Clinical Trial: BioimPEDance of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Characterisation by Electric Impedance Measurements of the Different Wound Healing Phases of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Brief Summary: The BIPPED study seeks to determine whether wound healing, in particular diabetic foot ulcers, can be monitored using electrical bioimpedance analysis (BIA). BIA measures the resistance of biological tissue to the passage of a very small electric current applied with electrodes. Different types of tissue, due to cell structure, hydration and vascularization, have specific electrical characteristics. The BIPPED study aims to provide experimental data for the development of a BIA sensor for monitoring of wound healing in chronic wounds.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble

Current Primary Outcome: Change in impedance [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

Correlation between electrical impedance of the wound measured with ECG electrodes placed at the periphery of the wound and changes in the size of the wound and the clinically observed stage of healing.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Impedance of different wound tissues [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

Characteristic impedance of different types of wound tissue


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
