Filter by:This study is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial at a single site. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of ST266 in diabetic subjects with deep burns. The secondary objectives of this study are to (1) evaluate efficacy of ST266 in healing burns and (2) evaluate whether treatment with ST266 results in less scarring, in subjects with diabetes separately comparing healing of the skin graft and the skin graft donor site using ST266 plus a burn dressing versus placebo and a burn dressing.
This clinical study compares two fluid resuscitation treatments in patients suffering from burns injury. The treatments are Volulyte® and Human Serum Albumin (HSA) which will be administered as infusion solutions. It will be evaluated whether Volulyte® is effective and safe, and provides any benefit.
Forty percent of patients admitted to the contributing regional burn unit over a five month period received facial burns (n=14). The purpose of this study is to examine if the time until a granulation bed is well established can be decreased be using an enzymatic agent, when compared to a second standard ointment, for patients with partial-thickness facial burns. The current study will use a prospective, experimental study design in which each individual will be their own matched control. That is, each individual will receive both the experimental ointment (one-side of the face) and the standard ointment (other-side of the face). Outcomes measured will be the benefits (e.g., decreased in the time until granulation bed establishment) one ointment achieves in partial-thickness facial burns when compared to a second ointment. Exploratory analyses will examine the relationships among demographic variables, granulation bed establishment time, pain, anxiety, itching, and scarring. That is, testing whether the time until granulation establishment may be associated with an individual's demographic variables, treatment type, pain, anxiety, itching levels, and scarring. Significance for all analysis will be at the 0.05 level. The investigators hypothesize that promoting rapid granulation bed establishment will decrease hospital length of stays, costs, risk of infection, and possibly associated appearance changes. The results from the current study will provide preliminary findings for a future, more sophisticated study.
The main goal of this phase III clinical trial is to show safety and efficacy of Oleogel-S10 in the acceleration of wound healing of grade 2a burn wounds.
The purpose of this research study is to test how well the investigational treatment, Engineered Skin Substitutes (ESS-W), works for covering and treating burn wounds. The areas of the body that are treated with ESS-W will be compared to similar areas treated with the patient's own skin (split-thickness skin autograft (AG)). A skin autograft (AG) will be performed by taking healthy skin from one area of the body and placing it on the burned area.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the P6 Low Adherent Study Dressing relative to the Standard of Care (SOC, Mafenide Acetate 5% Solution) for the management of skin grafts in burn wounds resulting from thermal burn injuries.
Approximately 55-65 subjects from 3-6 sites suffering from a burn injury covering 1-25% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) will be evaluated providing they fulfill all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and have given a signed and dated informed consent. Study site will be from 1-15%. Each subject will be followed once a week for a maximum of 3 weeks or until the burn is healed if that occurs earlier. All dressing changes will be performed at the clinic and gauze rolls will be used as secondary dressing. All dressing changes will be registered in a dressing log. All subjects will be consecutively allocated to a subject code.
While the literature tends to support the use of laser therapy in the management of burn scars, there is a definite lack of appropriately powered, randomized controlled trials. Laser therapy can be quite expensive when compared to other treatment modalities for burn scars, and while promising, its true usefulness has yet to be conclusively demonstrated. For this reason, our assessing the effects of fractional vascular lasers on burn scars. It has been hypothesized that the fractional vascular lasers work on mature scars to decrease scar formation, and the fractional laser works on scar that is quiescent to promote remodelling. The retexturing/ resurfacing of the laser theoretically can decrease the visibility of the mesh pattern created by meshed split thickness skin graft). Objective: To determine the benefit of fractional vascular laser treatment in improving burn scar height, texture, vascularity and pliability in late burn scars.
Exercise during recovery is now Standard of Care at Shriners Hospital for Children Galveston, since positive effects of exercise training were found on lean body mass and recovery after burns. Essential amino acids (EAA) effective in healthy individuals.Thus, EAA supplementation in children recovering from burns, may potentially augment the effects of exercise by increase muscle mass, improve muscle fat oxidation, reduce tissue fat, and possibly improve insulin resistance.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted burn prevention message on burn safety knowledge and behavior.
