Protocol summary

Study aim
Since the use of stem cells and diabetes disease are considered as research priorities of the national science foundation, this research tries to heal diabetic foot ulcer effectively by using the stem cells which loaded on nanofiber scaffolds.
Design
The sample size of the study is 20 which will be divided into control and intervention groups by simple randomization.
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed at Endocrine & Metabolism Research Center affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Diabetic patients who are suffering from diabetic foot ulcer will be divided into two completely matched groups. The control group will receive conventional treatment only. The intervention group will receive stem cells bandage in addition to usual treatment. The blinding will not be done in this research.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age 21 to 65 years old, having diabetic foot wounds that have not recovered despite treatment during the past month, feeling pain while walking and resting, signature written consent. Exclusion criteria: Age over 65 years old, pregnancy or breastfeeding, the presence of septicemia, other systemic diseases in which the kidney is involved, hospitalization due to a serious illness in the past two months, severe malnutrition, the presence of foot ulcer due to all reasons except diabetes and any allergy to the compounds used in the cell culture process.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Diabetic patients with foot ulcer who received stem cell therapy in addition to routine treatment. Control group: Diabetics patients with foot ulcer who only received routine treatment.
Main outcome variables
Wound size based on cm2; The distance that the patient can walk without pain; Biochemical markers including ALT, AST, Bilirubin, FBS, TG, Cholesterol, BUN, Cr

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Diabetic patients with foot ulcer will receive stem cell therapy in addition to routine treatment. The stem cells will be loaded on nanofiber scaffolds in the central lab to prepare and then use the bandages. The treatment sessions will take one to two months, such that in each week one bandage will be put on the foot of patients topically. The patients are regularly visited twice in a week.
