Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

The investigators have spent the last decade uncovering unique metabolic and functional abnormalities in the brains of patients with spinal cord compression. Degenerative spinal cord compression represents a unique model of reversible spinal cord injury. In the investigator's previous work, they have demonstrated that cortical reorganization and recruitment is associated with metabolic changes in the brains of patients recovering from spinal cord compression and is correlated with recovery and improved neurological scores. The goal of this study is to combine a rigorous platform of clinical care that includes preoperative evaluation, surgery, and rehabilitation, with state of the art imaging techniques to demonstrate how rehabilitative therapy can increase brain plasticity and recovery of neurological function in patients with spinal cord injury. Neurological function will be carefully evaluated in two groups of patients, those receiving rehabilitation and those not receiving rehabilitation after spine surgery, and will be correlated with the results of advanced imaging.

Central nervous system (CNS) injury leads to morbidity in patients, which has few good rehabilitation measures. Mesenchymal stem cells seem to have regenerative and tissue-repairing capabilities. The investigators design this study to infuse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) intrathecally to CNS injury patients, and observe the safety and efficacy by recording the change of nervous system scores, trying to prove the effect of MSC in rehabilitate CNS injury.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a Chinese herb complex "Jinchuang ointment" (JCO) on the treatment of chronic nonhealing wounds in patients with Hansen's disease and its mechanism.

This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, within subject controlled design to evaluate the effectiveness of Microsurfaced vs Control cadaveric grafts for coverage of acute deep-partial or full-thickness burn wounds to promote wound healing. This study will be performed in 2 parts: Time to wound bed preparedness through 6 weeks (Part A) and wound site healing, graft take and long-term scar outcomes (Part B). Subjects will be treated with both control and microsurfaced cadaveric grafts on adjacent deep-partial or full-thickness burn wounds.

The investigators present a randomised open label phase Ib/IIa trial of nebulised unfractionated heparin to evaluate the effect of nebulised unfractionated heparin on the procoagulant response in ICU patients with SARS-CoV-2 requiring advanced respiratory support. As this is one of the first studies of nebulised heparin in COVID 19 lung disease the investigators will assess safety as a co-primary outcome.

This is a prospective, randomized, single-site, safety and efficacy study of subjects with chronic venous stasis ulcers. Patients will fall into two categories: treatment arm (24 subjects) and non-treatment or control arm (12 subjects). The treatment group will undergo a small liposuction procedure and receive placement of autologous cell therapy (stromal vascular fraction or SVF) injected around the rim of venous stasis wound (subcutaneously)following standard wound debridement, with saturation of collagen dressing material with standard over-dressing. Control (non-treatment) subjects will receive debridement and dressing changes as per standard of care without SVF.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of mirabegron compared to oxybutynin chloride immediate release (oxybutynin IR) for a condition called neurogenic detrusor overactivity in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).

The purpose of this observational study is to investigate the treatment of complaints following sports injuries with Traditional Chinese Medicine by therapists in Switzerland.

Patients with Septic AKI will be randomized in three arms, group PFD 1,200 will receive PDF 600mg every 12 hrs per mouth, group PDF 600 will receive PFD 600mg in the morning and placebo equivalent at night and Group Placebo will receive placebo every 12 hrs, all for 7 days, all receive conventional treatment KDIGO guides. We analyze the recovery of renal function as a primary objective.

The radial and ulnar artery injuries related with the wrist cut are frequently encountered. There are many factors which are effective on the improvement of these arterial structures was repaired with microsurgical techniques. Recently has begun to focus on neointimal thickening and endothelialization of the role in vascular healing and maturation made on histopathological study. In this study, the radial and ulnar artery laceration repair healing with the microsurgical anastomosis methods on blood CD34, CD133 and CD309 levels of the effect of the distribution of lymphoid cells has been investigated. The investigators think that; thus by demonstrating the positive impact that may arise; autologous endothelial progenitor cells which are obtained in patients; continuation of anastomotic patency undergoing coronary by-pass or the in hemodialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula; also ensuring the re-flow in patients with acute and chronic peripheral arterial occlusion. The investigators believe could be used for the reimplanted tissue in the limb breakage ensuring that survive.
