Trial summary

Vascular and neurological mechanisms are both likely to be involved in foot ulcer. We recently reported on the hand an original transient pressure-induced vasodilation (PIV) during a 5 mmHg/min increase of pressure strain using laser Doppler flowmetry. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Microcirculation cutanée et Vasodilatation Induite Par la Pression Non-Nociceptive Chez Les diabètiques

Vascular and neurological mechanisms are both likely to be involved in foot ulcer. We recently reported on the hand an original transient pressure-induced vasodilation (PIV) during a 5 mmHg/min increase of pressure strain using laser Doppler flowmetry. This physiological response to non noxious external local pressure strain is a widely protective cutaneous mechanism. The impairment of PIV in diabetic subjects may be relevant to the high prevalence of foot ulcer that occurs in these individuals. The aim of the project is to analyse the different physiopathological processes involved in PIV impairment in diabetic subjects as compared to matched controls.

Read the detailed description

The whole study is a prospective observational study of diabetic type 1 and type 2 subjects focusing on the various physical, physiopathological or pharmacological mechanisms that may interfere with the normal response of the cutaneous microcirculation.The study is currently conducted under various parallel groups of patients and control subjects matched on age and sexe. Techniques used for the study are only non-invasive investigations such as iontophoresis with laser doppler flowmetry, clinical and paraclinical non-invasive investigation of peripheral neuropathy, ultrasound imaging of peripheral arteries.

Being tested
local heating, iontophoresis, actylcholine, sodium nitroprusside
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2007. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jean Louis Saumet, MD PhD (+33 (0) 241.35.36.89), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00160927, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 19 Mar 2007; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
