Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to develop and test a tailored occupational therapist-led lifestyle-focused intervention to aid patients in improving diabetic foot ulcer care. The main questions it aims to answer are to determine the acceptability and feasibility of taking a tailored lifestyle-focused approach as part of comprehensive diabetic foot ulcer management. Patient participants with DFUs who require offloading treatment will receive the tailored lifestyle-focused self-management intervention.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults over 21 who speak English or Spanish and have an active diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) that requires offloading, which means reducing pressure on the foot to help healing.

Inclusion Criteria

I have had a diabetic foot ulcer that required special footwear or a cast.
I am 21 years old or older.
