Effect of Photobiomodulation on Healing of Venous Leg Ulcers

This randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of photobiomodulation (PBM) combined with compression therapy in the healing of venous ulcers (VUs) in the lower limbs. A total of 96 participants will be allocated into two groups: Experimental Group (PBM + compression) and Control Group (sham PBM + compression). Treatments will be administered twice weekly for 16 weeks (32 sessions). The primary outcome will be complete wound healing. Secondary outcomes include changes in ulcer area and volume, pain (VAS), quality of life (SF-36), clinical severity (VCSS), wound quality (Bates-Jensen Scale), infrared thermography, and treatment costs. Data will be analyzed using ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis, chi-square or Fisher's exact test, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, with a significance level of p \< 0.05.

ConvaVAC™ Ag+ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System in Chronic Wounds

Purpose of this study is to learn more about how safe and effective the ConvaVAC™ Ag+ wound therapy system is in treating certain types of long-lasting wounds, called chronic wounds. In this study, the focus is on Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs). Chronic wounds are wounds that do not heal properly or take a long time to heal. They can cause pain, discomfort, and affect your day-to-day life. These types of wounds are also challenging for healthcare teams to treat and can take up a lot of healthcare resources. Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs) are the most common type of chronic leg wound and affect about 1 in every 100 people. Usual treatments for VLUs include cleaning the wound, using special dressings, applying pressure (compression therapy), and sometimes using creams or dressings that contain silver to fight infection. This study is being done to see if the wound therapy system can help heal venous leg ulcers more effectively and safely.

Smart Bandage With Telemonitoring vs Standard Care for Venous Leg Ulcer: Randomized Trial

Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are chronic wounds that are often slow to heal and can greatly affect patients' daily lives. This study will evaluate a new "smart bandage" that can monitor wound conditions such as pH, temperature, and moisture, and transmit this information to a mobile app for nurses to review. Care can then be adjusted in real time. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare smart bandage plus standard wound care with standard wound care alone. We will assess whether the smart bandage improves healing rates within 12 weeks, shortens time to healing, reduces infection, and improves quality of life in patients with VLUs. About 110 adult participants with VLUs will be enrolled at Clinic Podiatry Care, Purwokerto, Indonesia.

The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to collect patient outcome data and evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HealthTech DermaBind TL™ in patients with chronic non-healing wounds in patients with chronic non-healing ulcers.

Nonhealing Venous Leg Ulcers Treated With a Standard of Care (SoC) Alone or Standard of Care and Dehydrated Human Placenta Tissue (dHPT) With Crossover

The purpose of this study is to determine how well our dHPT (Dehydrated Human Placental Tissue) Product and Standard of Care work when compared to Standard of Care alone in achieving complete closure of venous leg ulcers.

Assessing Sensor-Guided Compression Therapy for Venous Leg Ulcers Healing Outcomes

The investigators are conducting a study to find out if a new system can help improve the care of people with venous leg ulcers (VLU). Venous leg ulcers are wounds on the lower leg that need compression bandages to help them heal. In this study, patients will be randomly placed into one of two groups: * Group 1: Will receive the usual care for VLUs. * Group 2: Will use a new connected health system, called Tight Alright, along with their usual care. The Tight Alright system includes a small, wearable device that sits under a patient's bandage. This device measures the pressure at three points on the patient's lower leg and sends the information wirelessly to a mobile app. The app shows real-time pressure readings and also sends the data to a secure cloud database. This allows the patient's healthcare team to monitor their bandage pressure remotely and make sure it is just right. The aim is to help nurses and doctors apply the correct pressure every time, which is important for healing. The system can also alert the patient's healthcare team if the pressure drops, so they can decide if a patient's bandage needs adjusting, even when the patient is at home. The investigators will follow all participants for 90 days and then compare how well the ulcers have healed in both groups. This will help us find out if the new system can improve healing and make treatment safer and more effective.

Trial to Evaluate Cyclical Topical Wound Oxygen Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and economic benefits of Cyclical Pressure Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) Therapy in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Participants will utilize standard of care (SOC) multilayer compression dressings with an inactive wound contact layer. Following a 2-week run-in period with SOC and after meeting all eligibility criteria, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio with TWO2 therapy or sham control therapy plus SOC. Participants will enter the intervention period of up to 16-weeks, followed by a long-term follow-up period of 52 weeks post randomization.

Reducing Skin Tone Inequities in Chronic Venous Insufficiency

The aim of this project is to define assessment criteria for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in people with dark skin tones. It will inform future interventions and modifications to practice for the assessment of CVI in people with dark skin tones in a nurse led intervention to improve patient assessment. To achieve this there will be two parts to this study. 1. We will explore patient journeys and patient experiences of people with dark skin tones diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. From this we will learn from people with dark skin tones about how they recognised skin changes in their lower legs to further inform clinical assessment guidance and techniques. We will also listen to their patient journey to identify what areas worked well and what could be developed. This will help us plan how care could be improved for similar people. 2. We will record how skin changes look and feel in people with dark skin tones and known venous disease, and photograph this. We will consider whether some additional techniques used in practice to look and feel the skin is useful and whether changing the colour balance and manipulating the photographs is useful to see these skin changes.

Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of TrophiPatch, an Adipose-Derived Stromal Cell Patch for Chronic Leg Ulcers

This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an experimental biological dressing called TrophiPatch, applied to adults with chronic leg ulcers of diabetic or vascular orign. TrophiPatch contains stromal cells derived from a donor's fat tissue, which are purified and processed in a certified laboratory. These cells have shown wound-healing, anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic properties in preclinical studies. All 18 participants will receive a single application of TrophiPatch on their wound. The total study duration is up to 24 weeks, with 23 scheduled visits for follow-up and monitoring.

Evaluation of Cold Plasma in Chronic Wound Healing

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of cold atmospheric plasma treatment in promoting the healing of chronic wounds in adult participants suffering from chronic wounds. The main questions is the following: Does the application of cold atmospheric plasma accelerate wound healing compared to standard wound care alone? Researchers will compare standard of care plus plasma treatment with standard of care alone to see if the plasma-treated group shows faster wound healing. Participants will: * Receive either standard wound care alone or standard wound care combined with cold atmospheric plasma treatment, depending on randomization. * Attend scheduled hospital visits for wound care, treatment administration, and clinical assessments, including wound photography and quality of life questionnaires. * Be followed up at home by nurses for wound care, treatment administration and clinical assessment too. * Complete a wound-related quality of life questionnaire at baseline, at week 6, and at the end of the study.
