NCT ID NCT07073040
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma to standard artery-opening treatment helps heal diabetic foot ulcers faster. About 86 adults with diabetes and blocked leg arteries will receive either real or fake plasma sessions over two weeks. The goal is to see if the plasma reduces wound size and prevents infection.
