Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

Football-related knee injuries are common and especially the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury constitute a serious problem in football regardless of the playing level. The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of a training program designed to prevent acute knee injury in female adolescent football players. The investigators' hypotheses are: a preventive training program reduces the incidence of ACL injury, and a high match frequency and match play at senior level increase the risk of ACL injury.

The goal of the study is to determine effect of coach-led neuromuscular warm-up on non-contact, lower extremity (LE) injury rates among female athletes in a predominantly non-white public high school system. The investigators hypothesized the warm-up would reduce non-contact LE injuries.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the antiseptic efficacy of Lavasept 0.04% when used as an antiseptic agent and to compare these with Ringers' solution in patients with acute traumatic wounds.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the gentamicin-collagen sponge is safe and effective for preventing surgical wound infections in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of difference positioning on extension and efficacy of brachial plexus anesthesia at 20 minutes by using the axillary plexus block with supine positioning and a lateral positioning onto the non-anaesthetized side, combined with 20° Trendelenburg positioning.

To study the safety and efficacy of early administration of Low Molecular Weight Heparin to patients with traumatic brain injury.

The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an injury prevention intervention for collegiate soccer players.

Up to 5% of total shoulder arthroplasty patients experience transient or permanent nerve injury during surgery. In this study, we will monitor the nerve transmission of the patients' arm to detect whether the nerve is functioning normally. This techniques is called somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring. In this study, we will assess whether SSEP monitoring could detect nerve abnormalities, alerts the surgical team enabling optimize their surgical intervention and prevent surgical related nerve injury.

We want to compare the effects of 2 suture materials (monofilament and multifilament) on healing of the uterine scar after a cesarean delivery.

Prospective, randomized, sham-controlled clinical study was conducted to assess whether RIPC reduces the incidence of CI-AKI measured standard way of using SCr concentration but also with the use of serum NGAL as a new potential biomarker of kidney injury. Furthermore, the aim of investigation was to analyse the safety and clinical outcomes of RIPC after elective coronary angiography (CA) followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
