Active clinical trials for "Cicatrix"

Compare the efficacy of frational Er:YAG laser and that of bipolar frequency with diode laser treatment.

BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence appears for non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) to remodel mature burn scars. OBJECTIVES: To investigate long-term clinical and histological appearance of mature burn scars after NAFL-treatment. HYPOTHESIS: That NAFL can modulate mature burn scars with subsequently improved cosmetic and functional appearance. METHODS: Study patients with burn scars at trunk or extremities. Side-by-side test areas are randomized to three monthly 1,540 nm NAFL-treatments or control, followed by blinded evaluations at 1, 3, and 6 months using mPOSAS (modified Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale; 1 = normal skin, 10 = worst imaginable scar).

This is a pilot-study of 16 selected Swedish patients which all have severe hoarseness or aphonia due to vocal fold scarring (from previous surgery, radiation therapy, inflammation or possibly hereditary). The patients are operated with phonomicrosurgical dissection of the scarred vocal folds, removal or scar tissue and injection of autologous mesenchymal stroma cells, aMSC (which were previously harvested from each patients´s bone marrow, purified, expanded and characterized according to standard procedure at the Center of Hematology and Regenerative Medicine Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge). 8 Patients is planned to be treated with a single injection of aMSC and 8 patients with injection of aMSC mixed with a carrier hyaluronan gel developed at Uppsala University Sweden and at the Karolinska Institute. The laryngeal status, vocal fold function, and voice function will be followed individually with an advanced battery of examinations performed before and up to 1 year postoperatively. Side effects and complications are noted and reported during surgery and following surgery at regular intervals during at least 1 year Since spring 2015 no new patients have been recruited and no treatments are given during 2016 or 2017. The monitoring authority was changed from Swedish National Board of Health to Swedish Medical Product Agency (MPA) in March/April 2016. Further inclusions and treatments are postponed until permission is granted from MPA to continue the study.

The investigators are studying the appearance and function of burn scars after treatment with fractionated carbon dioxide laser. The investigators hypothesize that the cosmetic appearance and range of motion will improve with treatment.

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of dHACM in reducing scar tissue formation in total knee replacement patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine if fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment of a burn scar is a more effective method for improving the appearance of scars than the current available treatments.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accelerated-healing potential of injection or injection plus topical application of Juvista to minor split skin grafts (SSG).

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of CICATRIX (Asian Gotu Kola or Pennywort) usage in the treatment of recent post-surgical scars. The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 4 weeks. The estimated number of persons to be recruited and randomized for the study is 90.

The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of CICATRIX (Asian Gotu Kola or Pennywort) usage in the treatment of cutaneous grooves. The duration of this phase 2 clinical trial will be 4 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and the treatment effect of Isolagen TherapyTM and placebo when administered to facial acne scars.
