Active clinical trials for "Varicose Ulcer"

Observe the long-term (1-year) outcomes of Dermagraft, compared with conventional treatment of four-layer compression bandaging therapy alone, in subjects who completed the ABH-Dermagraft-001-08 study. Study Hypothesis: N/A (Long-term follow-up study)

This investigation is a Post Marketing Follow-Up Study for Mepilex XT conducted as part of Mölnlycke Health Care's quality system. The primary objective is to evaluate the performance of the dressing when used as intended on exuding Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs) in the inflammatory and granulating stages of the wound healing process.

This study randomises patients with venous leg ulcers, to be managed either using conventional compression bandages or a bridged vacuum assisted closure system under compression.

The present randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the role of transforming nanoparticle dressing n management of chronic venous ulcers.

The overall study objective is to use microarray technology to identify and characterize the gene expression of multiple relevant genes in biopsies of non-healing venous ulcers.

The use of PRP has dramatically increased in the fields of orthopedics, spine surgery, reconstructive plastic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dermatological indications. Nonetheless, its use in the treatment of wounds is not as widespread as in other fields. In this experimental study, the treatment outcome of autologous PRP was assessed in comparison to conventional therapy among patients with chronic venous leg ulcers.

A randomized, split-plot, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The varicose ulcer is divided into two (side A and B). Half of the wound's surface is treated locally with insulin (Glargine) applied at an approx depth of 3-4 mm. Treatment with insulin is administered for 7 days. Biopsy specimens of the two sides are obtained on days 0 and 7. A thermographic photograph of the wound is taken at days 0 and 7. The number of blood vessels and fibroplasia is evaluated as the main outcome.

Arterio-venous leg ulcers are real problems when it comes to public health because it has a major cost and leads to social and professional handicap. The management of leg ulcers is not clear and can be venous compression or surgery. The aim of the study is to evaluate the variation of the transcutaneous oxygen with compression. The second aim is to see how tolerate is the compression and the quality of life.

The purpose of the study is to assess treatment tolerance and comfort in chronic VLUs after 4 weeks of treatment using a dual action pneumatic compression device.

Based upon the in-vitro data AQUACEL® Extra™ achieves a 39% increase in absorbency. As such it is anticipated that through improved exudate management a longer wear time will be achieved in the AQUACEL® Extra™ group compared to AQUACEL® in the management of chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers.
