Botulinum Toxins, Type A Wound Chronic Ulcer Of Lower Extremity Blood Circulation

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well an injection of botulinum toxin A can help heal wounds on the lower legs of people who have poor blood flow, a condition known as lower extremity ischemia. The main goal is to see if this treatment can improve healing for patients who have chronic ulcers that aren't responding to other treatments. The trial is currently recruiting participants who are at least 20 years old and have a wound between 1x1 cm and 3x3 cm in size.

To be eligible for the study, participants need to have moderate to severe lower extremity ischemia and should not be able to undergo other procedures to improve blood flow, like angioplasty. Participants will need to be able to follow the study's requirements and provide written consent to join. Those who have certain neurological conditions, are taking specific medications, or have recently used other treatments for their wound may not qualify. If you or a loved one is interested in this study, it could be a chance to explore a new potential treatment for difficult-to-heal wounds.
