A Pilot Study of the Impact of Passive, Garment-based Infrared Therapy on Oxygenation in the Feet and Lower Legs of Patients With Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active IR sock and Placebo socks for Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study seeks to prove that wraps manufactured with infrared textile are capable of augmenting peripheral circulation in the lower legs, arm and feet of participants with Diabetes Mellitus. Infrared is currently used in saunas and various textiles as general wellness products that purport to improve various health conditions and augment microcirculation. This study is intended to investigate specifically whether wraps capable of harnessing infrared energy can improve oxygenation in the feet, arms and lower legs of diabetics using noninvasive transcutaneous oximetry to do so.
