Filter by:The study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of daily post surgical scar management, using a moisture-balancing base product containing different amounts of a novel (NCE) antifibrogenic compound FS2, a natural metabolite of the kynurenine pathway. Results of recent peer-reviewed, pre-clinical evidence warrant further investigation to validate therapeutic scar preventive efficacy of topically administered/delivered FS2. There are no known safety concerns with current product formulations. Recent Phase I clinical safety and tolerability data further support continuation of the research proposed in this study.
A Phase II prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled and comparative clinical study evaluating hydrogel scar-management modalities for effective management of hyperproliferative scars and keloids. This is a double-blinded study, which means that neither the evaluating physician nor the subject will know which treatment is administered. Group selection and assignment will be made at random, with a 2 in 5 chance of receiving a market-approved therapy, and 1 in 5 chance of receiving the placebo. Subjects assigned the placebo-moisturizer will receive a standard hypoallergenic dermatological hydrating cream base. Subjects assigned the silicone gel, will receive a commercially available, active comparator.
An Independent Evaluator-Blind, Dose-Escalation, Untreated-Controlled, Within-Subject, Phase 2a Therapeutic Exploratory Clinical Trial
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of pulsed dye laser on managing scar vascularity and thickness.
Botulinum toxins has been approved by the FDA to treat chronic migraine. Botox had been shown to inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and peripheral neurotransmitters from sensory nerve to treat neuropathic pain. In the clinical practice, botox indeed effect in scar pain. However, investigators need well controlled study to prove this finding and assess the improvement of scar appearance.
Hypertrophic burn scars are experienced by more than 70% of burn victims. They are a major source of decreased quality of life in burn patients due to pain, decreased range of motion, and poor cosmetic appearance. Current treatment strategies (including fat grafting and laser resurfacing) are either highly invasive, prohibitively costly, or painful. Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) does not require anesthesia, and is an inexpensive, safe, fast, and less painful alternative that has been recognized for its role in reducing scars associated with acne, among other things. While PRP has not been studied specifically in burn scars, there is sufficient theoretical and practical evidence that it will improve the appearance and feel of these debilitating scars, representing a large potential benefit for these patients with minimal associated risk.
1. Test the ability of botulinum toxin type A, when injected into the surgical incision at the time of surgery, to decrease postoperative scar scores compared to control (normal saline) in a double-blinded randomized control trial. 2. Investigate the mechanism of BTXa effects of scar formation by measuring micro RNA profiles at two time points in the healing process.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intradermal injection of Nanofat on wound healing and scar formation.
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.
