Active clinical trials for "Burns"

The aim of the study is to compare results obtained with epidermal cell spray and classic skin grafting for epidermal replacement in acute burns

The purpose of this study is to examine AWBAT™-D compared to Mepilex® Ag for the treatment of donor sites in burn surgery.

The purpose of this study is to compare High Frequency Pressure Ventilation (HFPV) to conventional mechanical ventilation. Hypothesis: Patients placed on HFPV will have significantly higher number of ventilator-free days compared to patients placed on a conventional volume mode.

In plastic and reconstructive surgery, treatment strategies of second-degree burns, superficial wounds, burn scars, flaps and chronic wounds aim at reducing infection and improving microcirculation. Although previous studies indicate that Plasma Therapy can accelerate wound healing, only a few studies focused on the elucidation of its mechanisms of action. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the microcirculatory effects of Plasma Therapy on second-degree burns, superficial wounds, burn scars, flaps and chronic wounds in a human in-vivo setting for the first time.

Procedural pain is the most intense and often undertreated pain associated with burn injuries. The use of analgesics does not always provide optimal relief and is accompanied by several side effects. Indeed, children with burn injuries still experience severe pain intensity during procedures despite the fact that doses of analgesics used with this population has almost doubled in the last twenty years. Current guidelines on pediatric procedural pain management recommend the combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions to enhance pain management and decrease the numerous side effects of analgesics. Distraction has been identified among the most effective non-pharmacological interventions for pain as it diverts the child's attention to an attractive element, hindering the perception of the painful stimuli. Virtual reality (VR) is a method of active distraction that offers the child a multi-sensory immersive interaction that found many applications for pain management in adult patients. However, very few studies have tested the efficacy of distraction by virtual reality on procedural pain and anxiety in children with burn injuries. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a virtual reality prototype developed specifically for the hydrotherapy room of children under seven years old for the relief of procedural pain and anxiety in children with burn injuries. HYPOTHESES: a) VR distraction is a feasible non-pharmacological intervention for pain management during hydrotherapy, b) VR distraction combined with analgesics is more efficacious than standard treatment (analgesics alone) on procedural pain and anxiety (hydrotherapy) of young children with burn injuries.

About 70 participants will be enrolled. They will have complex skin defects because of burns caused by heat. The burns will: be on 3-49% of the participant's total body surface area (TBSA) require surgery for skin replacement include intact dermal elements The burns are called deep, partial-thickness thermal burns because the skin was damaged by heat but still has some dermis that was not damaged. The dermis is the layer of skin under the outer layer (epidermis). It is the thickest layer of the skin that provides strength and flexibility to the skin. All patients will receive both treatments, but on different areas of their burns. Their wounds will not be compared to other patients. One treatment area on their own body will be compared to the other one. This will help to find out if StrataGraft is safe and effective for deep partial thickness burns. It will also see if StrataGraft might help healing enough to use it instead of the patient's own healthy skin to repair the damage.

Ocular chemical burn is one of the cause of vision loss in our country, and there are no satisfactory treatment. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have the biological characteristics of self-renewal, immune regulation, multidirectional differentiation and tissue repair. Our preliminary research showed that in corneal alkali injury rats, the MSC can accelerated the cornea repair, inhibited angiogenesis. The aim of this study is to access the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cell in the treatment of corneal burn in human.

This is a randomized, within-subject controlled study to compare the clinical performance of the ReCell device when used as an adjunct to meshed skin graft in subjects requiring skin grafts for closure of burn injuries. Co-primary effectiveness endpoints include: (1) confirmed treatment area closure (i.e., healing) prior to or at 8 weeks as assessed by a blinded evaluator, and (2) a comparison of the actual expansion ratio, computed as the ratio of measured treated area to the measured donor site area, achieved for the ReCell-treated and control treatment areas. Safety will be evaluated in terms of long-term durability, scar outcomes and treatment-related adverse events.

This is a multi-center, single arm, traditional feasibility study to allow a preliminary assessment of the safety and effectiveness of a new method of treating skin burns using Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix (BTM).
