Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy and LASER Disinfection in Periodontal Therapy for Treatment of Periodontitis
The goal of this clinical trial is to Investigate the clinical and microbiological efficacies of Laser disinfection and ICG-mediated aPDT as adjunct to RSD for patients with periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of laser disinfection or ICG-mediated aPDT as adjunct to RSD are …
Action of Photodynamic Therapy on Wound Quality and Tissue Repair in the Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot ulcer affects 10.5% of the Brazilian/world population, compromising the quality of life of these patients and burdening the public health system. Studies show that antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) accelerates its repair, however, there is not enough evidence for decision-making in clinical practice, which prevents this treatment from being …
Imaging Techniques to Monitor Photosensitizer and sO2 Levels During Photodynamic Therapy of Actinic Keratoses
The purpose of the study is to test a new video device for actinic keratoses. The device takes images of your skin lesions during the treatment, to learn whether this device can predict how well the treatment is working.
Intravesical Photodynamic Therapy ("PDT") in BCG-Unresponsive/Intolerant Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer ("NMIBC") Patients
This is a phase II, open-label, single-arm, multi-center Study conducted in Canada and the United States. Patients with NMIBC CIS (with or without resected papillary disease (Ta, T1)) that are considered Bacillus Calmette-Guerin ("BCG")-Unresponsive or who are intolerant to BCG therapy. BCG-Unresponsive is at least one of the following: At …
The Effect of Leukocyte and Platelet-rich Fibrin With Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in Aggressive Periodontitis
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is associated with photosensitizing agents which promote the generation of free radicals and singlet oxygen, which are cytotoxic to certain bacteria. Leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) has been used extensively in the treatment of intrabony defects and achieved excellent results. It acts as an immune regulation …
Comparative Study Between Photodynamic Therapy with LED Associated with Probiotics in the Treatment of Halitosis
Halitosis is a term that defines any odor or bad smell coming from the oral cavity, which can have a local or systemic origin. This project aims to verify if there is a difference in the effectiveness of treatment with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) with LED associated with treatment using …
The Effect of Topical Imipramine on Photodynamic Therapy-Mediated Immunosuppression on Forearms on US Veterans
The purpose of this study is to test the use of topical imipramine in combination with topical photodynamic therapy's (PDT) effect on immunosuppression following treatment. PDT is a commonly used treatment in dermatology for patients who have many pre-cancers (actinic keratosis or "AK") on their skin. These are both FDA-approved …
Efficacy of Adjunctive At-Home Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) in the Treatment of Peri-Implant Mucositis
The study aims to establish a validated protocol enabling an alternative approach for bacterial biofilm control through the application of a novel at-home photodynamic/antibacterial blue light therapy in addition to non-surgical professional treatment (NST) for peri-implant mucositis. The primary outcomes will include reductions in plaque and bleeding scores, decreases in …
Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy Following Palliative Radiotherapy in Treating Patients With Inoperable Malignant Central Airway Obstruction
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of interstitial photodynamic therapy following palliative radiotherapy and how well it works in treating patients with inoperable malignant central airway obstruction. Patients who have advanced stage cancer tumors in the lung can often have the breathing passages to the lung partially or …
Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Photodynamic Therapy(PDT) With Chlorin-e6 in Treating Moderate to Severe Acne
This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of a photodynamic therapy(PDT) based on a new photosensitizer, Chlorin-e6, in the treatment of moderate to severe acne. The hypothesis is that the therapy has good efficacy, safety and tolerability.
