Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

The STIMO-2 study aims to investigate TESS-supported rehabilitation training in sub-acute spinal cord injury (< 6 months post-injury). The primary endpoint of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of TESS. The preliminary effectiveness of the therapy is the secondary study endpoint. The mobility recovery status of patients, who undergo TESS-supported rehabilitation, will be assessed at 12 months post SCI, compared to their predicted recovery expectations based on standard rehabilitation program

This is a three-armed intervention study that evaluates the injury preventive effects of three different training interventions in youth and adult football players. Two intervention arms are randomized and one arm acts as a non-randomized comparison group. Half of randomized participants will receive a general injury prevention exercise program with emphasis on the lower extremities, and the other half a hip/groin focused injury prevention exercise. A third group of participants who already use an injury prevention exercise program at study inclusion are invited to participate as a non-randomized comparison group and continue their usual training practices.

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) is a respiratory support for neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and represents the gold standard for RDS treatment in many Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). Respiratory supports providing Synchronized Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation may further enhance the success of non-invasive respiratory support. The most significant risk factor associated to NCPAP management is nasal trauma. Nasal injuries represent a source of pain and discomfort for infants. In some cases, they could become a site of infection and cause functional, cosmetic, long term outcomes as erythema or necrosis of the columella nasi. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries during NCPAP support in infants admitted to NICU. It is hypothesized that implementation of some preventive interventions could improve nursing care quality and reduce nasal pressure injuries.

This study was planned as a prospective quasi-experimental study with the control group to determine the effect of structured pressure injury patient education (program on the knowledge, participation, wound healing progress, and quality of life among patients with limited mobility. We hypothesized that there would be a significant effect of structured pressure injury patient education on patient's knowledge, participation, wound healing rate, and quality of life between the control and intervention group over time.

an interventional study to measure the possible effects of spironolactone ( an aldosterone antagonist) on the incidence of acute kidney injury after coronary angiography

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility (fidelity, acceptability, implementation, cost) of the Cellie Coping Kit for Children with Injury as well as to determine the intervention's efficacy (mechanisms of action and health outcomes).

The aim of this trail is to assess the safety and therapeutic effects of single EPO intervention in different times during coronary surgery in changes of inflammatory response.

This study is a controlled pragmatic implementation study in clinical practice, with a primary focus on cardiovascular risk reduction through adherence to behavioral interventions related to physical activity and healthy diet.The intervention is interdisciplinary, multimodal and patient activating and uses the existing setting and work flows at the clinic, ensuring that the patients receive education about cardiovascular risk factors, physical activity and healthy diet through a systematic approach including targeted patient education.

A group of dance educators will attend two dance injury prevention workshops hosted by the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries (HCDI), NYU Langone Medical Center, during which participants will learn strategies to help them train their students in safe ways and impart injury prevention information through their dance classes to their students. The educators will take pre- and post-workshop tests to assess knowledge and perceptions of dance medicine. Several weeks later, participants will take a follow-up survey to assess knowledge implementation and workshop effectiveness.

The objective of this trial is to investigate whether treatment with oxygen in the early phases after a trauma plays a role in recovery.
