To demonstrate that the Insight Pro Device is safe and effective for use in detecting lymphatic and venous disorders.
The present study aims to use a game-based tele-exercise program for patients using a compression garment to improve lower extremity edema. This tele-exercise gaming platform can work as an efficient exercise to improve patients' muscle strength. It also can be helpful in improving edema and venous return and can be used in addition to compression garments to increase efficacy. The sample size (n=30) is convenient and designed to explore acceptability and feasibility. Eligible participants will be screened at the Baylor college of Medicine Clinic based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Participants who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form will be randomly assigned with ratio of 1:1 into two groups. Both groups will receive a compression garment to use for 4 weeks, and in the intervention group, patients will receive a sensor and a tablet to play foot \& ankle exercise games twice a day for 5 minutes. Study participation will be 4 weeks for all participants. Participants will be assessed in two visits: a baseline visit (BL) and a visit at the end of the 4 weeks (W4). The primary outcomes will be calf circumference, foot volume, and pitting edema grade. Secondary outcomes include limb strength, foot perfusion, gait assessment (gait speed, stride length, double stance, and gait steadiness), balance, and quality of life. The coordinator will monitor patients weekly to see their adherence to the compression garment and game-based exercise.
Epidermal grafts are believed to promote healing by two mechanisms: graft take and the promotion of wound healing through the delivery of growth factors and the essential elements of tissue repair and wound healing.28 This study is intended to establish the superior effectiveness of epidermal grafting and multi-layer compression over that of multi-layer compression alone, in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Millions of Americans are afflicted with painful, open, draining sores on their lower extremities. These sores are referred to as venous leg ulcerations (VLUs). Under the best of circumstances these ulcers require weeks or months to heal. Not uncommonly wound care specialists see patients who have suffered for years or faced amputation of the limb as their only option to alleviate the pain. Standard of care will result in healing in 50% of venous leg ulcers in 12 weeks. However, roughly half of patients suffering from venous ulcers will require advanced therapy. Epidermal grafting has been a reconstructive option for decades; however, to date there has not been a reliable and reproducible system to harvest epidermis. The CelluTome® Harvesting System permits the harvesting of epidermal blister grafts at the patient's bedside without the need for anesthesia. The grafts can be easily transferred to the wound bed. In case studies, epidermal grafting appeared to be effective in reducing wound size and accelerating closure of venous leg ulcers.
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.
To evaluate the Koya wearable device - a Novel Portable Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device (NPCD) in contrast to an advanced pneumatic compression device (APCD)
A 12 month, multicenter, open-label registry to observe chronic venous insufficiency resulting in VLU treated with Varithena.
The safety and efficacy of beta glucan products, and specifically TR 987, in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency ulcers has been established. This study is designed to determine the most efficient method of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare healing characteristics, reduction in the size of the wound and to measure complete healing of the wound following the application of a biologic product dressing instead of the alginate dressing along with standard debridement and compression therapy versus the standard of care treatment for VLUs. The biologic product that will be used in this study is called AmnioExCel™.
The goal of this study is to test MUSTCOOL, a home-based self-monitoring and self-management ulcer prevention intervention for patients with newly healed chronic venous leg and diabetic foot ulcers. Almost 90% of ulcers recur within 3 months of healing. During the six-month randomized clinic trial, skin temperature will be monitored daily, a maintenance dose of cooling gel pack or placebo will be applied three times weekly to the affected skin, and a bolus dose of cooling will be applied for 5 consecutive days if skin temperature becomes elevated. Outcomes on the incidence of leg ulcer recurrence, pain, physical activity and quality of life will be measured.
The purpose of the study is to assess treatment tolerance and comfort in chronic VLUs after 4 weeks of treatment using a dual action pneumatic compression device.
This study is being done to find out if an investigational product called HP802-247 can help people with venous leg ulcers. Investigational means that HP802-247 has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At least 250 subjects will participate. The study is going to be conducted in approximately 50 sites in the United States and Canada.
This trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study of subjects presenting with chronic lower extremity venous ulcers. The study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MIST Therapy® plus standard of care (MIST+SOC) compared to Standard of Care (SOC) alone in the treatment of lower extremity venous ulcers.
