VENOUS LEG ULCER

This study tested whether adding cellular, acellular, or matrix-like products (CAMPs) to standard wound care helps close diabetic foot and venous leg ulcers completely. 292 adults with nonhealing ulcers were randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care…

This study looked at whether a special interactive dressing (UrgoStart Plus) used under compression bandages helps heal venous leg ulcers faster than a simple dressing. 60 adults with these hard-to-heal ulcers took part. The main goal was to see if the ulcer closed completely wit…

This study tested a special glue (cyanoacrylate) to close faulty veins in the leg and help heal venous ulcers (open sores). 38 people with a leg ulcer and a leaking saphenous vein took part. The goal was to see if the glue treatment is safe and works well to heal the ulcer and ke…

This study tested two special wound dressings—AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ and Cutimed® Sorbact®—in 203 adults with venous leg ulcers. The goal was to see which one helps wounds heal better over 12 weeks. Participants had ulcers for at least 2 months and received compression therapy. The …

This study tested whether listening to music during wound care can help people with venous leg ulcers feel less pain and anxiety. 97 patients were split into three groups: one listened to Turkish instrumental music, another to Western music without lyrics, and a third had standar…

This study looked at wound fluid from 13 people with hard-to-heal leg ulcers. Researchers collected samples over 24 hours to measure how the fluid affects skin cells and bacteria. The goal was to learn more about why some wounds don't heal, not to test a new treatment.

This study tested whether using genetic information to guide surgical wound cleaning (debridement) can improve healing in people with hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers. 41 adults with ulcers between the knee and ankle took part. Researchers analyzed genes and proteins in wound tissu…

This study surveyed 135 UK primary care doctors and vascular scientists to understand current practices for diagnosing venous leg ulcers. Researchers used questionnaires and expert consensus to identify gaps in guidelines and explore cost-effective care options. The goal is to im…

This study re-evaluates wound closure in 105 people with venous leg ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers, using photos from an earlier trial. Researchers compared two dressings—AQUACEL Ag+ and Cutimed Sorbact—by having a blinded expert judge whether wounds fully closed by 12 weeks. The…
