NCT ID NCT07732270
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a portable handheld Doppler device can help nurses quickly detect arterial insufficiency in people with diabetes who have foot ulcers. The device checks for blood flow in the great toe, and the goal is to see if it can reliably flag patients who need further vascular testing. If accurate, this simple tool could speed up care and reduce the risk of amputation.
