Active clinical trials for "Lacerations"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, complications and benefits of Hair Apposition Technique(HAT)performed by nurses or doctors.

The purpose of the study is to compare cosmetic outcomes of simple facial lacerations in children repaired with Dermabond (skin glue) compared with Dermabond (skin glue) with underlying steristrips (skin adhesive strips).

A prospective randomized within-subject controlled study to compare the clinical performance of conventional autografting with and without the RECELL system on acute non-burn full-thickness skin defects.

We wish to determine wich of two standardized suturing techniques is the best for perineal repair if a perineal laceration or an episiotomy is present after vaginal birth. The participants are healthy primi para and deliver at term.

The investigators propose a pilot study to examine the feasibility of utilizing immersive virtual reality to reduce procedural anxiety in children undergoing non-facial laceration repair in the Pediatric Emergency Department. The investigators hypothesize that virtual reality will be well-received by patients and their caregivers, and that the anxiety provoked by laceration repair will be mitigated by the immersive virtual reality experience.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether suture using the Device of "Leukosan Skinlink" is more faster and safer than that of "nylon" in the treatment of simple wound for ED patients.

The goal of this research is to investigate three different methods of perineal skin closure during second-degree perineal wound repair and determine which method is associated with the least amount of patient pain. Null hypothesis: There will be no difference in patient pain among the three different methods for second degree perineal wound repair.

The purpose of this study is: To determine whether oral narcotic medication versus placebo improves the pain and anxiety scores for pediatric patients requiring laceration repair in the pediatric emergency department and receiving the standard of care with lidocaine treatment To evaluate for a statistical difference in pain scores in children during laceration repair To evaluate for a statistical difference in State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) scores during laceration repair

Patients seen in the ED with either a laceration, minor head injury, or urinary tract infection will be randomized to one of two groups. Both groups will receive the standard written discharge instructions; in addition, one group will watch video discharge instructions. Each patient will be asked to complete a short survey with questions related to the discharge instructions received in the ED, and will be called 5-7 days after the ED visit to ask questions about discharge instructions and the ED visit.

To compare pain scores during laceration repair with first suture placement using standardized visual analog scale (VAS) between 2 different topical local anesthetic application techniques for using LET gel. Specifically, the investigators are studying if applying LET gel 3 times, spaced 10 minutes apart (triple LET) provides superior anesthesia to one 30 minute application (single LET). Single LET is the current standard method of application.
