Filter by:This efficacy study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of aspirin for venous leg ulcer healing. The study also examines whether patients can be recruited to a larger study. Patients with chronic venous leg ulceration presenting and undergoing care in leg ulcer community clinics or hospital out-patient clinics, or registered with a clinic but are receiving care at home will be recruited. All patients will receive standard compression bandaging. Half of the participants will be randomised to receive aspirin, while the other half will receive a placebo.
This is comparison trial comparing human dermis to standard wound care for non healing diabetic wound
The primary aims of this phase I/II, randomized, placebo controlled study are the assessment of safety and tolerability of universal donor FMT compared to placebo in pediatric and young adult subjects (ages 5 years through 30 years) with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or active Crohn's colitis (CD) who have failed, are intolerant to, or have refused traditional first-line maintenance therapy. Secondary objectives include the identification biomarkers in both donor and recipient that may confer a clinical response and to establish whether or not ongoing FMT maintenance therapy is required for maintenance of clinical benefit in pediatric UC or pediatric CD.
This study evaluated the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on wound healing, inflammation index, glycemic control, amputation rate, survival rate of tissue, bacterial wound cultures, and quality of life (QOL) in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients with diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and economical benefits of Cyclical Pressure Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) Therapy in the treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers. Subjects will wear a standardized off-loading device and use advanced moist wound therapy (AMWT) dressings. Following a 2 week run-in period with the standardized care and after meeting all the eligibility criteria, half the subjects will use the TWO2 device, while the other half will use a sham device.
An observational, prospective cohort study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Remsima™ in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
Pressure ulcers are prevalent conditions that result in substantial financial costs to the healthcare system as well as significant distress to affected patients and their families. This study is a parallel two-group randomized controlled trial that aims to study how the use of a pressure sensing device with continuous visual feedback of pressure imaging may potentially decrease the interface pressure of patients who are at risk of pressure ulcers in an acute hospital setting.
The goal of the Cellular and Tissue Based Therapy Registry (CTPR) for Wounds is to provide real world patient data from electronic health records submitted to meet Stage 2 Meaningful Use in order to understand the value of these products among patients with chronic wounds and ulcers. Randomized, controlled trials to establish product efficacy routinely exclude patients with the co-morbid conditions common to patients seen in usual clinical practice and thus the results of these RCTs tend to be non-generalizable. Little is known about the effectiveness of CTPs among typical patients.
HealthPROMISE is a mobile application (app) for patients that allows regular tracking of symptoms by patients and communicates them to physicians. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the impact of the HealthPROMISE application on improving patient outcomes. The trial will look at how much patients use the application, whether physicians change treatment in response to new information from patients, and how the patients quality of life change over the span of the study. The investigators hypothesize that HealthPROMISE will enhance physician-patient communication and improve clinical outcomes.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to two chronic diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) that affect the intestines. The number of new cases of IBD in people younger than 16 years old has been increasing in the United Kingdom (UK), and is currently estimated to be 700 new cases every year. There is no cure for IBD and patients experience episodes of flareups in between periods of wellbeing. Traditionally, children with IBD are asked to attend regular hospital appointments. This means that, even if they are well, they have to get to the hospital and this can involve travelling long distances. Telephone consultations have been shown to be beneficial in some areas of medicine but this approach has not been well studied in children. The aims of this study are to determine whether telephone consultations would improve quality of life, patient satisfaction, proportion of consultations attended and whether they would be safe and reduce costs for patients and the National Health Service (NHS). Investigators plan a randomised controlled trial involving 92 participants recruited from amongst the 250 children and adolescents aged between 8 and 16 years who attend the regional paediatric IBD centre in Manchester. Half will be assigned to telephone consultations, and half to face to face consultations. The study would have the approval of the local ethics committee and participants would have provided written consent. Investigators will compare outcomes in the two groups over 2 years. If telephone consultations prove to be effective, the NHS could offer children with IBD the choice of either telephone consultation or face to face consultation for their outpatient followup. Those who are doing well would not have to make unnecessary journeys to the hospital. This would free up clinic spaces and allow patients who are unwell, and new patients to be seen more quickly, thus reducing waiting
