Filter by:The primary objective of this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) investigation is to confirm the safety and performance of Avance®Solo and Avance®Solo Adapt NPWT Systems in low to moderate exuding chronic wounds when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use, for up to 28 days.
Ulcers of the lower limbs are a major public health problem whose management needs to be further improved, particularly in terms of healing time, prevalence and recurrence rate. Ulcers of venous origin, or mixed arteriovenous and predominantly venous, represent the majority of leg ulcers with an estimated proportion of 70 to 80% of cases. These are painful, disabling conditions that are difficult to treat in a lasting way. This study focuses on a treatment strategy with endovascular glue. The advantage of treating ulcers with cyanoacrylate glue is the possibility of occluding the great saphenous vein over its entire length, freeing itself from neurological complications secondary to endovenous thermal techniques (laser, radiofrequency), as well as the possibility of treating by direct puncture any perforators or tributaries feeding the ulcer. This treatment strategy would improve the healing process for a lasting resolution of this pathology. This study aims to describe the feasibility and tolerance of this type of treatment in the resolution of varicose ulcers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment in adult Japanese participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). This study is an extension of study APD334-302 (NCT03996369). Participants will continue with the same blinded treatment assigned in Study APD334-302 for a total treatment duration of 52 weeks (12 weeks in Study APD334-302 plus 40 weeks in Study APD334-308).
The objective of the study is to compare the effect of two treatments on the healing of venous ulcers in follow-up people in two Primary Health Services, in a city in southern Brazil. The two treatments that will be tested are: (1) the high compression elastic bandage and (2) Unna boot. The two treatments are indicated for the treatment of people with venous insufficiency and who have an active ulcer. The treatment will last 26 weeks (6 months). Once a week, during 26 weeks, a nurse will perform the dressing and will apply the therapy high compression elastic bandage or Unna boot according to a drawing and in every two weeks an evaluator will assess the characteristics of the ulcers and the size.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of CBP-307 in subjects with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most serious complications of diabetes and can lead to amputations in 85% of cases, resulting in physical, psychological, family, social and economic consequences. Research suggests that psychological factors may play an important role in DFU healing. Relaxation and hypnosis seem to contribute to faster wound healing. More research is needed to assess the effectiveness of different types of intervention on different types of wounds, in particular chronic wounds such as DFU. This study will evaluate the efficacy of relaxation and hypnosis, both with guided imagery, in DFU healing, physiological indicators (inflammatory, metabolic, oxidative stress, angiogenic, and miRNA biomarkers) of wound healing prognosis, and QoL, in patients with diabetic foot and a chronic ulcer. This study is a Randomized Controlled Study of a Psychological Intervention that aims to evaluate the efficiency of a muscle relaxation intervention with guided imagery (experimental group - EG1) compare to a hypnosis intervention with guided imagery (experimental group - EG2) and a neutral guided imagery placebo (active control group - ACG) and a group that does not receive any psychological intervention (passive control group - PCG). This study will also examine, qualitatively, the perspectives of patients with DFU on the relaxation and hypnosis interventions, in order to check its effectiveness; as well as the perspectives of informal caregivers on this adjuvant therapys. Participants must have a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Foot; one or two chronic active ulcers at the time of assessment; and clinical levels of stress or anxiety or depression. Participants will be randomized by the four conditions - EG1, EG2, ACG and PCG - and assessed on the day of the first consultation or nursing treatment for chronic DFU (T0), two months later (T1), and six months later (T2; follow-up). Two weeks after T1, an interview will be conducted independently with patients that completed the relaxation, hypnosis, and placebo sessions, and with the informal caregivers who provided them the DFU care. The results of the present study will contribute for a better understanding of DFU progression, healing, prevention of re-ulceration and future amputations and, consequently, for the improvement of patients' quality of life.
Together with Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the major forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).Currently, no curative therapy is available, since the pathophysiology of this disease is incompletely understood (1-3) and clinical practice demonstrates that current therapies induce remission in subgroups of patients only. Scientific evidence suggests that colitogenic immune responses can be controlled by increasing the number of circulating regulatory T cells (Treg) (4). The production of large numbers of autologous Treg is possible by isolation of CD25+ cells from the whole blood of a patient and subsequent ex vivo expansion in the presence of the immunomodulatory drug rapamycin, Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and CD3/CD28 expander beads (5). ER-TREG 01 is a single-center, open-label, fast-track phase I dose-escalation study designed to assess the safety profile and maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of a single infusion of ex vivo expanded autologous Treg in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most serious complications of diabetes and can lead to amputations in 85% of cases, resulting in physical, psychological, family, social and economic consequences. Psychological interventions can contribute to the improvement of wound healing and, relaxation, in particular, seems to contribute to faster wound healing. More research is needed to assess the effectiveness of different types of intervention on different types of wounds, in particular on chronic wounds such as DFU. This is a Pilot Randomised Controlled Study of a Psychological Intervention that aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a muscle relaxation intervention with guided imagery (experimental group - EG) compared to a neutral guided imagery placebo (active control group - ACG) and a group that does not receive any psychological intervention (passive control group - PCG), to inform a future definitive Randomised Controlled Study (RCT) that tests its effectiveness. This study will also examine, qualitatively, the perspectives of patients with DFU on the relaxation intervention, in order to check its acceptability and applicability; as well as the perspectives of health professionals on this adjuvant therapy, its applicability and integration into the care system of multidisciplinary diabetic foot consultations. Participants have a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Foot; one or two chronic ulcers active at the time of assessment; and clinical levels of stress or anxiety or depression. Participants will be randomized by the three conditions - EG, ACG and PCG - and assessed on the day of the first consultation or nursing treatment for chronic DFU (T0), two months later (T1), and six months later (T2; follow-up). Two weeks after T1, an interview will be conducted with patients with DFU that benefited from the relaxation sessions and to the health professionals who provided them the DFU care. The results of the present study will contribute for a better understanding of DFU progression, healing, prevention of re-ulceration and future amputations and, consequently, for the improvement of patients' quality of life.
The investigators aimed to elucidate the effects of UAW debridement on cellular proliferation and dermal repair in complicated diabetic foot ulcers as compared to diabetic foot ulcers receiving surgical/sharp wound debridement. A randomized controlled trial was performed involving outpatients with complicated diabetic foot ulcers that either received surgical debridement or UAW debridement every week during a six-week treatment period.
