Filter by:The study will evaluate the effect of intradermal injection of stromal vascular fraction into suture line on wound healing and scarring.
The primary purpose of this project is to compare the accuracy of transcutaneous oxygen monitoring and near infrared spectroscopy in assessing cutaneous oxygen levels in chronic wounds of patients following revascularization procedures as well as those with conservatively managed chronic wounds. This study will also compare the efficiency and practicality of both methods in guiding treatment decisions and management of these wounds.
The overarching goal of this research is to assess whether the post-operative use of closed-incision Negative Pressure Therapy (ciNPT) accelerates healing of surgical wounds, improves surgical outcomes, and reduces the rate of local complications in high-risk, obese, post-bariatric patients undergoing abdominal body-contouring procedures (abdominal panniculectomy or "abdominoplasty") compared to standard wound care. The investigators postulate that ciNPT can cost-effectively improve outcomes and standard of post-surgical care in this specific category of patients. This hypothesis will be tested through a prospective, interventional, case-control, randomized clinical trial.
Patients who underwent surgery for diabetic foot were divided into three groups: sciatic nerve block (Group B), continuous nerve catheter (Group C) . Group B patients underwent preoperative popliteal ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockage. 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered. In Group C patients, 20% bupivacaine 20 ml was applied to the sciatic nerve with a peripheral nerve catheter and continuous infusion was started with patient controlled analgesia device.
The purpose of the present study is to observe and compare -through a biomolecular analysis- the differences in the gene expression and cellular behavior in the early wound healing process -24 hours after injury- between the following three oral tissues: alveolar mucosa, buccal gingiva and palatal tissue. The main hypothesis is that there is a difference in the gene expression and in the cellular behaviour between the three oral tissues studied and this difference can be observed at 24 hours post-injury.
Background: Wound dressing changes can be painful and distressing for children and the consequences of poorly managed pain and anxiety can be lifelong. Multiple sessions are usually required, and recurrent painful episodes can trigger significant anxiety and behavioural changes with subsequent escalation on re-exposure. Music has been shown to improve relaxation and reduce autonomic activity in paediatric oncology outpatients and have significant positive effect on postoperative pain, anxiety and distress. Aims: The investigators propose using music listening as a complement to alleviate anxiety, reduce pain and improve the experience of surgical outpatients undergoing wound dressing changes. Investigators will also evaluate the impact on physiological parameters, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Hypothesis: That pain and anxiety are significantly reduced and patient satisfaction is significantly improved when wound dressings are accompanied by music intervention. Methodology: A prospective crossover randomised controlled trial recruiting 88 surgical outpatients aged 9 years and above undergoing multiple wound dressing changes. Patients will be randomised to receive music intervention either during the first or subsequent dressing change, with the alternate dressing change not accompanied by music. Patient selected music will be chosen with the input of a trained music therapist. Participants will complete post session self-assessment questionnaires on pain, anxiety and satisfaction. Physiological parameters will be measured pre and post session. Importance: If proven feasible and effective, this intervention may improve patient experience by reducing pain and anxiety associated with outpatient wound dressing changes, improve patient satisfaction by taking advantage of the relaxing and calming effects of music listening, and improve clinical efficiency by using a cost-effective method for alleviating pain and anxiety Risks/benefits: There is minimal risk as usual standard treatment protocols for wound management continues. Patients may benefit from the soothing effects of music.
The pilot study is prospective, randomized, double-blinded, with intra-subject comparisons against a vehicle control. The primary objective of this pilot study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new wound care product formulated to improve healing outcome, minimize complications of impaired healing and minimize the appearance of scars. This pilot study is double-blinded, which means that neither the evaluating physician nor the subject will know which treatment is administered. Subjects' with 2 comparable excision sites will be randomly assigned to use the FS2 restorative wound care product on one excision site and a vehicle formulation of the product on the other. At the discretion of the Principal Investigator, a sutured wound may be bisected for intra-wound comparison of treatments. In all cases, after application of either vehicle or FS2, a layer of petrolatum will be applied to cover the wound site as a standard of care.
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.
Platelet concentrates used in palatal wound healing have been reported to accelerate wound healing and reduce postoperative patient discomfort. The use of elet platelet rich fibrin '(PRF) in the palatal donor site after FGG surgery has been shown to provide significant benefits in terms of wound healing parameters and postoperative comfort. In a study using a platelet rich plasma (PRP) with a different platelet concentration, PRP was found to accelerate wound healing and shorten the healing time. In another study using titanium-prepared platelet rich fibrin (T-PRF) for palatal wound healing, it accelerated the wound healing process and reached the initial level of soft tissue thickness in the donor region at the end of 6 months. In the literature, there are few studies using platelet concentrates in palatal wound healing and only some concentrates (PRP, PRF, T-PRF) are used. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-PRF), which are autologous fibrin glue (AFG) and injectable platelet concentrates, on palatal wound healing. The findings obtained from this study will contribute to the literature in determining the product and method that will provide optimal postoperative patient comfort and wound healing.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of Oasis extracellular matrix (ECM) when used as a treatment for donor site wounds in the United Kingdom. Oasis ECM is commercially available for the treatment of partial and full-thickness skin wounds, including chronic wounds, wounds from trauma, and wounds that occur during surgery, such as donor site wounds. The ability of the Oasis ECM to promote the healing of donor site wounds will be evaluated in this study. About 40 patients (20 in each arm) over 16 years old will be involved in this study at one center in the United Kingdom.
