About this study

Official title: Role of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Solution in Wound Healing in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Delivery

this study will investigate the effectiveness of PRP in wound healing among diabetic patients undergoing elective cesarean sections

Read the detailed description

In this balanced, randomized, and controlled prospective study, 100 pregnant ladies at full term diabetic patients will be admitted to Minia University hospital. The patients will be randomly assigned into two groups. The intervention group will receive PRP at surgery, whereas the control group will receive the usual care.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. changes in wound healing

    REEDA descriptive scale will assess degree of wound healing which formed of 4 points in a categorical score assessing 5 items of healing, redness, edema,ecchymosis,discharge ,approximation of the wound edges. each item is rated on a scale of 0-3 and total score may range between 0-15. lower scores indicating good healing

    Measured: one week post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. morbidly wound healing

    at 4 and 8 weeks post-operatively the wound healing will be completed and will be assessed using VSS,Vancouver scar scale, which detect formation of keloid or hypertrophic scars. it will assess vascularity, scar thickness, pliability and pigmentation

    Measured: 4-8weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing PRP in people with Diabetes, Gestational and Wound Complication, run by Minia University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes in wound healing (time frame: one week post-operatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jul 2018.
