Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Once the patients are identified that have a full thickness wound on a limb clearly identified as having critical limb ischemia, these patients will be evaluated. The data that will be extracted from each chart will include patient's age, patient's gender, number of office visits, presence of diabetes, presence of osteomyelitis, type and amount of antibiotic administered, number of hyperbaric oxygen treatments, and if the wound healed.

Who may be able to join

  • The inclusion criteria for the study are patients that demonstrate the following:
  • A limb with a TCpO2 less than 20 with a full thickness wound.
  • Initial visit from August 1, 2002 to December 31, 2005.

Who cannot join

  • The exclusion criteria for the study are patients that demonstrate the following:
  • Partial thickness wound or no wound in limb with critical ischemia.
  • A medical record that does not clearly demonstrate critical limb ischemia or does not clearly demonstrates a full thickness wound.

About this study

Once the patients are identified that have a full thickness wound on a limb clearly identified as having critical limb ischemia, these patients will be evaluated. The data that will be extracted from each chart will include patient's age, patient's gender, number of office visits, presence of diabetes, presence of osteomyelitis, type and amount of antibiotic administered, number of hyperbaric oxygen treatments, and if the wound healed.

Read the detailed description

Clinicians have even learned to group patients into different etiologic categories based on underlying disease such as diabetes mellitus, decubitus ulcer, surgical site infection, venous insufficiency, arterial insufficiency and others. It seems that wounds have been grouped into these categories because of their common barriers, which should allow us more precise algorithms and may provide better outcomes. That is diabetics tend to have the barriers of poor perfusion, endothelial cell dysfunction, white blood cell dysfunction, hyperglycemia, neuropathy and repetitive trauma. Venous insufficiency patients tend to have perivascular cuffing and peri wound edema. However patients with venous leg ulcers commonly have peripheral arterial disease and diabetes (3). The point is regardless of the etiology of the wound every patient must be evaluated for all barriers on every visit. Arbitrarily dividing chronic wounds in the etiologic categories has not significantly improved wound healing outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Limb Ischemia, run by Southwest Regional Wound Care Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Once the patients are identified that have a full thickness wound on a limb clearly identified as having critical limb ischemia, these patients will be evaluated (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Nov 2015.
