle and toe, against more complex imaging scans. The goal is to improve early detection of circulation problems to help prevent serious complications like foot ulcers and amputations.
