Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Investigation of the predictive value of Near Infrared Spectroscopy in Chronic Lower Extremity and Other Chronic non-healing Ulcers

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical and economical effect of introduction of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the diagnostic and treatment protocol of patients with lower extremity (LE) ulcers as well as other chronic non-healing ulcers, and to determine a positive and/or negative predictive value or range of values for NIRS correlating to patient progress and outcomes.
