Pilot randomized trial assessing the effectiveness of laser hair depilation on pilonidal disease recurrence in patients with darker skin color
Chronic wounds that fail to heal over extended periods pose a significant financial burden on the healthcare system, underscoring the urgent need to enhance clinical treatments. Among the most promising approaches are stem cell-based therapies. Substantial evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can facilitate the healing of chronic wounds in both animal models and preclinical studies, primarily through their paracrine actions. The bioactive factors and cytokines secreted by MSCs can be harvested in the form of conditioned medium. This medium has been processed into a lyophilized powder for clinical use. Patients with chronic wounds will recruited and divided into two groups: the control group will receive the commonly used fibroblast growth factor, while the experimental group was treated with the lyophilized powder. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of this Stem cell and exosome in treating chronic wounds (especially pilonidal sinus).
Pilonidal disease is a common disease characterized by the presence of abscess in the intergluteal groove. During periods of abscess, current recommendations are to make a simple incision with daily wicking of the abscess. Direct excision at this time is not recommended because there is a risk of incomplete excision. The principle of directed healing after incision of the abscess results in an average dressing period of 21 days. A definitive resection is recommended after 4 to 6 weeks, when healing has been achieved, in order to limit the risk of infectious recurrence. An alternative has recently been proposed, consisting of a puncture of the abscess, aimed at emptying it under antibiotic coverage. The major advantage of this treatment is that patients no longer need general anesthesia to flatten the abscess. Although this technique is promising, it is currently not the subject of any published or ongoing randomized controlled study registered on Clinicaltrials.gov. The research hypothesis is that the two techniques have the same results in terms of recurrence before definitive surgical treatment but that drainage puncture would imply a faster healing time, a lower cost of treatment, a quality of superior support, reduced support time and reduced work stoppage.
The use of local liquid phenol for pilonidal sinus disease was first introduced by Maurica and Greenwood in 1964. Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, has been proven to be an effective sclerosing agent for treating pilonidal sinus diseas. Its antiseptic and anesthetic qualities make it suitable for application in awake patients under local anesthesia. The treatment of pilonidal sinus diseas in children with crystallized phenol was first published by Ateş et al in 2018. However, the treatment involving only crystallized phenol can require numerous sessions, potentially extending the duration of the treatment. IIn this study, the investigators, investigated whether the application of platelet-rich plasma following crystallized phenol treatment could accelerate the healing process and reach better outcomes. This study evaluates the efficacy of PRP as a treatment modality for pilonidal sinus disease in pediatric patients.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the topical drug clascoterone in patients with pilonidal disease, which is a common, benign skin condition of the gluteal cleft. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does clascoterone improve the severity of pilonidal disease as scored by a physician? - Does clascoterone improve patient symptoms due to pilonidal disease? - Does clascoterone improve the inflammation seen under the microscope in pilonidal disease removed at surgery Participants will apply clascoterone or a placebo cream to the diseased area for 3 months. They will be assessed every 4 weeks for disease severity assessed by a physician viewing patient photos and a symptom-based survey. Researchers will compare participants who received clascoterone treatment to those who received placebo.
Our study was planned as a prospective controlled randomized study. The study was started after the ethics committee approval received from Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital. (23.08.2021 118/01). Two groups of patients were planned in parallel. In the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease, in patients operated on with the fistulotomy and curettage technique, one group was followed up with classical dressing, while the other group was followed up with PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) and classical dressing. Wound infection, hematoma, length of hospital stay, recurrence, pain in the first postoperative week, and time to complete epithelialization of the wound (in days) were evaluated between the two groups.
This prospective clinical trial aims to compare the perioperative outcomes of rhomboid flap versus deep suturing in the management of recurrent sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to establish the efficacy of 'pit picking with laser therapy' versus 'pit picking alone' on both short and long-term outcomes in patients of 12 years and older with primary pilonidal sinus disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The overall success rate of treatment which is defined as: closure of all pits at 12 months of follow-up. - Secondary endpoints: succes rat eof treatment during long-term follow-up, wound closure time, pain scores, complication rate, work rehabilitation, time to return to daily activities, quality of life, persisting complaints, patient satisfaction, costs and the need for secondary or revision surgery. Participants will allocated to pit picking alone or combined with lasertherapy. The extra burden for participating patients is expected to be minimal to moderate. Participants will have two extra hospital visits in casethey are enrolled in our study: 6 and 12 months after enrolment. Postoperatively the normal scheme of follow up appointments wil be used: 2 and 6 weeks after treatment at the outpatient clinic of the treating surgeon. A telephone appointment with the researcher will be scheduled 4 weeks after treatment. Patients are asked to complete questionnaires at various time points, which will be sentto them by email and will take approximately 5-10 minutes each time. The content includes general and disease specific Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires. The investigators do not expect any extra adverse reactions or events in respect to participation in the study because both procedures are considered standard of care in the participating clinics. However, because both interventions are surgical procedures a small percentage of adverse events or postoperative complications can be expected.
