Although there has been recent progress in DFU clinical trials, most existing scoping reviews have primarily focused on nursing or diagnostic methods. This review analyzed the characteristics of current DFU clinical trials and assessed research methods. This review focused on refining trial design and provide evidence-based methods for improving treatment outcomes and prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study searched clinical trials registered in ClinicalTrials and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) (up to August 1, 2025). In addition, the study searched PubMed for clinical trials that were published from August 1, 2015, to August 1, 2025.

Meanwhile, interventions have grown more varied, with skin transplantation, tissue replacement products, and dressings being widely used in clinical practice. Nonetheless, these studies face challenges, such as low methodological quality, lack of primary care studies, and low follow-up rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The number of DFU clinical trials has increased, and the intervention strategies have become more varied.
