The Spotlight Study: Early Identification of Post-Surgical Infections Using Bedside Ultrasound.
Introduction The goal of this observational study is to learn whether point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can help detect early fluid build-up under the skin after open abdominal surgery (laparotomy) and whether these findings can predict surgical site infection. The study includes adults who recently had emergency or planned open abdominal surgery. …
Chronic Transcutaneous Stimulation to Promote Motor Function and Recovery in Individuals With Paralysis or Paresis
This is an early feasibility trial to determine whether transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation, with or without transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, using an investigational neurostimulation device improves functional arm/hand movements in individuals with paralysis or paresis due to a spinal cord injury or stroke and improves functional arm/hand or leg/foot movements …
Dosing rTMS for Depression Post-SCI
Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is more commonly seen in individual's post-spinal cord injury (SCI) than in the general population. Depression post-SCI impacts an individuals' quality of life and recovery. It has been reported that among Veterans with an SCI, those without depression live longer than …
Timing Impact of Early vs. Late Cranioplasty on Hemicraniectomy Outcomes
This prospective, randomized study aims to comprehensively evaluate the impact of cranioplasty timing on postoperative complications and long-term functional outcomes following decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC). The primary endpoint focuses on comparing the rates of various postoperative complications, including infection, seizures, return to the operating room, and the need for ventriculoperitoneal shunting, …
Comparing Digitally and Traditionally Made Ankle Foot Orthoses
The research is being done to compare two methods of creating AFOs: 1. The traditional method, which involves manually creating a mold from a plaster cast of the client's limb. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive; and 2. The newer method uses digital technology, such as 3D scanning and printing, to …
Research on Wireless Brain Implant System for General Control of External Devices
The clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the minimally invasive, wireless brain-machine interface system (WRS) in enabling general brain control of external devices, such as a cursor and other assistive technologies, for paralyzed and amputee patients. WRS integrates a high-throughput, ultra-flexible neural electrode with an extremely …
Interest of a Musical Intervention on Stress Induced During Botulinum Toxin Injections in Spasticity (MUSIBOT)
Botulinum toxin (BT) injections are a painful treatment frequently used to treat spasticity following central neurological damage (stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, head trauma). Tolerance of injections varies from patient to patient. For most patients, the pain experienced during the injection is a major source of stress. Numerous clinical …
Role of Endothelial Function in SCI CVD Risk
Individuals with spinal cord injury have heart attacks and strokes more frequently, and much earlier in life. People with spinal cord injuries develop plaque in vessels much faster, and the reasons why are unclear. Doctors generally attributed the increased risk with weight gain and developing diabetes, but many studies have …
DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Perioperative Biomarkers and Outcomes
Brief Summary This observational study will follow patients who undergo DIEP flap breast reconstruction to better understand a common surgical challenge called ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. I/R injury can happen when a flap has a period without blood flow (ischemia) and then blood flow returns (reperfusion). This process may trigger inflammation …
Surgical Handwashing: Drying With One or Two Surgical Towels
This study aims to determine whether the use of two sterile towels for drying after surgical handwashing results in fewer contamination events compared to the use of only one towel among healthcare personnel. This randomized, multicenter, superiority-controlled trial will enroll up to 72 healthcare workers and surgical residents from three …