Leg vein circulation problems can damage the skin of the lower legs, especially around the ankles, by making it discolored, hard, itchy, red, and swollen. Ulcers often develop. Inflammation is often present in the damaged skin. This study will test whether using a special low compression, cooling, boot-like gel wrap placed around the damaged skin of the lower legs will improve the skin circulation and prevent leg ulcers. The study hypothesis is: A cryotherapy, low-compression cooling gel wrap (CW) plus usual care (UC) (leg elevation, compression stockings) intervention compared to a low compression non-cryotherapy "sham" wrap (NW) plus UC will reduce tissue blood flow (perfusion units) and decrease the incidence of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) during the 9-month study period in individuals with Stage 4 and 5 venous insufficiency.
The purpose of this study is: -item one to use two new non-invasive technologies to evaluate scarring and swelling associated with chronic venous insufficiency. The study hypothesis: - item one non-invasive technologies can provide a tool for assessing risk of ulcer development based on the tissue edema and alteration.
Peripheral venous disease occurs when a vein becomes damaged or blocked. It can occur almost anywhere in the body, but is most common in the arms and legs. This study will examine people who participated in a previous venous disease study to evaluate changes in leg veins and venous disease status over a period of 11 years.
A Non-randomized, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Koya Dayspring Active Wearable Compression Technology for Treating Lower Extremity Lymphedema
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Sonablate High Intensity Focused Ultrasound device can be safely used to treat patients with Chronic Venous Incompetence (CVI) including those with venous malformations of the periphery meaning legs, abdomen, chest or back. Examples of CVI are varicose veins, vascular congestion, venous ulcer, venous clusters, venous anomalies, mixed malformation, Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, CLOVES, Syndrome, Blue Rubber bleb Nevus Syndrome. HIFU is a non-invasive treatment as opposed to current treatment options which include incisions, needle penetration, wire insertions or catheter insertions.
The purpose of the study is to test non-inferiority of chronic Venous Leg Ulcer (VLU) area reduction at 16 weeks with a dual action pneumatic compression device compared to multi-layer bandaging.
The purpose of this study is to determine the ease of use and comfort of the ACTitouch dual action pneumatic compression device in patients with unilateral or bilateral chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) with or without venous leg ulcers, as compared to standard compression.
This study was designed to confirm the clinical benefits and safety of OrCel in the treatment of venous ulcers. OrCel and standard care are compared to standard care alone. Standard care consists of currently accepted compression therapy. Patients are treated for 12 weeks. Patients with healed ulcers are followed for an additional 12 weeks to assess durability of the healed wound.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is weak and not able to effectively pump blood to the body. One of the common manifestations of CHF is fluid overload and swelling of the legs. Diuretics or "water pills" are usually the treatment for fluid overload and leg swelling; however, in some patients' diuretics are no longer effective or the effectiveness is limited due to poor kidney function. The presence of chronic swelling of the legs could potentially damage the veins; additionally, it could lead to chronic skin changes in the legs and in the worst cases to a leg ulcer. Compression stockings are used in patients with venous diseases to reduce the swelling of the legs and improve mobility and quality of life. Although, there is a theoretical risk that compression stockings might push the fluid of the legs back to the heart and lungs worsening the CHF. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of knee-high tight socks (tight stockings with strong compression) vs. knee-high soft socks (soft stockings with minimum compression) are effective in preventing swelling and skin changes and safe in patients with CHF. During the first visit (in-person) a routine medical test will be performed including blood tests, review of the medication doses, current weight, an ultrasound images of the veins, (venous reflux ultrasound), questions about health status and a brief physical exam. The participants will be randomly assigned to receive tight compression vs. soft compression socks. Participants will be asked to wear the socks at least 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. There will be a total of 3 virtual visit (by video or telephone); the first one after one week, then after one month and two months. During the virtual visit participants will be asked about symptoms, current medications and doses, and current weight. The participants are expected to return to the clinic after 3 months for a second in-person visit. During this visit the investigators will ask questions about participant's health, they will perform a brief physical exam of their legs, and check participants weight and medicines; also, a venous ultrasound of the legs, questions about health status will be performed. The duration of the study is 3 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of image-guided, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an effective strategy with which to reduce Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) disease severity and improve quality of life in patients with established disabling iliac-obstructive post thrombotic syndrome (DIO-PTS).
More than 100 hospital based outpatient wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico agree to transmit structured data on all patients followed with chronic wounds and ulcers (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care including adherence to wound care quality measures developed by the USWR as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).
Subjects with lower extremity lymphedema will be prescribed, per standard of care, to either Flexitouch Plus with conservative care or conservative care only and be followed for 12 months.
