NCT ID NCT07395674
First seen Feb 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This pilot study will test whether injecting dexpanthenol (a vitamin B5 derivative) under the skin around chronic wounds can speed up healing. 40 adults with diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, or arterial ulcers will be randomly assigned to get either standard wound care alone or standard care plus dexpanthenol injections. The main goal is to see if the injections reduce wound size and improve skin regrowth.
