Filter by:Post market surveillance study to confirm the ongoing safety and performance of Silver I Alginate Non-Woven Dressing (Hydro-Alginate) in chronic and acute wounds.
The purpose of the study is to observe the contribution of the cinnamon dressing to the reduction of the discomfort associated with the odour felt by the patient and carers. This prospective study aims to collect data on patients living with a malodorous fungating wound. Quality of life tools will be used to assess the impact of the cinnamon dressing on managing malodorous fungating wounds.
The main objective of the trial is to confirm safety of a new product - Epipad. The main impact of the device is to provide good environment for the healing of chronic wounds and wounds in the last healing phase (granulation and epithelisation).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of high-voltage pulsed current (HVPC) and microcurrent stimulation therapy (MST) in treating chronic wounds and to compare their effects.
This research is being done because people with diabetes have reduced healing capacity and prone to develop infections of foot wounds. This can be problematic because wounds that become infected may result in amputation and more severe complications. New evidence suggests that a better understanding of the microbiome of wounds (e.g., bacterial presence) may provide information about wound healing and provide an earlier opportunity to identify an individual who may be prone to develop diabetic foot infection in their wound. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of the microbiome of the diabetic foot ulcer in development of infection and wound healing. Once the role of the microbiome is confirmed, progress towards the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and complications may be possible.
Diabetes mellitus consists of a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders that have hyperglycemia in common, resulting from defects in insulin action, insulin secretion, or both. Diabetes mellitus has gained increasing importance and is considered one of the main themes of global health problems due to the damage caused to quality of life, public health and the epidemiological picture presented. Among the complications are diabetic foot ulcers, with higher prevalence in the lower limbs, they are classified as loss of skin continuity, which can reach from the epidermis to deep structures such as muscles, bones and tendons.
Exercise studies with patients with diabetic foot ulcers are very few. In this disease group, since it is considered dangerous to put a load on the foot, a barrier has been placed between the patients and the exercise. With the study investigators plan to do, investigators will try to exercise in these patients in a controlled manner. Among the patients divided into 3 groups, the 1st group will apply the control group, the 2nd group will perform aerobic exercise, and the 3rd group will apply the exercises investigators have determined as the protocol group. 12 weeks, 2 sessions a week will be exercised with the help of a physiotherapist. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, at the end of week 4, at the end of week 8, and at the end.
Pressure injuries are common in the elderly and patients who reduced physical activities. Its complications significantly impact the health care system and social burden, even causing the death rate to be as high as 68%. This study aims to collect medical data regarding pressure injuries during hospitalization for developing the Pressure Injury Prediction and Education Model using a mobile application system. It can offer a prediction on the risk of pressure injury and be used as a teaching aid for pressure injury care, providing a personalized and evidence-based nursing information platform for patients, caregivers, and health professionals.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MaxioCel vs Aquacel Extra in the management of exuding ulcers/wounds over a period of 4 weeks
Skin tears (ST) are one of the skin integrity problems encountered in healthcare settings with rates equal to or greater than pressure injuries. However, the importance of this problem has been emphasized in the literature in recent years. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge level of nurses about ST.
