Filter by:Rotator cuff disease (i.e., rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear) is a common cause of shoulder pain in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). It usually resolves with non-operative treatments such as pharmacological agents and physical therapy; however, when this fails, rotator cuff surgery may be the only option. Autologous adipose tissue injection has recently emerged as a promising new treatment for joint pain and soft tissue injury. Adipose can be used to provide cushioning and filling of structural defects and has been shown to have an abundance of bioactive elements and regenerative perivascular cells (pericytes). The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of autologous, micro-fragmented adipose tissue (Lipogems®) injection under ultrasound guidance for chronic shoulder pain in persons with SCI.
To establish the effectiveness of an internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy pain management programme (CBT-PMP) on people with spinal cord injury pain compared with usual care.
The goal of our study is to evaluate the use of a self-management application ("app") that the investigators have developed to help facilitate self-management among individuals with SCI who live in the community. The main purpose is to create and fulfill individual self-management goals. Other purposes include improving self-management and health conditions related to SCI. During the initial phase, participants (SCI clinicians and patients with SCI) reported positive usage of the self-management app and all agreed it would benefit people with SCI. With the widespread use of portable electronic devices, an opportunity exists to help patients and informal caregivers on the journey from rehabilitation to integration back into the community. The investigators will use a randomized controlled trial (randomly putting participants into two groups), including both surveys and interviews. The study will involve the use of the app that focuses on the self-management of SCI, along with five to six in-person or telephone meetings over a three-month period. Our proposal is original in that it will be one of the few randomized control trials for e-health interventions for self-care management for those with SCI. The overall goals of the study is to develop an affordable self-management app that can be used to encourage self-management in people living with SCI. This app would be used along with other health problem specific apps that are more detailed and expensive, while helping participants to manage their long-term health problems related to their SCI in an easily usable and affordable form.
This non-randomized clinical study will compare pressure injuries and the change in pressure injuries for subjects who are placed on the Freedom Bed compared to those placed on a standard Group II Low Air Loss/Alternating Pressure Mattress in the Ventilator Unit at Northeast Center for Rehabilitation and Brain Injury. Additionally, the incidence of pneumonia, urinary tract infections, circulatory performance, sleep deprivation and caregiver self-perception on performance will be monitored and documented.
Cognitive skills are essential to live independently, manage finances, maintain employment, and function in society. Loss of these cognitive skills puts a tremendous burden on society as seen with dementias, Alzheimer's disease, and traumatic brain injury. The INSIGHT-ICU Study (Illuminating Neuropsychological dysfunction and Systemic Inflammatory mechanisms Gleaned after Hospitalization in Trauma-ICU Study) is the first comprehensive and longitudinal long-term cognitive impairment study after traumatic injury. The societal impact of long-term cognitive impairment after trauma is immense given that these patients are young and constitute a large proportion of employable adults.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the RelayPro Thoracic Stent-Grafts in subjects with traumatic injury of the descending thoracic aorta (DTA)
The purpose of this study is to determine if Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) can produce reproducible and accurate images in people with stroke or head injury compared to existing standards such as MRI, CT. Electrical Impedance Tomography is a relatively new medical imaging method, which has the potential to provide novel images of brain function. It is fast, portable, safe and inexpensive, but currently has a relatively poor spatial resolution. It produces images of the internal electrical impedance of a subject with stroke or head injury using rings of ECG like electrodes on the skin. EIT recording will take place as early as possible, usually within 24 hours of admission. Following completion of the recording, the EIT images will subsequently be analysed and compared to other imaging data for accuracy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the investigational product, SBI-101, in subjects with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) who require continuous renal replacement therapy. SBI-101 is a biologic/device combination product designed to regulate inflammation and promote repair of injured tissue using allogeneic human mesenchymal stromal cells. The study will be conducted in two cohorts, with an interim analysis performed in between the cohorts. In the first cohort, subjects will be randomized to receive one of two treatments - low dose SBI-101 or sham control. In the second cohort, subjects will be randomized to receive one of two treatments - high dose SBI-101 or sham control. SBI-101 or sham control will be integrated into the renal replacement circuit and subjects in both cohorts will be treated for up to 24 hours.
This study evaluates the use of the Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) in adults with vascular trauma below the neck who are undergoing vascular reconstructive surgery. There will be a torso cohort and a limb cohort. All subjects will be implanted with a HAV as an interposition vessel or bypass using standard vascular surgical techniques. There is no control arm.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of 5-0 prolene during repair of linear cutaneous surgery wounds improves scar cosmesis compared to wound closure with 5-0 fast absorbing gut (both SOC).
