Personality type may influence diabetic wound healing – a study investigates
NCT ID NCT06630182
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a person's psychological profile — Type A (competitive, ambitious) or Type B (relaxed, less stress-prone) — affects the healing of diabetic foot wounds. Researchers will compare Bortner questionnaire scores between people whose wounds heal and those whose wounds do not. The goal is to see if personality traits are linked to healing outcomes and amputation risk.
