The purpose of this study is to better understand oral wound healing in the aged participant following placement of platelet-rich fibrinogen (PRF). In this study, 12 participants requiring a posterior tooth extraction will be enroll: 6 participants aged 14-18, 6 participants aged 50-80. All will undergo a posterior tooth extraction with a small tissue specimen taken from the extraction site. Half of the participants will also have their blood drawn and platelet-rich fibrinogen placed in the extraction socket. Participants will return in 2 weeks for suture removal and another soft tissue sample. Participants will return at 3 months for a final post-operative radiograph. All soft tissue samples will undergo immunofluorescence.

NIH-Healing Experience in All Life Stressors (NIH-HEALS) is a 35 item self-report questionnaire developed by the NIH Clinical Center Pain and Palliative care. It assesses an individual's mechanisms for coping as a means to reach "healing" during life's difficult situations and/or life limiting challenges. The factorial structure of the tool has been recently re-examined with 200 patients. The three main factors are: Connection (including religious, spiritual, interpersonal), Reflection/ Introspection, and Trust/Acceptance.
In the proposed trial the investigators will recruit women and men \>65 years of age with acute osteoporosis-related pelvic fractures and address 3 specific aims over 3 months of treatment in a placebo controlled double blind study to determine if standard care and teriparatide 20 mcg/day versus placebo for pelvic fractures: 1. Results in earlier evidence of cortical bridging on routine radiographs followed by confirmatory Focus CT, a novel method to reduce radiation exposure from CT scans (primary outcome). 2. Leads to a faster reduction in pain as assessed by both the Numeric Rating Scale and a reduction in the use of narcotics (secondary outcome). 3. Leads more rapidly to improved functional outcome using a short physical performance battery to assess lower extremity function (secondary outcome).
The aim of this study is to test the effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) HBOT (100% oxygen; 2.0 ATA; 90 minute total exposure) and compare against a hyperbaric sham treatment (HBST) (patient's breathing room air; 2.0 ATA; 90 minute exposure) in reducing edema and ecchymosis. HBOT will be applied as a single pre-operative and a single post-operative treatment for patients undergoing eyelid surgery. Briefly, patients will be exposed to HBOT 2-4 hours prior to undergoing surgery, 2-4 hours post-surgery and healing will be assessed at day 3, 10, 21, 30 \& 90 days after surgery. Edema and ecchymosis will be assessed in a time series to determine the extent that HBOT reduces these clinical signs. The primary null hypothesis to test will be that no differences in scores will exist between treatment and control at day 3, 10 \& 21 post-surgery. A secondary null hypothesis to test is the time required to change a score will be no different between the two groups. HBOT=hyperbaric oxygen therapy; HBST=hyperbaric sham treatment
Evaluate the INFUSE/MASTERGRAFT™ Delayed Healing Device as an alternative/replacement to autograft in the treatment of tibial delayed healing.
Gastroduodenal ulcers are extremely common in the community today. Though much has been written and observed concerning how ulcers form, not much has been described in the human model concerning how these ulcers heal. As numerous patients already suffer from gastrointestinal ulcers, further clarification of ulcer healing would be valuable in the treatment and management of these patients. The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of naproxen, aspirin, celecoxib, and clopidogrel on biopsy-induced gastroduodenal lesions in order to elucidate the mechanisms of ulcer healing. This single site, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, one-week prospective study will examine ulcer healing through endoscopic, immunohistologic, and molecular PCR modalities.
The objective of the study is to compare the healing of wounds induced by cryo-injury when treated with white petrolatum versus an ointment vehicle.
We expect subjects in the interventional groups, who wear shrinkers, to heal more quickly than control subjects who wear no shrinkers. We also expect them to experience greater reduction in residual limb volume during the early stages of postoperative care leading up to prosthetic fitting, fewer healing complications, reduced time to the prosthetic fitting, increased time to the first prosthetic socket replacement, and fewer socket replacements by the end of the "transition to stable phase".

