This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a new system called Tight Alright that uses a small wearable device under bandages to measure pressure on leg ulcers. The device sends real-time pressure data to a mobile app and healthcare team, helping ensure the right pressure is applied for healing. About 40 adults with chronic venous leg ulcers will be split into two groups: one gets usual care, the other uses the device plus usual care. Researchers will compare ulcer healing over 90 days to see if the system improves outcomes.
