A Study to Evaluate Microvessel Ultrasound Imaging of Wound Healing in Patients With Chronic Ulcers

Microvessel Ultrasound Imaging of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissues to Evaluate Wound Healing in Patients With Chronic Ulcers

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 10 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Mayo Clinic · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this research is to explore the use of high-resolution microvessel ultrasound imaging system to look for scarring and to monitor wound healing and to see if treatment affects the amount of tiny vessels and circulation around the wound.

Conditions

• Non-Healing Ulcer of Skin
• Non-healing Wound
• Lower Extremity Wound

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Microvessel Ultrasound Examination	Ultrasound to evaluate microvessel formation and elastography or stiffness of the tissues around the ulcer and in an area of unaffected skin
PROCEDURE	Skin Biopsy	Dermatology will remove a small piece of skin from the affected ulcer area and control skin
