Sensor-Assisted Wound Therapy in Plantar Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors' conclusion
Sensor-assisted wound therapy may allow rapid closure of plantar foot ulcers while maintaining patient's mobility during ulcer therapy.
Study context
- Population
- Ambulatory patients with plantar DFU3 withdrew consent
- Participants
- 20 patients
- Comparison
- Sensor-assisted wound therapy with pressure alerts vs same offloading and monitoring without information or warnings
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Time to healing of ulcers
P = 0.037
Further findings
Increasing ulcer area during study visits · less frequent with Intervention
P = 0.033
| Outcome | Intervention | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Steps per day | average 1875 (SD 1590) steps per day | 1806 (SD 1391) steps per day |
- Time to 50% reduction of wound area
- P = 0.2
Time to 50% reduction of wound area
- Median 10.2 (95% CI = 7.25-NA) vs 19.1 (95% CI = 13.36-NA) days
