Research Study to Prevent Diabetic Ulcers Effectively
About D.U.R.A Research Study
Our Mission
Scientific studies indicate that nerve decompression at areas where nerves are pinched or trapped can significantly reduce the risk of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence. Historically, the annual recurrence rate has been reported at 25%, but this risk drops by more than 80%, falling to below 5% per year after the procedure.
Your doctor may recommend this surgery as a preventive step for your other foot, to stop ulcers before they start.

Neuropathy Pain and Tingling?
Neuropathy Pain and Tingling?
At D.U.R.A, our mission is to prevent or reduce the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers.
Some people with diabetes may benefit from a procedure called nerve decompression surgery.
This can help reduce pain, improve sensation, and possibly prevent future foot ulcers. You may be a candidate for this surgery intervention.

Neuropathy Pain and Tingling?
You’ve been diagnosed with diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy).

Are You At Risk for an Ulcer?
Neuropathy Pain and Tingling?
Are You At Risk for an Ulcer?
Do you have a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) that has healed, and you want to prevent it from coming back?
Do you have a slow-healing or hard-to-heal ulcer, especially if it’s caused by poor nerve and blood flow?
Do you have signs of early Charcot foot (a condition that weakens foot bones), even if you’re being treated but still getting worse?
Who is a Candidate for Nerve Decompression Surgery?
Do you have a healed neuropathic ulceration to your lower limb?
If so you may be a candidate to reduce your risk of having another foot ulcer!
