Filter by:Study Description: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the duration of postoperative pain relief achieved with two different approaches to pudendal nerve block in patients undergoing elective perianal surgery. The main question this study aims to answer is whether adding Methylene Blue to Bupivacaine pudendal nerve block can prolong postoperative analgesia compared to using Bupivacaine alone. Participants in this study will be individuals with ASA I and II physical status undergoing elective perianal surgery under spinal anesthesia. They will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Group A (Case Group): Participants will receive a pudendal nerve block with Bupivacaine combined with Methylene Blue. 2. Group B (Control Group): Participants will receive a pudendal nerve block with Bupivacaine alone. The pudendal nerve block will be performed using ultrasound guidance at the level of the ischial spine. The needle tip will be positioned between the Sacro tuberous and sacrospinous ligaments to inject the local anesthetic or the local anesthetic combined with Methylene Blue. Throughout the study, the researchers will monitor the time to the first rescue analgesic, assess pain levels using the Numeric Rating Scale at various time intervals (2, 6, 24, 48 hours, and 7 days), and observe for any side effects or complications related to the intervention. Participants will be closely observed after surgery to assess their pain levels and analgesic requirements. The researchers will also evaluate patient satisfaction using the Likert scale. By comparing the outcomes between the two groups, the study aims to determine if the addition of Methylene Blue to Bupivacaine pudendal nerve block provides superior postoperative analgesia in perianal surgery patients. This information will contribute to the understanding of effective pain management strategies for individuals undergoing perianal surgical procedures and potentially reduce the need for opioids and improve patient outcomes.
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of ExoFlo as a treatment for Perianal Fistulizing Crohn's Disease.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a life-long chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any site of the gastrointestinal tract, most frequently the ileum and colon. It is characterized by transmural inflammation and it can lead to strictures, due to activation of reparation of inflamed tissues and consequent fibrosis, or penetrating lesions, such as fistulas, between two different intestinal tracts or between intestine and surrounding organs. Fistula occurrence can lead to formation of abdominal or pelvic abscesses. Such complications cause intestinal damage and usually require surgery, leading to disability, impairment of patients' quality of life, with significant impact on direct and indirect health-care costs
Rationale: Perianal fistula is a burdening disease with an annual prevalence of 2/100.000 in the Dutch population. More than 90% of crypto-glandular fistulas originate from anorectal abscess. Despite adequate drainage of anorectal abscess up to 83% recurs or results in an anal fistula, the majority developing within 12 months. Up till now it is not common practice to routinely administer prophylactic antibiotics to prevent anal fistula development.\ Objective: The objective of this trial is to establish if adding antibiotic treatment to surgical drainage of perianal abscess results in less perianal fistulas. Study design: The study concerns a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter trial with treatment of perianal abscess by surgical drainage alone or combined with antibiotic treatment. Patients will be accrued by all participating clinics. The design involves allocation of all appropriate consecutive patients with a primary occurrence of perianal abscess to surgical drainage followed by either antibiotics or placebo. Data will be analyzed on 'intention to treat' basis in case patients are not subjected to the randomized treatment modality. Study population: Men and women of 18 years and older who present for the first time with a perianal abscess. Intervention (if applicable): The antibiotic group receives 7 days of oral metronidazole (500 mg every eight hours) and ciprofloxacin (500 mg every twelve hours) in addition to surgical drainage. The other group receives surgical drainage and postoperatively identical placebo tablets. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcome measure is development of a perianal fistula. Secondary outcome measures are quality of life at 12 months measured with the EQ-5D-5L with Dutch rating. Further: in-hospital direct and indirect costs and out-of hospital postoperative costs, need of repeated drainage, patient related outcome (PRO) and clinical outcome measures. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: For this study, patients are asked to take part in a study comparing the addition of antibiotic treatment to surgical drainage of perianal abscess. Patients will not be burdened by extra hospital visits. At baseline participants will complete PRO questionnaires. Also at 1 week and 3, 6 and 12 months participants will fulfill the PRO questionnaires. These will be send to them by email and will take approximately 10 minutes each time.
A Phase II study to assess the safety and efficacy of AVB-114 in treatment of complex Crohn's perianal fistulas in subjects with quiescent rectal disease and whose fistula has failed to respond to biologic or conventional therapy. Combined remission of treated perianal fistula in the investigational treatment arm will be compared to a standard of care control arm. The study has 2 parts: Part 1: All required study visits for subjects who initially receive study treatment and those who receive standard of care therapy (control arm). Part 2: Subjects who are enrolled in the control arm may receive treatment with AVB-114 following week 36. Those subjects then will be followed as specified in the clinical protocol.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of using adult allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), to treat people for medically refractory perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the local injection of autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue obtained with the Lipogems®system in patients with trans-sphincteric fistulas untreatable with fistulotomy.
This study will compare healing and surgical outcomes in patients with chronic perianal disease treated with Adipose-derived Stem Cells (ASCs) to outcomes in patients treated in traditional surgical techniques without ASCs. The study will perform retrospective medical record analysis to clinically characterize patients that have undergone these surgical procedures and compare follow-up data and disease status to determine efficacy of treatment with ASCs compared to similar treatments without the use of ASCs. This will help determine overall efficacy of the treatment as well as determine patient characteristics that may predict treatment success. The study will also prospectively recruit patients with perianal disease that are planning to receive treatment with ASCs, and analyze their outcomes in the same way. Medical record review of outcomes in patients with perianal disease that received treatment with ASCs compared to those that did not will determine efficacy of this procedure.
The purpose of this study is to collect data about the efficacy of Permacol Paste treatment in perianal Crohn's Disease.
Phase of Investigation: First-in-human feasibility study Objectives: Primary objective: Demonstration that TIPS microspheres do not compromise the clinical condition or safety of the patient. Secondary objective: To demonstrate that TIPS microspheres facilitate natural healing in the context of perianal fistula. Type of Investigation: First-in-human single site, open label, feasibility study to assess the safety of TIPS microspheres in perianal fistulas and indicative functionality. Investigation design and methods: First-in-human single delivery of a bioabsorbable device to treat perianal fistula. A standard of care internal flap procedure performed to close the internal fistula opening and up to 300 mg of TIPS microspheres will be inserted into each perianal fistula. Participants will be assessed for healing, inflammation, abscess, sepsis, pain and continence by clinical assessments, blood tests, MRI and questionnaires.
