Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

This is a pilot trial being performed to evaluate the feasibility, to include the ability of EMS to identify patients in shock and the ability to package, store, and administer Kcentra in the field.

Children with acquired brain injury (ABI) often struggle with complex impairments, including cognitive (such as memory and attention), social, emotional and behavioral challenges. There is a lack of evidence-based knowledge about rehabilitation for children with ABI in the chronic phase. The current study, the CICI Study, is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) directed towards children with ABI and their families in the chronic phase. The study will be conducted in close collaboration with schools and local health care providers. The CICI Study focuses on the child's and parents' individually identified target outcome areas and rehabilitation goals. The intervention aims to enhance everyday functioning in the home and school environment by attaining rehabilitation goals in areas noted as challenging by the participants. The efficacy of the CICI-intervention will be measured in terms of goal attainment, burden of brain injury related symptoms, parenting self-efficacy, unmet health care needs, as well as several aspects of child, parent and family functioning.

The main objective of this placebo-controlled randomized double-blinded study is to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on vitamin D status (25(OH)D concentration in the blood) among individuals with a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Further, the effects of vitamin D supplementation on several other parameters (e.g. bone density and mood) are investigated, which could reveal positive secondary effects of supplementation that are especially relevant for clinical practice.

NTX-001 is a single use surgical product intended for use in conjunction with standard suture neurorrhaphy of severed nerves in patients between 16 and 80 years of age.

Our overarching goal is to improve the outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients with or at risk for development of acute kidney injury (AKI). The objective of this study is to determine the role of a protocol to manage urine alkalization using a simple medication that has been used for a very long time, is safe, and without significant side-effects. We aim to determine the feasibility and safety of a urine alkalinization protocol for the prevention of AKI in patients testing positive for COVID-19.

The objective is to determine the effectiveness of a multimodal educational intervention to reduce supplemental oxygen use in major burn patients. Investigators will also evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of the more targeted use of oxygen therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an implanted stimulator and sensor for providing hand and arm function for individuals with cervical level spinal cord injury.

The primary goal of this study is to conduct a multi-site RCT to evaluate the replicability and efficacy of the ReInventing Yourself after SCI intervention in improving health and function outcomes for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). A total of 252 participants will be randomized to one of three research arms: 1) Group treatment plus workbook (Group), 2) individual self-study through YouTube video plus workbook (Indiv), and 3) no treatment, no workbook (Control). Participants randomized to the Group arm will attend 6 virtual weekly group sessions led by a pair of group facilitators and will utilize the study workbook. Indiv arm participants will receive the workbook and will be instructed to independently access YouTube videos of the group session content. Control arm participants will not receive any intervention during the 6 week period. Participants in all three arms will be assessed at identical time points throughout the study: baseline, 6 weeks, 14 weeks, 22 weeks, 30 weeks, and 46 weeks. It is hypothesized that individuals in the Group intervention arm will show greater improvements after the six week intervention in SCI-specific and general self-efficacy, emotional well-being, increased societal participation, less depressive and anxiety symptomatology, and improved resilience than participants in the Indiv and Control arms.

This a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial to study the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on contrast-induced acute kidney injury, vascular and renal biomarkers in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina undergoing cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention.

This purpose of this pilot and feasibility study is to determine whether attending an acute kidney injury (AKI) clinic after discharge from the hospital impacts prescription medicine use, blood pressure and recovery of kidney function as compared to usual care.
