Active clinical trials for "Port-Wine Stain"

Port wine stain are a congenital, progressive vascular malformation of human skin. The pulsed dye laser is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of choice. However, the degree of port wine stain blanching seen following pulsed dye laser treatment remains variable and unpredictable. If the ultimate standard required is complete lesion blanching, the average success rate is below 10%, even after undergoing numerous pulsed dye laser treatments. Moreover, less than 50% of patients achieve 50% fading of their Port wine stain in response to pulsed dye laser therapy.

The purpose of this study is to improve port wine stain therapeutic outcome in response to laser therapy. The researchers want to determine whether the combined use of pulsed dye laser therapy and rapamycin will improve PWS therapeutic outcome.

Port wine stains are red birthmarks that without treatment persist for a lifetime. They are frequently found on the face and can be conspicuous and disfiguring, negatively impacting social interactions for these patients. Treating Port wine stains is difficult. The standard of care is to use laser treatment, but over 80% of patients fail to completely clear despite multiple treatments. The growth of additional blood vessels (angiogenesis) following the Laser treatment is likely an important factor in why these lesions persist despite therapy.

Port wine stain Birthmark is a congenital, progressive vascular malformation of human skin. However, even though the pulsed dye laser is considered as the treatment of choice for Port wine stain Birthmark the degree of fading can remain variable and unpredictable after laser treatment.

Port wine stain, also called nevus flammeus, is a congenital, cutaneous vascular malformation involving post-capillary venules which produces a light pink to red to dark-red-violet discoloration of the skin. It is estimated that Port wine stain occurs in 3 children per 1,000 live births. Approximately 900,000 individuals in the United States and twenty million people worldwide have Port wine stain birthmarks .

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Timolol 0.5% Gel Forming Solution is safe and effective in promoting wound healing of infantile ulcerated hemangiomas compared with standard conservative management with topical antibiotic.

Laser treatment (LT) is the first-line treatment for Vascular Pathology. However even when LT is based on the selective photothermolysis it causes the first-degree burns. While being typically benign by affecting only the epidermis, or outer layer of skin, the burn site is remaining red, dry, and very painful. As Haemoblock contains nanoparticles of silver and is known for both bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects, it likely decreases the potential for infection postoperatively. Furthermore, after fibrin replaces the superficial structure "Hemoblock-albumin", the polyacrylate matrix is plasmolyzed which initiates the cascade of signals required for the tissue regeneration processes. Objective of the study was to examine the effect of the Regenerative Solution "Hemoblock" in lowering postoperative complications in children diagnosed with Vascular Pathology undergoing a laser surgery if delivered with transdermal patches.

The purpose of this study is to improve port wine stain therapeutic outcome in response to laser therapy. The researcher want to determine whether the combined use of pulsed dye laser therapy and topical ranibizumab will improve port wine stain therapeutic outcome.

The researcher want to improve port wine stain (PWS) therapeutic outcome in response to laser therapy. The researcher want to determine whether the combined use of pulsed dye laser (PDL) therapy and topical tacrolimus or pimecrolimus will improve PWS therapeutic outcome.

Port wine stain is a congenital, progressive vascular malformation of skin involving post-capillary venules that occurs in an estimated 4 children per 1,000 live births. Approximately 1,200,000 individuals in the United States and twenty-six million people worldwide have Port wine stain birthmarks. Since most of the malformations occur on the face, Port wine stain is a clinically significant problem in the majority of patients. Port wine stain should not be considered a cosmetic problem but a disease with potentially devastating psychological and physical complications. Personality development is adversely influenced in virtually all patients by the negative reaction of others to a "marked" person. Port wine stain are initially flat red macules, but lesions tend to darken progressively to purple, and by middle age, often become raised as a result of the development of vascular nodules. Hypertrophy of underlying soft tissue further disfigures the facial features of many patients.
