57 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This observational study will prospectively collect data on treatment options, patient/investigator satisfaction, requirement for retreatment or additional treatment, and long-term outcomes of 3 treatment modalities(XIAFLEX, fasciectomy, or fasciotomy/needle aponeurotomy) in patients with Dupuytren's contracture. In addition, this study will provide additional health economics and utilization data.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of two concurrent injections of AA4500 into the same hand in subjects with multiple Dupuytren's contractures with palpable cords followed 24 to 72 hours later by a finger extension procedure and compare the rate of occurrence of targeted serious adverse events (tendon rupture/ligament injury and anaphylaxis) to historical rates of the same in clinical studies and post-marketing commercial use. The secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of two concurrent injections of AA4500.
The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of AA4500 in the retreatment of recurrent contractures in joints that were effectively treated with AA4500 in a previous Auxilium-sponsored Phase 3 study.
The goal of this study is to learn about preventing recurrence of Dupuytren's Contracture. The main question it aims to answer are: • Does targeted radiation therapy decrease recurrence of Dupuytren's contracture after treatment with Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum? Participants will undergo: * Release of Dupuytren's Contracture after Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum injection * Daily radiation therapy treatment for 5 days followed by 6-8 week rest period and then another course of 5 days of radiation therapy
Prospective, randomized, controlled study to assess the safety and effectiveness of GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold in revision surgery for reduction of capsular contracture recurrence and/or malposition in implant-based breast augmentation patients versus patients undergoing conventional revision surgery with no supportive matrix or acellular dermal matrix (ADM). Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to receive either GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold or standard care (no ADM or matrix placement). This study is designed using an adaptive approach. The number of the treated breasts will range between 250 and 530.
This is an observational study, meaning participants will not receive any investigational treatment as part of this study. Researchers will collect real-world data (RWD), based on usual care, to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the natural history and the treatment outcomes of Dupuytren's Contracture (DC) to evaluate the management of DC.
To determine if the clinical impression of clinicians, ie that patients are improving with the current treatment pathway for Dupuytren's (contracture release followed by radiation), can be substantiated with scientific evidence.
PrEvention of posttraumatic contractuRes with Ketotifen 2 (PERK 2) is a Phase III randomized, controlled, double blinded multicenter trial with 3 parallel groups (Ketotifen 2 mg or 5 mg or lactose placebo twice daily orally for 6 weeks) and a primary endpoint of elbow extension-flexion range of motion (ROM) arc at 12 weeks post-randomization.
A 2 arm, 90 patient (45 per cohort) trial in patients with breast cancer who will be undergoing mastectomy with immediate tissue-expander reconstruction to determine whether treatment with zafirlukast (20mg PO BID) can reduce or prevent the development of capsular contracture.
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of allogeneic stem cell transplant.Chronic GVHD is characterized by skin thickening and tightening. Advanced sclerosis can lead to reduced range of motion and incapacitating joint contractures. Once present, there are few therapeutic options. We will treat sclerosis and limb contractures with an ablative fractional laser, a device FDA-approved for scar treatment. This approach has successfully treated contracturesdue to burn scars.
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation is to test the safety and effectiveness of the Aspen System™ and Aspen Rehabilitation Technique. The device is intended for the therapeutic treatment of capsular contracture of the breast in conjunction with the Aspen Rehabilitation Technique. The hypothesis of the proposed study is that external ultrasound with the Aspen System™ device in conjunction with the Aspen Rehabilitation Technique is safe and effective in the reduction by at least one level of Baker Grade III capsular contracture in cosmetic breast augmentation patients, maintained at one year from the final treatment. Potential benefits of the study to subjects include improvement in the grade of capsular contracture of the breast without surgical treatment. The investigation is planned to last 12 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the KneeMD subject-controlled knee rehabilitation device on the incidence of postoperative flexion contracture.
The investigators are studying the appearance and function of burn scars after treatment with fractionated carbon dioxide laser. The investigators hypothesize that the cosmetic appearance and range of motion will improve with treatment.
The goal of this research project is to evaluate injections of botulinum toxin A (Botox) as the treatment for knee flexion contracture after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The current treatment for patients who do not achieve full extension of the knee (flexion contracture) after TKA consists of an aggressive physical therapy program, home stretching program, and the use of an extension orthosis (brace). Many patients do not tolerate wearing these braces. This initial project is designed to use injections of Botox as an adjunct to the standard current treatment and evaluate its efficacy. It is our hypothesis that a single injection into the hamstrings in addition to routine postoperative rehabilitation will result in improved knee extension and this improvement in function should endure without further treatment.
