Clinical Trials

Preliminary indicates that there is a significant seasonal and regional variation in incidence and causative organisms for post traumatic wound infections after open fractures. This finding makes the current use of a generic antibiotic for prophylaxis suboptimal. In order to validate this original finding we need to conduct a large scale study to determine if the patterns of infection truly vary depending on the time of year and the region in which the fracture occurs, and if so to change the way prophylactic antibiotic use is administered.

Researchers are performing this study to evaluate if intraoperative angiography can be shown numerically to determine which wounds are at high risk of wound necrosis/breakdown.

Is PriMatrix wound dressing capable of regenerating gum tissue inside the mouth?

This is a 3 to 4 months, single site, prospective randomized clinical study of patients diagnosed with a chronic wound. The primary objective is to assess changes in healing rate, by measuring differences in wound area when treating chronic wounds with the Next Science Wound Gel compared to the Triple Antibiotic Ointment Neosporin (Standard of Care, SOC).

The purpose of this study is to test an automated alert function of an ePRO monitoring and reporting tool for use in post-surgical pain self-management.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Vacuum-assisted dressings for treating patients who have open chest wounds by comparing the time-to-closure of such wounds to traditional wound care management.

Plan to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to determine the feasibility, benefits and educational impact of using simulation for patient education (SimEd) for post-mastectomy wound and drain care, compared to current patient education practice (StdEd). This study also seeks to derive and validate a skills assessment tool specifically developed to evaluate skills acquired during the education process and compare the results of SimEd vs StdEd; we also plan to relate the scores of our assessment tool to a validated instrument that measures readiness for patient dismissal and compare their results in both study arms.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of PEP in skin graft wounds.

The purpose of this study is to describe potential cosmetic differences in wound healing between absorbable and non-absorbable suture for wound closure of open carpal tunnel release and trigger finger pulley release, and to compare the two methods of wound closure based upon patient satisfaction, residual scar tenderness, and post-operative complications.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there is a benefit to adding opioid injection around the spinal cord ( intrathecal) to incisional long-acting local anesthetic (liposomal bupivacaine) injection for pain management after abdominal surgery for gynecological cancer.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the experiences and psychosocial impact of bevacizumab-wound-healing toxicities in cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess wound perfusion at the site of closure in primary spine surgery between running subcuticular suture, interrupted vertical mattress suture, and staple closure techniques.
