Preventing Diabetic Foot Ulcers Through Manipulating the Skin Microbiota
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Foot complications are among the most serious and costly complications of diabetes. People with diabetes have a 10-fold increased risk for a leg or foot amputation compared to those that do not have diabetes. Amputation of all or part of foot is usually preceded by a foot ulcer, which became infected. This is a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a topical antiseptic, chlorhexidine, for daily foot cleaning on the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers in Veterans at high risk of a diabetic foot ulcer.
