Active clinical trials for "Edema"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of up to 3 dose levels of EBI-031 given as an intravitreal injection in subjects with diabetic macular edema. There are two arms to the study, a single dose arm (1 dose) and a repeat dose arm (1 dose each month for 3 months). Eligible subjects will initially enroll in the single dose arm and 3 to 6 subjects will be dosed at each of the 3 dose levels. Safety will be assessed over the 28 days after the single dose prior to moving to the next higher dose level. Once all subjects in the single dose arm have been dosed with EBI-031 and the safety has been assessed eligible subjects will begin enrolling in the repeat dose arm. Subjects in the repeat dose arm will receive one dose each month for 3 months and will be assessed for safety. Escalation to the next higher dose will occur once it is determined safe to proceed to the next dose level. Six subjects will be dosed at each of the 3 dose levels.

To evaluate the effect of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) on the occurrence of diabetic macular edema.

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of XERECEPT (human Corticotropin-Releasing Factor, or hCRF) compared to dexamethasone in patients with primary malignant glioma who require increased dexamethasone doses to control symptom of peritumoral brain edema.

The present study is designed to reveal effectiveness of hyaluronidase and dexamethasone on reduction of postoperative edema, pain, trismus, and infection. For this purpose, 60 participants with symmetrical mandibular wisdom teeth enrolled the present study. All measurements and evaluations were performed before and 1, 2, 3, and 7 days later the operation.

The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of topical Tranexamic acid application in overcoming periorbital ecchymosis and edema after rhinoplasty, which are common and do not have a standard treatment.

Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a common cause of vision loss after cataract surgery. In the last few years, several new treatments have been tried to address the problem of CME after cataract surgery in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The investigators will perform a large RCT with the aim to provide more definite evidence-based recommendations for clinical guidelines to prevent the occurrence of CME after cataract surgery in patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).

Cerebral edema is seen heterogenous group of neurological disease states that mainly fall under the categories of metabolic, infectious, neoplasia, cerebrovascular, and traumatic brain injury disease states. Regardless of the driving force, cerebral edema is defined as the accumulation of fluid in the brain's intracellular and extracellular spaces. This occurs secondary to alterations in the complex interplay between four distinct fluid compartments within the cranium. In any human cranium; fluid is contained in the blood, the cerebrospinal fluid, interstitial fluid of the brain parenchyma, and the intracellular fluid of the neurons and glia. Fluid movement occurs normally between these compartments and depends on specific concentrations of solutes (such as sodium) and water. In brain-injured states, the normal regulation of this process is disturbed and cerebral edema can develop. Cerebral edema leads to increased intracranial pressure and mortality secondary to brain tissue compression, given the confines of the fixed-volume cranium. Additionally, secondary neuronal dysfunction or death can occur at the cellular level secondary to the disruption of ion gradients that control metabolism and function. While studies utilizing bolus dosing of hyperosmolar therapy to target signs or symptoms of increased intracranial pressure secondary to cerebral edema are numerous, there is a paucity of studies relating to continuous infusion of hyperosmolar therapy for targeted sustained hypernatremia for the prevention and treatment of cerebral edema. The investigators hypothesize that induced, sustained hypernatremia following traumatic brain injury will decrease the rate of cerebral edema formation and improve patient outcomes.

The number of severely obese patients who has knee replacement surgery is rising. Obesity increases the risk of the postoperative swelling. A complication which can cause pain and discomfort as well as complicate and prolong rehabilitation. The aim of the present pilot study is to examine the effect of a compression stocking on postoperative swelling and pain among patients with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2, after total knee arthroplasty. The hypothesis is that the use of a medical elastic compression stocking for 14 days postoperatively may reduce postoperative swelling by two cm. The pilot study will furthermore provide useful information for feasibility which will be used to decide whether or not a larger study should be initiated.

Compression stockings have beneficial effects on the development of venous thromboembolic complications and oedema during long- haul flights. A randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of compression stockings during short-haul flights with a duration less than fur ours is lacking. Deep vein thrombosis is very rare on flights shorter than four hours, but compression stocking could have beneficial effects on other outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess if compression stockings used during a 3-3.5-hour flight will decrease leg edema and discomfort.

The geko™ Cross Therapy Registry - Oedema - EU (gekoTM CTR - Oedema- EU) study will prospectively and systematically collect clinical data on all device variants used in standard care pathways for edema management allowing for the monitoring of patient outcomes during a follow-up period of up to twelve months.
