Phase N/A

Powered by AI

Overview

The objective is to show the superiority of the PRP + microfat (MG) mixture compared to microfat alone, in the filling of large subcutaneous depressions of the face and skull. The investigators chose to study the post neurosurgical sequelae after removal and reinstallation of the cranial flap, with, for example, damage to the temporal muscle and asymmetry of the temples or sinking of the cranial flap

Description

This clinical superiority study will be conducted in a double-blind, randomized fashion. The follow-up of each patient will be 6 months post injection.

22 patients will be included and randomized into 2 arms: PRP + microfat or microfat alone. The primary endpoint will be assessed by a radiologist in a blinded fashion, using 3 MRI scans: the month before the procedure, the day after, and at 6 months (time at which fat resorption decreases).

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
