Filter by:Two groups of patients (73 patients each) undergoing routine caesarean section has recurrent keloid at site of surgical scar. One group will undergo surgical excision of keloid. The other group will have combined surgical excision of keloid and single intralesional dexamethasone injection at edges of wound.All patients were reviewed once per month for 6 months for evidence of recurrence
This study aims to examine both the genetic profile and the biomarkers implicated in keloid scar formation. Hypothesis: 1. Differences in the genetic profiles of lesional and non-lesional skin contribute a given population's propensity to develop keloids 2. Differences in biomolecules expressed in subjects with and without keloids can help predict keloid occurrence and severity 3. Biomarker analysis will provide useful insights for future targeted therapies for keloid scars
Treatment of keloids with targeted Ultraviolet-Beta (UVB) radiation will improve the clinical appearance and induration of lesions.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser therapy immediately followed by intralesional steroid therapy against intralesional steroid therapy alone for the treatment of keloids.
Keloids are benign cutaneous lesions, arising from proliferating fibroblasts. Keloids of the ear may occur after helix piercings and are difficult to treat, since they tend to form recurrences. Guidelines suggest multimodal therapy, however, recurrence rates remain high and prospective randomized trials are still missing. To unravel the most effective combination of therapeutic options for keloids of the ear, 20 patients will be enrolled in a prospective, randomized trial. Patients either undergo surgery using the "fillet technique" and intra-lesional injections of triamcinolone 10mg /ml every 4 to 6 weeks for 6 months, or they are additionally treated with a non-customized pressure device.
Purpose of this retrospective study is to review and analyze the information and data that has been already been generated during the course of routine practice of medicine by the investigators from 2007 up until Sept 1, 2016 from keloid patients who have sought medical care or medical advice for their keloid disorder.
The aim of this prospective study is to assess the efficacy of autologous Platelet Rich Plasma prepared with RegenKit-BCT in the prevention and the treatment of keloid scars refractory to conventional treatments. Fifteen patients were included and received three PRP injection sessions with a one-month interval. The outcomes were assessed at baseline (before treatment), 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after the last injection session. Safety was assessed by reported adverse event analysis.
Treatment of keloids scars is difficult and controversial. These keloids have a functional and aesthetic impact. A lot of treatment are described with a lot of relapses and aggravation. Authors report outcomes of the treatment with shaving and cryosurgery
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of intralesional triamcinolone (at doses of 4mg / cm2 at intervals of 4 weeks) and topical pirfenidone 8% (every 8 hours continuously) compared with their isolated application, in the treatment of keloid scars in adults. The duration of this three-arm clinical trial will be 12 months, a 6-month period for treatment and a follow-up of 6 months to assess recurrences. The estimated number of persons to be recruited and randomized for the study is 102.
The goal of this study is to establish the safety of high fluence LED-RL from 160 J/cm2 up to 640 J/cm2 in healthy subjects. The hypothesis is that high fluence LED-RL phototherapy is safe in human skin.
