About this study

The objective is to define patient eligibility for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and to evaluate wound healing progression using a new hyperspectral imaging technology.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this clinical study is to define patient eligibility for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and to evaluate wound healing progression during HBOT using a new hyperspectral imaging technology (OxyVu).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Wounds, run by HyperMed at 3 sites 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 5 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

OxyVu measurements will be compared to transcutaneous oxygen measurements pre and post HBOT (time frame: Days 1, 7, 14, 21, 4wks, and 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00768027, which also lists 8 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 4 Jun 2009.
