Laser Speckle Imaging for Wound Perfusion Monitoring (WoundImager)
An observational study of Wounds and Injuries, run by CW Optics, Inc. at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of an optical device designed and developed to quantitatively monitor blood flow velocity of wound sites. It is hypothesized that the blood flow velocity of the wound site will provide critical information on the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Read more about this study

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Care Group | Subjects who will undergo only standard wound care management. | |
| Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Group | Subjects who are selected for adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to standard wound care intervention. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Blood flow velocity measurements
Effectiveness of blood flow velocity measurements of wound sites to assess tissue viability with a novel optical device. Comparison between the responses of patients treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and those treated by other means will be made.
Measured: 5 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Wounds and Injuries, run by CW Optics, Inc. 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 12 inclusion and 4 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 2 Jul 2013. 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?
Blood flow velocity measurements (time frame: 5 months). 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 2 Jul 2013.
