ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how a person's psychological profile might affect the healing of foot wounds in patients with type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to understand if individuals with a "Type A" personality—who tend to be more competitive and stressed—heal differently than those with a "Type B" personality, who are generally more relaxed and less combative. The study will include 308 patients with type 2 diabetes who have a new foot wound, all being treated at the Dijon Bourgogne University Hospital.

To participate, individuals must be over 18 years old, have type 2 diabetes, and be referred for treatment of a foot wound. Those who are pregnant, unable to consent, or under legal protections won't be included. Participants will complete a self-questionnaire to assess their psychological profile and will be monitored for how their wounds heal over time. This trial is important because it could help doctors understand how personality traits influence healing and possibly reduce the risk of severe complications, like amputation, for diabetic patients.
