Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

A prospective cohort design will be used to assess differences in outcomes between pivoting sport athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) who follow usual care and those who follow a treatment algorithm with a RTS and rehabilitation tool. Athletes aged 15-40 at injury with primary ACLR who express a goal to return to sports with frequent pivoting are eligible. The RTS and rehabilitation tool includes standardized clinical, functional and muscle strength testing 6, 8, 10, and 12 months after surgery. Individual test results guide progression in sports participation and the content of further rehabilitation according to a standardized algorithm.

Single center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, pragmatic Phase 2 clinical study in severely injured trauma patients within hours of hospitalization who have survived initial resuscitation.

This research study is designed to allow health care professionals and researchers to answer many questions about whether a new type of physical therapy called blood flow restriction training (called BFRT) will improve recovery for those with patellar instability.

The DROP trial evaluates two ways of treating patients whose abdomens are left open after their abdominal surgery. The current standard of care at Sanford is for patients to have their wound covered with a sterile dressing connected to a vacuum with suction, which removes fluid from the abdomen. In this trial, we are evaluating the benefits of adding dialysis fluid to the abdomen periodically, prior to suctioning it out with the vacuum system. This trial will show if the addition of this fluid lowers the risk of complications and death, and allows the surgeon to close the abdomen sooner

Randomized, interventional trial of Emergency Department (ED) administration of DSUVIA (sufentanil) versus standard care pain management comparing pain treatment outcomes in injured patients with moderate to severe pain

The purpose of this interventional study is to compare SynEx Wound Cleanser with the current routine care (Saline) in traumatic wounds. Participants with gunshot, penetrating or burn wounds who participate will be asked to attend up to four study visits, use the assigned wound cleanser and complete brief surveys about their healing and well-being related to the wound healing.

This study will explore whether the types and intensity of the interventions being delivered will yield measurable cognitive benefits in addition to improved mobility and balance. The study evaluates three therapeutic approaches to improve mobility and balance after traumatic brain injury (TBI): Conventional Gait and Balance Training, high intensity step training, and high intensity step training with virtual reality.

This randomized, controlled, pivotal study is intended to determine whether up to ten sequential 24-hour treatments with the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) will improve survival in patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) when compared to CKRT alone (standard of care). This study is further intended to determine whether SCD therapy will reduce the duration of maintenance dialysis secondary to AKI. This study will enroll approximately 200 subjects across 30 US sites. Participants will be patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting with a diagnosis of AKI requiring CKRT.

This study is a prospective, multicenter, parallel-group, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Sepsis is defined as organ dysfunction induced by infections. And sepsis and gastrointestinal injury can be the leading cause for each other. Our previous study showed erector spinae plane block improved the organ dysfunctions in patients with AGI. The aim of the clinical trial is to investigate erector pinae plane block improves the organ dysfunction in septic patients with acute gastrointestinal injury.

This study is to determine if large, full thickness scalp wounds with exposed calvarium resulting from acutely created extirpative defects can be reliably and durably resurfaced with IDRT without burring or fenestration as a preliminary step, regardless of the size of the calvarial defect.
