Pressure therapy (PT) and silicone therapy are recommended as first-line non-invasive treatment for Hypertrophic Scar (HS), yet the effectiveness of the combination of these two treatments through an RCT trial has not been established yet. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the combination of adequate pressure therapy and silicone gel sheeting implemented by Smart Scar Care Pad (SSCP) + conventional Pressure Garment (PG) versus conventional Pressure Garment (PG) alone in the management of HS in adult with total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR). This study also aims to find out the prevalence of hypertrophic scar among patients with THR and TKR. This study is a randomised controlled trial with two parallel arms, with allocation ratio (Experimental: Control) of 1: 1 in order to establish the superiority of SSCP + PG over PG. Subjects with hypertrophic scar will be randomly assigned to either treatment or control group. The subjects in the treatment group will be provided with the SSCP and PG for treatment, whereas the subjects in the control group will be prescribed only the PG. The treatment will last for a total of 6 months. A variety of objective outcome measures will be used to analysis the treatment effect.
Skin scarring (fibrosis) is a common complication in the wound healing process and remains a therapeutic challenge. Scar formation often occurs following injury to the skin such as surgery, trauma, and burns. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of visible red light as a modality to reduce skin scarring after mini-facelift surgery. Based on laboratory data, light emitting diode-red light (LED-RL) phototherapy may lessen post-surgical skin fibrosis clinically.
Hypertrophic scars and keloids are physically and mentally disturbed, and in addition, can cause pain and itching. Various treatment is utilized to diminish or counteract scarring. The purpose of this study was conducted to compare the effect of Silicone gel, Contractubex gel and Corticosteroid Phonophoresis for Post-burn Hypertrophic Scars. Forty-five patients with hypertrophic scars after 2 to 4 months post thermal burn, their age groups ranged from 20-45 years. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups; Group A: 15 patients (8 males and 7 females) received phonophoresis with Silicone gel, Group B: 15 patients (8 males and 7 females) received phonophoresis with Contractubex gel and Group C: 15 patients (9 males and 6 females) received Corticosteroid phonophoresis. All treatment interventions were applied at a frequency of 3sessions /week for 24 weeks. Outcome measures were performed through modified Vancouver scar scale. The assessment was done pretreatment, after 12 weeks and after 24 weeks of the treatment.
Corticosteroid therapy, including intralesional and topical applications, has many indications within the fields of Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Orthopedics. However, these injections can be quite painful, which leads many patients to discontinue treatment. Often, the injection involves a mixture of local anesthetic and corticosteroids despite a lack of evidence that the use of lidocaine improves pain. Due to the acidic pH, the lidocaine component of the injection can actually cause a significant burning sensation during the procedure. Lidocaine does not have anti-inflammatory properties and does not treat the underlying pathology. By including another medication, lidocaine also adds cost and risk to the procedure. The purpose of this study is to see if removing lidocaine from intralesional injections decreases the pain of injection.
The Study Drug is an investigational drug which is being developed by OliX Pharmaceuticals Inc., with an aim to help people who develop hypertrophic scars (a type of permanent scar) in the future. Hypertrophic scars are formed when a wound becomes red, raised, and itchy before it eventually heals. These scars tend to develop due to disease, surgical operations, or burns. Available physical treatment methods to remove scars include surgery or laser therapy; however these are often accompanied by further complications including pain and recurrence of the scar and can be costly. Similarly, therapeutic agents such as ointments or oral drugs have little to no effect in preventing or treating hypertrophic scars. The aims of this Study are to determine the safety of the Study Drug and any side effects that might be associated with it, and how much of the Study Drug gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to remove it. The healthy adult subjects can participate in this study in the age between 18 and 60 years old in the UK. This study will be conducted in 2 parts, Part A and B. Part A will be a single subcutaneous or intradermal dose, dummy controlled study. Part B will be a multiple intradermal dose, dummy controlled study.
This study explores the smart scar care pad's potential therapeutic effect in treatment hypertrophic scar while elucidating the adverse effects if there is any. Half of the participant receives traditional treatment of pressure garment and the other half receives the smart scar care pad together with pressure garment.
Linked to previous Clinical Trial E92:069 in which biochemical effect of 1,4 diaminobutane was studied in human scar harvested at revision surgery after a 12 week application. Analytical data was collected in this phase of the work completed in 1999. This was then followed by clinical correlation in a scar prevention model with topical application of 1,4 diaminobutane for 12 weeks and measuring duredness , as well photographic and POSAS score data for quality of scar formation.
The purpose of the trial is to provide objective evidence the SkinStylus may be used safely and effectively for the treatment of ventral torso hypertrophic scars.
This is a randomized, controlled, within-patient, single-blinded, pilot study that will evaluate the impact of laser treatment on burn HSc relative to self-matched control scars. The studied primary outcomes of treatment are scar pliability, thickness, vascularity, pain, itch and patient satisfaction.
