Filter by:To study the effect of adding ESWT as a noninvasive short-term treatment plus high-level laser therapy for moderate carpal-tunnel syndrome post-burn injuries.
There is currently no standard treatment to prevent burn depth conversion in partial-thickness burns. Conversion into deeper wounds is associated with higher complications and morbidity. The most common theory attributes this depth conversion to the prolonged inflammatory response that occurs after burn injury. Therefore, the investigators propose testing the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus ointment (an immunosuppressive agent) in patients with deep partial-thickness burns.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn whether vitamin D is able to prevent chronic pain following burn injury and to determine what biological mechanisms are engaged by Vitamin D following burn injury. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is the clinical trial protocol feasible? - Is Vitamin D administration following burn injury safe? - How does vitamin D cause changes in the immune system in the aftermath of burn injury? Following informed consent, participants will be asked to: - Take 6 capsules by mouth one time following burn injury (Vitamin D or Placebo) - Provide a blood sample at baseline and 6 weeks following injury - Fill out surveys daily while in the hospital, weekly through 6 weeks, and at 3 months and 6 months. Researchers will compare Vitamin D and placebo groups to see if there are differences in adverse effects (side effects), chronic pain, and profiles of immune cells from collected blood samples.
The purpose of this study is to examine effects of laser therapy on blood flow and sweating responses in burn-injured skin.
The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of STAT, an activity-based therapy protocol compared to standard therapy (ST) to improve functional outcome and reduce disability in patients recovering from burn injury. This randomized multi-center trial is designed with two parallel treatment groups: STAT and ST. Efficacy of the STAT protocol will be determined through comparison to the ST only group. It will be conducted at seven burn centers.
This is a prospective randomized multi-center study which will compare acute fluid resuscitation using a colloid strategy (LR + 5% Albumin) to a crystalloid strategy (LR alone), in adults with an acute burn involving at least 25% of their total body surface area.
The main aim of this intervention study is to test the hypothesis if school based educational intervention program will significantly improve the knowledge of primary school student on childhood burn prevention in Kuala Lumpur. The secondary aim the evaluate the association of demographics background, burn injury history with knowledge on burn. The study was conducted in 12 primary school in Kuala Lumpur from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2017 in three different phases.
To test the hypotheses that plasma and intracellular coenzyme Q10 levels will decline after burn injury and that ubiquinol supplementation will increase plasma and intracellular coenzyme Q10 levels in burn patients. To test the hypothesis that ubiquinol supplementation ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction/disintegrity and metabolic derangements, and decreases circulating alarmins (a.k.a. endogenous DAMPs) in burn patients as compared with placebo.
Studies have shown that burn patients may benefit from low fat diets, but there is still no strong data regarding the impact of fatty acid composition used for feeding. The trial test the hypothesis that the inclusion of omega-3 PUFA in a low fat diet may improve outcome. Prospective randomised controlled trial in adult patients admitted for burns > 15% body surface area (BSA), and inhalation injury requiring mechanical ventilation and enteral nutrition. On admission randomization to receive a low-fat (18% energy as fat) modular enteral diet (LF-EN) and identical with the half of fat provided by fish oil (FO-EN). Study endpoints: mechanical ventilation time, inflammation (CRP), infectious and other complications, mortality until discharge. The study is planed as 2 parts: 1) preliminary study testing the feasibility of the study, 2) the study completed with information from the preliminary phase, both phases being randomised and controlled.
Evaluation of clinical efficacy of my skin (hydrogel and polyurethane film) plus best practice clinical care in subjects with burn injuries with particular regard to: 1) Wound healing (complete reepithelialization), 2) the patient's pain. In the context of the study will be collected secondary outcomes related to type of lesion and its clinical evolution through the analysis of the items in the scale of the PSST.
