7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate healing of incisions made with the PEAK PlasmaBlade 4.0 compared to scalpel and traditional electrosurgery (Bovie); to monitor and record key post-operative metrics following abdominoplasty with the PEAK PlasmaBlade 4.0 versus current standard of care (SOC); and to evaluate performance metrics of the PEAK PlasmaBlade 4.0 during abdominoplasty.
Up to 40 healthy subjects at 2 sites, age 30-65 year old with Fitzpatrick-Elastosis score of 3-6 and mild to moderate age/sun-related facial pigmentation that wish to improve their facial skin appearance. Hypothesis: The SST will improve the appearance of the wrinkles/elastosis and/or pigmentation by at least 1 on the FES scale or ≥50% in category scale at 3 months follow-ups in at least 50% of the study population.
At least thirty (30) subjects, Fitzpatrick-Goldman Skin Type II-V will be enrolled in 2 clinical sites; each clinic will enroll at least 15 subjects. Subjects should present visible wrinkles and/or elastosis requiring treatment. Hypothesis: The SST will improve the appearance of the wrinkles/elastosis as well as general skin tone by at least 25% as compared to M22 ResurFX 1565nm module alone, for at least 75% of the subjects.
A Clinical Trial Evaluating Efficacy of a Skin Cream Targeting Dermal Fat in Improving the Skin Elasticity of Healthy Volunteers.
The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and duration of escalating doses of IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®) in the treatment of glabellar rhytids (frown lines between the eyes). Fifteen subjects will be enrolled in the study; specifically 60 male or female patients 18 years of age or older with moderate to severe glabellar rhytids at maximum contracture. Each patient will be randomized to receive one of 5 doses of Xeomin®, in a one-time dose to the treatment area. The efficacy endpoints will be determined by investigator and subject live assessment of the glabellar rhytids at rest and maximum contraction at each visit (every other day for 6 days post-injection, every month for 9 months following) using a validated 4 point photographic scale (minimal wrinkles \[0\], mild wrinkles \[1\], moderate wrinkles \[2\], or severe wrinkles \[3\]) used in previous studies. A written description of each photograph will be included to help standardize the application of the Photographic Scale.
The objective of the study is to compare the time to onset of Dysport® versus Botox® in the treatment of lateral orbital rhytids ("crow's feet"). Thirty subjects were enrolled in the study; specifically 30 male or female patients 18 years or older with moderate to severe lateral orbital rhytids at maximum contracture. Each patient were randomized to be treated with Dysport® on one side and Botox® on the other side. Both the injector and patient were blinded to the injected toxin. The efficacy endpoints were determined by investigator and subject live assessment of "crow's feet" at rest and maximum contraction at each visit (every other day for 6 days post-injection, every month for 9 months following) using a validated 5 point photographic scale(no wrinkles \[0\], very fine wrinkles \[1\], fine wrinkles \[2\], moderate wrinkles \[3\] or severe wrinkles \[4\]) used in previous studies. A written description of each photograph was included to help standardize the application of the Photographic Scale.
Purpose: The aims of this randomized clinical trial are: 1. to assess scar quality from the patient and surgeon perspectives 2. to assess patient comfort in the days immediately following surgery 3. to assess the time taken to complete closure in the operating room. 4. the financial benefit or cost for the institution of using Steri Strip S will also be estimated. Two closure methods will be compared, a new coaptive film device (Steri Strip S) versus standard subcuticular sutures. The linear incisions will include the standard incision segments utilized for an inverted-T closure for bilateral breast reduction and the transabdominal incision segments utilized for abdominoplasty or TRAM flap harvest. Our hypothesis is that incisions segments closed with Steri Strip S compared to standard subcuticular closure, will yield scars of better cosmetic quality, in shorter time to closure, with novice and expert surgeons, for both bilateral breast reduction and abdominoplasty surgical procedures.
