Lifestyle Intervention for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
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.
