Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare high ankle block and general anesthesia on wound recovery and ankle blood flow perfusion after diabetes foot surgery in diabetics. The main questions it aims to answer are: - weather the high ankle block can fast wound recovery after the surgery - weather the high ankle block can improve ankle blood flow perfusion after the surgery Participants will receive either high ankle block or general anesthesia during surgery. After the operation, foot ulcer area and pulse perfusion index will be measured on the postoperative day of 1 and 14; lower limb hemodynamic parameters will be measured by ultrasound on the postoperative days of 1, 7, and 14. Researchers will compare high ankle block and general anesthesia to see if they have the different on the wound recovery and blood flow perfusion of the patients' foot.
This is a pilot and feasibility study for a mobile phone-delivered intervention for memory, called MEMI (memory ecological momentary intervention), that was designed to support adults with chronic traumatic brain injury with their memory. The goal of the study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of MEMI and to assess preliminary efficacy as to whether technology-delivered spaced memory retrieval opportunities improve memory in people with and without a history of chronic traumatic brain injury.
The purpose of this observational study is to find out the impact of pressure injury education on the knowledge level of pediatric intensive care nurses and the likelihood of pediatric pressure injury occurrence. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does pressure injury education increase nurses knowledge level on pediatric pressure injuries? - Does the rate of pediatric pressure injuries decrease after the education? The researcher will compare nurses working in two separate pediatric intensive care units where similar patients are treated to see if planned education on pressure injuries affects nurses knowledge level and the rate of pediatric pressure injuries. - Volunteer nurses participating in the study will answer pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher. - Nurses in the intervention group will attend planned education sessions provided by the researcher. - Two weeks after the completion of the education sessions, all nurses in the intervention and control groups who wish to continue participating in the study will answer the pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher again.
Collect data on various wound treatments and their related wound healing process, in real life settings. Analyze the safety and efficacy of wound treatments, including: advanced biological/synthetic grafts and standard of wound care treatments.
This study is a randomized controlled trial at eight hospitals within the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center-UPMC system. The project will assess the efficacy of a clinical surveillance system augmented with real-time predictive analytics to support a pharmacist-led intervention delivered to attending physicians (primary service) to reduce the progression and complications of drug-associated acute kidney injury (D-AKI) in hospitalized (non-ICU) adults.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare effects of marijuana or cannabis on neuropathic pain and spasticity in spinal cord injury patients. The main question is: Does the cannabis product from KhonKaen University reduce neuropathic pain and spasticity in spinal cord injury patients? The research design is a crossover study. The participants will be randomly into 2 groups: group 1 and group 2. The participants received either cannabis or placebo for 2 weeks. After completing treatment, participants were swapped to the other group for 2 weeks, a wash-out period is 2 weeks. The outcome measurements are pain and spasticity.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the capacity of allogenic mesenchymal stromal cells form bone marrow (BM-MSC) or adipose tissue(Ad-MSC) to induce wound healing in patients with burn wounds.
Spasticity is one of the most common symptoms manifested in humans with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the neural mechanisms underlying the development of spasticity over time after an acute SCI are not yet understood. Using electrophysiological and imaging techniques along with traditional measurements of neurological recovery in the acute rehabilitation setting including physical exam and functional assessments; the investigators aim to examine the relationship between development of spasticity, residual descending motor pathways and functional and neurological recovery in humans with SCI from acute to subacute phase
Wound complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can arise from many patient-specific factors, such as vascular or immune-related medical conditions, obesity, and smoking, among others. The development of early wound complications can lead to increased length of hospital stay and more serious complications, including deep infection and major subsequent surgery. However, there are modifiable variables that could affect the risk of getting wound complications, such as the closure technique. This study aims to analyze the difference in rates of wound complications using two different closure techniques in primary TKA.
This study will assess the feasibility and efficacy of 3 treatments to increase physical activity during and after inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) for new spinal cord injuries: 1. Program of sprint interval training (SIT) on an arm crank ergometer during IPR 2. SIT + Provision of an arm ergometer (ERGO) for home use 3. SIT + ERGO for home use + Motivational interviewing to increase adherence to exercise during and after IPR. The primary outcome is minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity at 6 months after IPR discharge. Secondary outcomes include peak power on the 6-Minute Arm Test at IPR discharge and self-reported physical activity, depression, fatigue, pain, community participation, and quality of life at 6 months after IPR discharge. The investigators will obtain data on feasibility, acceptability, and perceived benefits of the treatments from stakeholders. The results of this pilot study will inform the design of a larger randomized trial.