To determine the efficacy of Metatarsal Dynasplint Sytem (MTP) in reducing contracture of hallux limitus secondary to Bunionectomy, in a longitudinal, controlled trial.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of ICX-RHY-013 in the treatment of stable, restrictive scars in subjects who have suffered a burn injury. Evaluation will be achieved through regular assessment of adverse events, vital signs, blood work monitoring and laboratory analysis cellular properties of the scar through biopsy. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate improvement in symptoms of scars including reduced pain, discomfort and itching, improvement in mobility and daily function, improvement in appearance and scar texture.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of XIAFLEX on your finger through MRI.
The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of concurrent administration of two injections of AA4500 into the same hand of subjects with multiple Dupuytren's contractures caused by palpable cords.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of clostridial collagenase injections for treatment of Dupuytren's contracture of the thumb and first web space. The investigators hypothesis is that clostridial collagenase will have safety not significantly different to that demonstrated in Phase III clinical trials, and will be effective in significantly reducing the degree of thumb contracture.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Ankle Dorsiflexion Dynasplint System (DS) is effective in treating contracture for patients with Ankle Equinus secondary to diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to determine if of manipulation of digits following collagenase injection for treatment of Dupuytren's contracture is effected by the amount of time between injection and manipulation.
This project will develop a descriptive database of patient information and patient outcomes. This database will be used to determine the association of time spent in rehabilitation and patient outcomes, to relate patient acuity to burn scar contracture development and to establish minimal time requirement guidelines for various rehabilitation patient outcomes.
The main purpose of this research study is to determine if the use of Trental and Vitamin E will decrease the incidence and severity of contractures (shrinking and or hardening of tissue surrounding the implant) associated with breast implant reconstruction following radiation treatment. Another goal is to find out the impact that Trental and Vitamin E have on implant loss or need for surgical intervention in the setting of chest wall radiation after reconstruction. In addition, the investigators want to evaluate the patient's sense of well being and quality of life.
This study is comparing two different kinds of splints for patients who have had a surgical contracture release of dupuytren's disease. It compares a static splint and a dynamic splint.
A Phase 1, open-label, single-dose pharmacokinetic study in subjects with Dupuytren's contracture conducted at one site in the United States. All subjects received a single dose of AA4500 0.58 mg, which was injected directly into the cord affecting either the metacarpophalangeal (MP) or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. Pharmacokinetic blood samples were collected before dosing, at predetermined time points through the 24 hours after dosing, Day 7, and Day 30. Efficacy and safety assessments were performed up to 30 days after the AA4500 0.58 injection. This study was designed to be part of the larger clinical program, for adult patients with Dupuytren's contracture with a palpable cord, where the data from 2 pivotal Placebo-Controlled studies (AUX-CC-857 \[NCT00528606\]and AUX-CC-859 \[NCT00533273\]) and 7 non-pivotal studies were evaluated.
This was a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted in the United States. Subjects with a diagnosis of Dupuytren's contracture in a metacarpophalangeal (MP) or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint that resulted in a fixed flexion deformity of at least one finger, other than the thumb, that was at least 20° as measured by finger goniometry and was suitable for injection were randomized 2:1 to receive AA4500 0.58 mg or placebo. This study was designed to be part of the larger clinical program, for adult patients with Dupuytren's contracture with a palpable cord, where the data from 2 pivotal Placebo-Controlled studies (AUX-CC-857 (NCT00528606) and AUX-CC-859 (NCT00533273)) and 7 non-pivotal studies were evaluated.
Limited ankle range of motion is associated with increased risk for ankle sprains, knee joint dysfunction and injury to the ACL. Therefore, it is important that researchers and clinicians understand the best treatment options to increase ankle range of motion for injury prevention. We are recruiting adults with limited ankle range of motion who are lacking current ankle injuries for a treatment investigation. All study procedures will occur on the campus of the University of South Carolina by a licensed Physical Therapist and experienced researcher.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the HyperVolt percussive massage device, body tempering, and dry cupping to static stretching of the hamstrings of healthy adults aged 18-39 years on the active knee extension and back saver sit-and-reach test.While these modalities are frequently used in healthcare settings there is a paucity of research regarding effectiveness. If the effects on flexibility are comparable, patients could save time and money by performing static stretching.
Dupuytren disease is a fibroproliferative condition of the palmar and digital fascia. A collagen containing cord forms which can lead to fixed flexion contracture of one or more fingers. While there is no cure, many treatment options are available to manage symptoms. One of these options is injectable collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH). CCH is a combination of two highly selective microbial collagenases that can disrupt collagen types I and III usually found in cords. Current standard of care after receiving a CCH injection is daily hand exercises and use of a static night brace for four months. However, there is limited evidence that use of a night splint after CCH injection has any benefit post-treatment. The goal of our randomized, controlled trial, is to determine the clinical effectiveness of splinting after CCH injection. Study subjects will be adults 18 years of age or older with Dupuytren disease and contracture of one or more digits. Treatment includes collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection for Dupuytren flexion contraction, with randomization to static night splint or no splint.
