Filter by:By doing this study, researchers hope to learn if applying Santyl to the burn during the healing process affects the appearance of the resulting scar.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the safety and exploratory efficacy of the medical collagen membrane with umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of patients with skin defects.
Persons with burn-related pain remain under treated and do not have access to comprehensive burn pain management. We seek to extend evidence-based cognitive behavioral pain management strategies to a group of burn survivors that are currently under treated for for burn pain with a specific goal of reducing pain related interference in life activities. Investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the central hypothesis that a computer-based cognitive-behavioral program (Take Charge of Burn Pain) will improve pain management, psychological health, and improve participation in burn survivors. Specific aims include: 1) to determine the efficacy of a web-based self-management intervention in reducing pain and pain-related interference and increasing pain management self-efficacy; and 2) to determine whether Take Charge of Burn Pain improves psychological health and participation in life activities in persons with burn injury pain. Emerging research suggests that web-based pain management interventions may be a feasible and effective alternative to clinic-based interventions for patients with mobility and geographic restrictions, such as those treated at tertiary burn centers.
This is a randomized, controlled, multi-centre, open-label study. A total of 40 patients will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be randomly assigned to Betafoam® or Allevyn® Silver dressing for burn wounds after acute burn injury.
This clinical trial is a Phase II controlled, parallel, open-label trial, designed to test the efficacy and safety of ALLO-ASC-DFU and conventional therapy in Deep Second-degree burn wound subjects.
The primary objective of the overall study is to determine the feasibility and usefulness of a feedback system that delivers BOQ results to physicians in "real time" during outpatient encounters using iPads.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether melatonin is effective in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS).
Primary goal of this study is the analysis of HLA (Human leucocyte antigen) formation in severly burned patients. Potential HLA triggers in the treatment of severely burned patients are blood products, assist devices or temporary allogeneic skin. Besides that, inflammatory markers, such as WBC (white blood cell count), CRP (C-reactive protein), PCT (Procalcitonin) and two novel biomarkers (PSP (pancreatic stone protein), ST2) are to be investigated in severely burned patients.
Post burn flexion contractures are common in pediatric age group. Release of contracture and coverage with full thickness skin graft (FTSG) is a widely used procedure for this problem. This procedure is routinely done under tourniquet control because bloodless operative field is essential to visualize important neurovascular structures in hand. Use of tumescent technique without a tourniquet is gaining acceptance because it avoids complications associated with tourniquet use, maintains a blood less surgical field and decreases operative time. Furthermore use of tumescent anesthesia often results in better surgical outcomes. Although the benefits of tumescent technique used in wide awake hand surgery are well documented, epinephrine at a concentration of 1:1 000,00 has also been used as a replacement for pneumatic tourniquet for release of hand contracture in infants and adults under general anesthesia. Thus epinephrine 1:1,000,00 in saline solution can be a potential replacement for a tourniquet in hand surgeries done under general anesthesia.
Pain Associated with partial thickness burns (PTB) is very severe and distressing for the patients.Topical conventional treatment of superficial PTB wounds includes application of polyfax skin ointment plus lignocain gel twice a day after wound wash while deep PTB are treated with silvazine cream twice a day and prepared for grafting if not healed within 3 weeks. Existing conventional therapy is un-comfortable and expensive for the patients. Search continues for a reliable, safe, cheap and effective treatment of burn.Topical use of heparin has been found effective in reducing pain associated with burn wounds. More over use of heparin topically in burn patients is easy to perform and cheap but at the moment, evidence of its effectiveness is weak. Current study is being conducted to verify clinical effectiveness of use of heparin in 2nd degree burns by comparing it with topical conventional treatment.
