Filter by:Objective: Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is chronic oral condition characterized with burning symptoms which affects perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. It seems that neuropathy might be the underlying cause of the condition. There are still insufficient data regarding successful therapy. The aim of this study was to compare efficacy of acupuncture and clonazepam in 42 BMS patients (38 women, 4 men), age range 66.7±12 years. Methods: Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Acupuncture was performed in group I during four weeks, 3 times per week on the points ST 8, GB 2, TB 21, SI 19, SI 18, LI 4 on both sides of the body as well as GV 20, each session lasted half an hour.Group II patients took clonazepam two times a day (0.5 mg) in the morning and after two weeks two tablets (0.5 mg) in the morning and in the evening during the next two weeks. Prior to and one month after either therapy, participants fulfilled questionnaires: visual analogue scale, Beck depression inventory, LANSS pain scale, 36-item short form Health Survey (SF-36) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Statistical analysis was performed by use of Student t test and Pearson's correlation test. P values lower than 0.05 were considered significant.
This is a randomized, within-subject controlled study to compare the clinical performance of the ReCell device when used as an adjunct to meshed skin graft in subjects requiring skin grafts for closure of burn injuries. Co-primary effectiveness endpoints include: (1) confirmed treatment area closure (i.e., healing) prior to or at 8 weeks as assessed by a blinded evaluator, and (2) a comparison of the actual expansion ratio, computed as the ratio of measured treated area to the measured donor site area, achieved for the ReCell-treated and control treatment areas. Safety will be evaluated in terms of long-term durability, scar outcomes and treatment-related adverse events.
The objective of the study is to assess the logistical and biological feasibility of preparing ADRCs from adipose tissue excised during standard-of-care burn wound excision using the Celution® System for autologous, same-day application to the burn wound.
The aim of this study is to understand why the regeneration of the cutaneous sensory nerve fibers is poor in post-burn scar. The presence or the lack of several molecular factors known to regulate neuronal cell development will be evaluate and compared within biopsies from healthy skin and post-burn scar.
This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, effectiveness and benefits of Self Assembled Skin Substitute SASS grafts as a permanent skin replacement for the treatment of full-thickness burn wounds that require permanent coverage where the availability of donor sites is limited.
Ocular chemical burn is one of the cause of vision loss in our country, and there are no satisfactory treatment. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have the biological characteristics of self-renewal, immune regulation, multidirectional differentiation and tissue repair. Our preliminary research showed that in corneal alkali injury rats, the MSC can accelerated the cornea repair, inhibited angiogenesis. The aim of this study is to access the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cell in the treatment of corneal burn in human.
The primary aim is to determine if this new technique will detect and identify bacteria in the blood sooner than standard blood cultures or identify patients who may be septic without growing bacteria in their cultures. These will be correlated with the data collected from medical records on presumed sepsis. These results will be linked to data concerning infection that will be available as part of routine care including blood counts and other laboratory values that would be part of the routine medical care such as a white blood cell count. The earlier the bacteria are identified and the appropriate antimicrobials are administered the better the patient outcome.
Specific Aim 1: To determine if one of three burn dressings provides a less painful healing experience for partial thickness hand. Specific Aim 2: To evaluate if one of three dressings provides greater functionality during and after healing of partial thickness hand burns. Specific Aim 3: To determine if one of three burn dressings promotes aesthetically superior healing results for partial thickness hand burns.
In the general intensive care unit (ICU) population, there is strong evidence for benefit from lung-protective mechanical ventilation, including the use of low tidal volumes and adequate levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). In burn patients it is highly uncertain whether these settings are beneficial and there are even concerns over safety of, in particular use of low tidal volumes. There is lack of international guidelines and consequently ventilation practice in burn patients may widely vary. The primary objective is to determine ventilation practice in burn ICUs worldwide, focusing on the size of tidal volumes and the levels of PEEP used for burn patients. In addition, data on other strategies considered important in patients who receive ventilation are also collected, including data on neuromuscular blocking agents, sedatives and analgesics, and type and amount of intravenous fluids used in the period of ventilation. The secondary objective is to determine the association between tidal volume size and levels of PEEP, and duration of ventilation in burn patients.
This study will be a two-arms study intending to demonstrate superiority of NexoBrid treatment over SOC in children with thermal burns. The study objective is to evaluate the safety and clinical benefit of NexoBrid in hospitalized children (0-17 years) with deep partial and/or full thickness thermal burns of 1-30% TBSA and to compare NexoBrid to standard of care (SOC).
