Filter by:Adequate analgesia in serial chronic leg ulcer debridement can be difficult to achieve. A common analgesia method is the topical administration of local anesthetics directly onto the wound. However, complete wound debridement is often hampered by insufficient analgesia leading to interruption of the actual debridement and fragmentation of treatment into more frequent serial debridement sessions. Alternatively, the inhalation of an nitrous oxide/oxygen (N2O/O2) gas premix could be used for analgesia. In this study, the investigators have compared the analgesic method of an eutectic mixture of topically administered lidocaine/prilocaine cream (EMLA®) with the inhalation of an equimolar 50% N2O/50% O2 gas premix (Kalinox®) in serial leg ulcer debridement.
The purpose of this study is to determine the systemic exposure of Granexin® gel after topical application to human subjects' venous leg ulcers.
The goal of this study is to test FOOTFIT and enhanced FOOTFIT+, home-based mobile health (mHealth) physical activity (PA) interventions for a minimally ambulatory, chronically-ill, population with leg ulcers. A highly sensitive clinically designed Bluetooth® enabled accelerometer and tracking device (BEAT) worn on the foot during a progressive and evidence-based non-exertive leg conditioning activities for lower leg function (CALF) captures minute foot movements and sends the data to a Smartphone. This six-week feasibility study will compare FOOTFIT to FOOTFIT+, with the added connectivity feature, to promote patient-provider communication, evaluate adherence to PA, and assess signals of efficacy on functional outcomes in a very low fitness population.
The goal of this study is to test MUSTCOOL, a home-based self-monitoring and self-management ulcer prevention intervention for patients with newly healed chronic venous leg and diabetic foot ulcers. Almost 90% of ulcers recur within 3 months of healing. During the six-month randomized clinic trial, skin temperature will be monitored daily, a maintenance dose of cooling gel pack or placebo will be applied three times weekly to the affected skin, and a bolus dose of cooling will be applied for 5 consecutive days if skin temperature becomes elevated. Outcomes on the incidence of leg ulcer recurrence, pain, physical activity and quality of life will be measured.
SANGUINATE™ Sickle Cell Disease associated Leg Ulcers.
This study is designed to look at the effect of the geko device on the circulation in lower limbs of participants with venous leg ulcers.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of two types of NPWT systems; the traditional negative pressure wound therapy (tNPWT) system and the single-use negative pressure wound therapy (PICO) system.
Background: Venous Leg ulcers are a frequent pathology in dermatology and complex in their management. At the origin of high health costs and strong repercussions on quality of life for patients, they require long management and may be subject to possible complications. In spite of appropriate treatment, 50-60% of these ulcers are not healed at 24 weeks. Purpose: Topical beta adrenergic antagonists have shown efficacy in wound healing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment of chronic venous ulcers with topical timolol.
The purpose of the study is to assess treatment tolerance and comfort in chronic VLUs after 4 weeks of treatment using a dual action pneumatic compression device.
The main objective of this study is to estimate the change in the relative numbers of commensal or low virulence potential bacteria before and after one session TDP.
