6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Patients who have hypo-pigmented burn scar will have two scars chosen and randomized to treated scar and control scar. The subject will then have both scars treated with fractional ablative CO2 laser (FLSR). The treated scar will have bimatoprost delivered through the laser channels, while the control will have the vehicle (normal saline) only delivered. The treatment will continue for 14 days with twice daily application. The scars will then be monitored at a 2-week follow-up visit where levels of melanin will be evaluated. Tissue punch biopsies will also be used to evaluate the mechanism of action of bimatoprost. Treatment will occur for 6 sessions at 4-6 week intervals including follow- up visits and evaluations.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Excel V 532 nm KTP laser for the treatment of dyschromia of the neck and/or chest (poikiloderma of Civatte).
The primary objective of this pilot study is exploratory investigation evaluating the Potenza microneedle fractional radiofrequency (RF) device and may be used in combination with the Icon intense pulsed light (IPL) device.
In this prospective study, the investigators will enroll 154 children with arterial lines to determine the accuracy of pulse oximeters in children with darker skin pigmentation. Studies in adults suggest pulse oximeters may overestimate the true level of oxygenation in the blood as measured directly by co-oximetry. However, pediatric data are relatively limited. This study, which is funded by the FDA through the Stanford-UCSF (University of California San Francisco) Clinical Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) Program, will determine if the error/bias is associated with skin pigmentation and whether the error falls outside FDA standards. The broader purpose of the study is to work toward eliminating health disparities.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Dermal Cooling System for lightening of benign pigmented lesions and to assess additional cosmetic benefits.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether weekly dosing of oral vitamin D3 is effective in correcting low vitamin D levels in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (also known as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
