Filter by:In a single-blind, crossover, randomized, controlled trial with 40 participants we aim to demonstrate superior anaesthetic efficacy of lidocaine-23%-tetracaine-7% (IMP2) gel over EMLA 5% cream (IMP1) at comparable safety in sharp wound debridement of chronic leg ulcers. This is a monocentric investigator initiated trial conducted in the University Hospital Zurich. In this longitudinal trial, participants receive a sequence of different treatments (treatments on different days) and therefore are randomly assigned to one of two treatment sequences. One-half of participants will first receive IMP1 (first treatment visit, randomized) and then IMP2 (second treatment visit, crossover); the other half of participants the reverse sequence (first treatment visit: IMP2, second treatment visit: IMP1). Primary Objective: We want to show that IMP 2 (lidocaine-23%-tetracaine-7% gel) is more effective in pain reduction than IMP 1 (EMLA® 5% cream) in sharp wound debridement.
Diabetes education and self-management support can be delivered via mobile phones. This protocol aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Well Feet, a conversational agent, as a diabetic foot care companion. By utilizing feedback and responses to evaluative questions posted on the app's interface, the investigators intend to examine the app's technical, functional, and operational feasibility.
PURPOSE: to determine the impact of bee venom phonophoresis in accelerating ulcers healing. BACKGROUND: Bee venom (BV) phonophoresis has been suggested as a noninvasive treatment for a number of inflammatory conditions and in healing of ulcers. Ulceration due to vascular causes is often multifactorial and can be caused by both arterial and venous disease. Hypertension and atherosclerosis of the peripheral vessels lead to arterial disease associated with ischemic ulcers. Chronic venous insufficiency and the resulting venous hypertension cause venous ulcers. There are lack in knowledge and information in published studies about the efficacy of bee venom phonophoresis as physical therapy modality in accelerating ulcers healing. So, this study will be designed to provide a guideline about the efficacy of of bee venom phonophoresis in accelerating ulcers healing. HYPOTHESES: It will be hypothesized that: It was hypothesized that Bee venom phonophoresis has no or limited effect in accelerating ulcers healing. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does Bee venom phonophoresis an effect in accelerating ulcers healing?
This is a prospective, multi-center, open label study evaluating the performance of PICO14 NPWT in the management of chronic open wounds (pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetes related foot ulcers), dehisced surgical wounds and closed surgical incisions. The study comprises the Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) for a new variant of an established product. PICO 14 is based on another dressing called PICO. The primary objective is to evaluate functional performance of PICO 14 through verification of delivery of negative pressure and wound exudate management.
Observational prospective study of the clinical use of a wound dressing with a moisture sensor for use on exuding wounds.
To determine the effectiveness, compliance, patient tolerance, ease of use and safety of total contact soft cast in diabetic foot ulcers.
This study is a prospective, interventional, non-randomized study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Noxsano Bandage (study device) in healthy subjects and wound care subjects with a diabetic lower extremity ulceration and/or arterial insufficiency lower extremity ulceration.
Explorative study of function of a moisture sensor on top of a superabsorbent wound dressing on exuding leg ulcers.
Leg ulcers (UDJ) is defined as a chronic skin wound, lasting for more than 4 to 6 weeks, between the knee and foot, and with no tendency to spontaneous healing. In 2002, the prevalence of leg ulcers is estimated between 0.5% and 1% of the general population and 3% in subjects over 65 years. The sex ratio is generally 3 females to 1 male. It is in most cases a complication of vascular disease, usually venous (70 to 90%), then blood (5-15%), mixed (5-10%) and microcirculatory. In three quarter of cases, the UDJ is a chronic painful wound to the social repercussions (sleep disorders, eating, work stoppages) and major economic (individual and collective costs of absorptions). The treatment of a chronic wound uses validated techniques for several years as the skin graft in tablets, associated with the etiological treatment. The latest recommendations HAS implemented to date from 2006 and concerns the management of leg ulcers predominantly venous. Few articles in the literature address the possibility of an analgesic effect of the transplant pellets in the treatment of chronic ulcers algic. In 2008, a Swedish article, evaluated pain before and after skin grafting in carriers of leg ulcer patients and feet and showed that there was a reduction in pain post transplant. We propose to evaluate the analgesic effect of the skin graft in pellet on a patient population having one or more Algic ulcers.
