Oxygen therapy shows promise for stubborn diabetic foot sores
NCT ID NCT02326337
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device that delivers oxygen directly to chronic diabetic foot ulcers to help them heal. 73 people with diabetes and foot sores that had not healed for over a month took part. Half used the real oxygen device, and half used a fake device, while all received standard wound care. The main goal was to see if the oxygen therapy could close the wound within 12 weeks.
