Filter by:Currently, physicians have several options in addressing the anatomic and physiologic sequela of facial paralysis. However, strategies to address the psychologic and coping ability for patients have not been investigated. The goal is to investigate the effect of mindfulness meditation on social functioning in patients with facial paralysis. This study will also explore whether increasing social functioning in patients with facial paralysis will improve overall quality of life. These questions will be answered using a randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of ATNC05 in the treatment of Atypical Facial Pain (AFP), also known as Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain (PIFP). This research project targets patients with chronic constant facial pain and excludes patients with primarily paroxysmal pain.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a facial yoga exercise program on appearance and to measure patient satisfaction with facial yoga practice.
Most pediatric lacerations occur indoors and are considerably noncontaminated. Wounds that occur outside of the house where dirt often enters the laceration, irrigation and scrubbing with soap has been proven effective at decreasing post-laceration infections. To date there are no pediatric prospective studies addressing a less aggressive approach to face and scalp wound preparation in pediatrics. We argue that wiping wounds with sterile gauze soaked in sterile saline will not increase infection rates as compared to our current practice. In our emergency departments, the current standard of care for all lacerations is aggressive wound preparation: irrigation and scrubbing. This occurs regardless if the wound is contaminated or not. Research has proven that irrigation and scrubbing is unwarranted in adults with face and scalp lacerations. We want to perform a pilot/feasibility study comparing our two emergency campuses. One campus will serve as the control site, while the other will be the intervention site. In this pilot study, our goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of the intervention and provide data that a less aggressive approach to wound preparation is just as effective as our standard of care. We hope this project leads to further discussion about how we manage noncontaminated lacerations and provides a stepping-stone to a larger, appropriated powered study.
The main objective of the trial is to determine whether the current topical formulation of GTX 2/3 reduces the wrinkling of the skin (crow's feet) after a single application Other evaluation criteria include: safety assessment and local tolerance, depth of facial wrinkles (video microscopy imaging).
