Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation and Controlled Heat for Blood Flow
This study is looking at whether combining electrical stimulation and controlled heat, delivered through a special boot, can increase blood flow to the foot. Researchers want to see if this combination works better than just heat alone or no treatment, in people both with and without diabetes. This research could be helpful for people with diabetes who have wounds that are slow to heal. You might be able to join if you are between 45 and 75 years old and have a diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes that is well-controlled (HbA1c of 7% or less). The main goal is to measure blood flow during 30 minutes of electrical stimulation and heat application. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 20 participants.
- What's involved
- You would sit comfortably while your temperature, heart rate, and oxygen levels are taken. A sensor would be placed on your foot to record blood flow.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Blood perfusion will be measured during 30 minutes of electrical stimulation and heat application.