Topical timolol, a β2-Adrenergic receptor (B2AR) antagonist, has demonstrated promise in wound healing over the past several years. The majority of the literature has evaluated the use of topical timolol to shorten wound healing time in chronic wounds of non-surgical etiologies. To date, there are no prospective randomized clinical trials evaluating the role of topical timolol for shortening wound healing time in acute open surgical wounds. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether or not topical timolol solution decreases time to wound healing in patients with defects after Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) that cannot be closed with sutures and are left to heal by second intent. The research team also will look to determine if there is a difference in cosmesis of wounds treated with topical timolol compared to those treated with the standard of care. The present study will primarily focus on wounds in the distal lower extremity as these are most commonly left to heal by secondary intent
This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Miro3D Wound Matrix plus Standard of Care (SOC) compared to SOC alone in treating Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and wound dehiscence in an outpatient setting. The trial is sponsored by Reprise Biomedical, Inc. and aims to explore whether the addition of Miro3D-a three-dimensional, acellular porcine-derived wound matrix-enhances wound healing outcomes compared to SOC alone. Purpose of the Study: The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether applying Miro3D in combination with SOC leads to improved healing of diabetic foot ulcers compared to SOC alone. Specifically, the study seeks to assess early wound healing progress at four weeks (as measured by percent area reduction and granulation tissue formation) as a predictor of complete healing by twelve weeks. Key Question the Study Seeks to Answer: Does the addition of Miro3D to standard wound care improve the healing rate and overall wound outcomes for patients with Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers or dehisced wounds compared to standard care alone? Study Design Overview: Subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized into one of two groups: 1. Miro3D + SOC arm - receiving Miro3D weekly for 4 weeks, then biweekly if needed, for up to 12 weeks. 2. SOC alone (control) arm - receiving SOC without Miro3D. If the wound remains unhealed at 12 weeks in the SOC alone arm, participants may "crossover" to receive Miro3D treatment under the same schedule for an additional 12 weeks. Primary Endpoint: 1. Percent Area Reduction (PAR) and granulation tissue formation at 4 weeks, serving as predictors for wound healing at 12 weeks. Secondary Endpoints: 1. Quality of Life (QOL) improvements, including pain, mobility, and emotional well-being, assessed using a validated Wound/Ulcer-QOL tool. 2. Pain levels using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at each visit. Population: Approximately 30 adult subjects (15 per arm) with Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers or dehisced wounds will be enrolled. Subjects must have adequate blood flow, demonstrate wound size criteria, and commit to offloading and follow-up care. Follow-Up: Subjects will be followed weekly through the 12-week study period. Healed subjects will undergo confirmation visits at 2 and 4 weeks post-closure. Subjects in the crossover arm will be followed for an additional 12 weeks if their wound was unhealed at the primary endpoint. Statistical Considerations: Data will be summarized using descriptive statistics, including wound measurements, infection status, and healing rates. Comparative analysis will be conducted between treatment groups and schedules (weekly vs. biweekly Miro3D application). Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and device-related events will also be documented. This study aims to generate clinical evidence supporting the use of Miro3D as a beneficial adjunct to standard wound care in promoting early and complete healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
This clinical study is being conducted to evaluate how well the Miro3D Wound Matrix helps heal difficult wounds and ulcerations in an outpatient care setting. Miro3D is a biologic wound dressing made from porcine (pig) liver tissue. It is processed to remove all cells, creating a clean scaffold that can support the body's natural healing process. The goal of this study is to see how effective Miro3D is when used alongside standard wound care for helping wounds close and reducing pain and discomfort. The study is designed as a post-market, proof-of-concept trial, meaning the product is already commercially available, and researchers are evaluating how it works in real-world clinical settings. A total of up to 20 adult participants will be enrolled. Participants may have wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, or surgical wound dehiscence. These wounds may be complex in nature, including tunneling or undermining, which often makes them more difficult to treat. Participants will receive standard wound care along with weekly Miro3D applications for the first 4 weeks. If the wound is not fully healed after 4 weeks, Miro3D will then be applied every 2 weeks until healing is achieved or up to 12 weeks total. Throughout the study, participants will return weekly for wound assessments and to complete brief questionnaires about their pain levels and quality of life. The main goals of the study are: 1. To measure how much the wound size shrinks (known as percent area reduction or PAR). 2. To evaluate how much healthy granulation tissue (new tissue) forms in the wound. 3. To compare healing outcomes when Miro3D is used weekly versus every two weeks. 4. To understand how the treatment affects patients' quality of life, including pain, mobility, and emotional wellbeing. Each participant will be closely monitored by the clinical team throughout the 12-week study period. If a wound heals earlier, the participant will finish the study at that time. If the wound does not heal, the participant may return to their regular physician for follow-up care.
The study aims to investigate therapeutic virtual reality (VR) facilitation with adult inpatients using VR as an analgesic and anxiolytic during their hospitalization. Specifically, this study will evaluate the outcomes of patients who experience therapeutic VR with and without a trained facilitator as a form of escapism.
The goal of this single-arm clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness and safety of the X A-DERM™ mADM in promoting wound healing and improving scar formation after MMS surgery for removing BCC, SCC, or MIS lesions on the face, head, and upper limbs. The main questions it aims to answer are how well this intervention works and what is the safety profile. The primary hypothesis is that the use of X A-DERM™ will result improved wound healing and scar formation after 60 days post-procedure. Participants will undergo MMS surgery to remove BCC, SCC, or MIS lesions, and then will receive the X A-DERM™ mADM graft at the surgical site. Participants will return to the office four additional times for the clinician to collect data on their wound healing. This will involve taking pictures of the wound, conducting clinical assessments (CROs), and documenting the patient's reported outcomes (PROs).

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of non-contact low frequency ultrasound in populations sustaining fingertip amputations. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does non-contact low frequency ultrasound significantly improve patient outcomes in patients sustaining acute fingertip amputations? Researchers will compare non-contact low frequency ultrasound to a standard Lalonde protocol to answer this questions. Participants will be randomized one of the two study arms and evaluated by wound care therapy. They will receive cohort appropriate therapy sessions 2-3 times per week with measurement of wound size once per week.
This study examines a patient population with a non-healing, non-infected venous leg ulcer (VLU) having adequate arterial perfusion with confirmed venous reflux. It is hypothesized that weekly applications of the human placental allograft BioREtain® Amnion Chorion (BR-AC) applied to a non-healing VLU will result in a higher proportion of wounds showing complete healing within 12 weeks of initiating therapy, compared to standard care alone. This study has a crossover period, where subjects on standard care alone who do not achieve complete healing within 12 weeks of initiating therapy will be allowed to crossover to receive BR-AC over 12 additional weeks, to evaluate if their wound can achieve complete healing.
The main purpose of this research study is to compare the proportion of wound closure in subjects that receive E-GRAFT™ with Standard of Care (SOC) versus FIBRACOL™ with SOC. Other research purposes include the following: * Rate of wound closure * Change in ulcer size over 12 weeks * Any adverse events or reactions (side effects) * Changes in neuropathy (nerve damage) * Change in pain levels * Occurrence of infection
