Trial summary

Diabetes and Periodontitis are both prevalent diseases affecting millions of Americans. Periodontitis is prevalent among Diabetics. Furthermore, Periodontitis and associated inflammation can increase insulin resistance in Diabetics and worsens the condition. Read more about this study

About this study

Diabetes and Periodontitis are both prevalent diseases affecting millions of Americans. Periodontitis is prevalent among Diabetics. Furthermore, Periodontitis and associated inflammation can increase insulin resistance in Diabetics and worsens the condition. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has the potential to improve periodontal treatment outcome in poorly controlled diabetics. The study will compare periodontal treatment (SRP) outcome between 2 main diabetic type 2 patient groups receiving medical care treatment: either Conventional Wound Therapies (CWC) with or without adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at LLU Health.

24 poorly controlled diabetic mellitus (DM) type 2 subjects (HbA1c =>7%) with Periodontitis will be assigned into the study arms HBO therapy and Non HBO therapy, based on their medical needs.

For all subjects demographic data (age, gender, ethnicity, smoking history, alcohol use history, BMI, current medication list) and oral health habits will be obtained. Blood samples for HbA1c determinations, clinical periodontal measurements (plaque index, probing measurements including pocket depth, attachment levels, gingival index and bleeding-on-probing) and subgingival microbial samples will be obtained at baseline and end of the study. Subgingival microbial samples will be collected from three randomly selected sites and analyzed for detection of about 300 of the most prevalent oral bacterial species. Differences in periodontal clinical outcomes and bacterial profiles will be identified utilizing ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Counts of Each Subgingival Bacterial Species

    Subgingival microbial samples will be obtained at baseline and end of the study. Subgingival microbial samples will be collected from three randomly selected sites with probing depth =>5mm. Collected microbial samples will be processed for HOMINGS analysis (The Human Oral Microbe Identification Microarray). Counts and proportions of each bacterial species will be determined for each subject and then averaged across subjects in the two groups. Differences in bacterial profiles will be analyzed using the repeated measures ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) procedure for paired observations.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy and Conventional Wound Therapies in people with Diabetes and Periodontitis, run by Loma Linda University 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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Counts of Each Subgingival Bacterial Species (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 13 Mar 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
