Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

The goal of this proposal is to investigate the efficacy of a complimentary approach of evoked resistance training and testosterone replacement therapy on the changes in body composition and metabolic profile after SCI. The proposed method could become a recommended and simple intervention especially for individuals with limited access and poor tolerance to exercise. The rationale is based on the evidence that individuals with SCI experience decline in anabolic hormones which may be responsible for the deterioration in body composition and metabolic profiles and leads to increase obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and subsequently cardiovascular disease. The designed study will provide explanation to the adaptations in the energy source of the muscle cells in response to training.

This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of multimedia audiovisual training to hands on "practice till perfect" training for pediatric and emergency medicine residents' procedural skills. This initial study will explore the success rates on infant lumbar puncture and child intravenous access skills in post-graduate year one pediatric residents.

Patients who completed the 12-week double blind protocol may enter this 26-week, open-label extension. This extension will give patients who complete the study an opportunity to receive treatment with open-label rivastigmine 3-12 mg/day and further evaluation for the cognitive deficits related to traumatic brain injury. This extension will enable further evaluation of patients, as well as analyses to be conducted examining response to treatments in the original drug and placebo groups.

This study is a prospective single-centre randomized trial to compare the effect of tranexamic acid versus placebo in the pre-hospital management of patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury.

We have designed this study to determine whether performing two, compared with ≥3 operations has an effect on key clinical outcomes after discharge from the hospital of an infected wound that requires admission. Each arm of this study represents the two commonly practiced standard of care treatment plans for patients presenting with infected wounds. It is currently unknown which SoC option provides the best patient outcome.

This study aims to assess the feasibility of Intendu Cognitive Motion-Based Videogames in Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) patients in inpatient treatment and in the community and to evaluate the effects of training on patients' cognitive performance

The purpose of this study is to collect physiologic data from patients with severe brain injury who require mechanical ventilation in order to describe the impact of ventilation, specifically positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), on intracranial pressure (ICP).

The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of an AKI Follow-up Clinic on major adverse kidney events (MAKE) in comparison to hospitalized patients surviving an episode of AKI who are not exposed to the AKI Follow-up Clinic intervention.

The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of functional neural regeneration collagen scaffold transplanted into acute spinal cord injury patients.

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.
