Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect on pain of Virtual Reality Therapy as add-on therapy during wound care procedures in adults.

The purpose of this study is to innovatively design and develop computerized dual-task balance training modules and home modules, and conduct proactive clinical verification to focus on the effectiveness of balance control and gait stabilization strategies. It is expected that in addition to the development of the training module, a proactive study will be conducted at the same time. During the period from the fourth quarter of the first year to the second year, there will be 25 patients in the experimental group and 25 patients in the control group. A total of 50 patients will undergo preliminary efficacy analysis.

This prospective randomized double blinded study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of early pharmacologic intervention with calcitonin on the incidence or the severity of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury

This prospective randomized study will assess an emergency department (ED) based prevention strategy in geriatric patients at high risk for recurrent falls and injury. Falling is a major health hazard in older adults with a number of proposed but unproven protocols to prevent fall-related injuries. This study proposes to study one of these strategies, the CDC's Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries program (the STEADI Program).

This study aims to examine the value of nebulized heparin for prevention of acute lung injury in adult patients suffering smoke inhalation injury. Patients will be randomized to receive nebulized heparin or an equal volume of normal saline for 14 days and the incidence of acute lung injury will be compared in either group.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare difference between Aspirin 81 mg and Aspirin 325 mg in preventing strokes in patients with head and neck vessels injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: If Aspirin 81 mg efficacy in prevention of stroke in patients with head and neck vessels injury is not lower than and Aspirin 325 mg. If rate of hemorrhagic complications in patients with head and neck vessels injury taking Aspirin 81 mg is not higher than patients that take Aspirin 325 mg.

This study is proposing the use of i-PRF clot as a scaffold for the XCM in order to obtain a novel biomaterial, incorporating active growth factors and collagen matrix in a single framework, based on the potential effect of i-PRF to enhance fibroblast activity and angiogenesis stimulation for treatment of multiple gingival recession.

The purpose of this investigation is to delineate the incidence of acute and chronic laryngeal injury following intubation within our health system. In addition, this study seeks to identify risk factors for airway injury that may provide information to help reduce the incidence of injury or increase the speed of diagnosis through hospital based process measures. Study Aims Determine the incidence of acute laryngeal injury in patients with prolonged intubation. Determine the incidence of chronic laryngeal injury in the subset of patients with acute laryngeal injury Initiate a randomized control trial to investigate the ability of azithromycin and budesonide to improve objective and subjective breathing measures in patients with Acute Laryngeal injury (ALgI) following endotracheal intubation.

The purpose of this trial is to test the clinical benefit and feasibility of structured risk based post discharge care for hospital acquired Acute kidney injury survivors.This is a Pragmatic randomized controlled trial. It will be conducted at 2 hospitals in Alberta. 166 participants will be enrolled in this Randomized controlled trial..

This prospective pilot study is to enroll patients with clinically-defined infected wounds. Patients enrolled in the study will be followed for 16 weeks for wound closure (Phase A), and will then begin Phase B. 265 clinically diagnosed infected burn or chronic wound patients will be recruited for this study in Phase A. Based on the expectation that 89% of these wounds will heal within 16 weeks of enrollment, 234 of these patients will continue with the study for Phase B.
