About this study

Official title: Effects of Hyaluronic Acid and Corticosteroid in Post Extraction Wound Healing of Diabetic Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid improves wound healing in diabetic patients after oral extraction.

Read the detailed description

After sample size estimation via Open Epi of 128, randomized clinical trial was performed on the patients from Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department in Madinah Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad. Patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 was subjected as control group, Group 2 was treated post extraction with 0.2 % Hyaluronic acid (Gengigel Gingival Gel 20ml, Ricerfarma, Milan, Italy) and Group 3 was treated with single dose Hy-Cortisone Injection 250 mg (Generic name: Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate, Cirin Pharmaceuticals Pakistan) intramuscularly after extraction. Wound healing was assessed through Landry Healing Index. One-way ANOVA test was applied for comparative analysis and Post Hoc Tuckey's test was applied for pairwise comparisons between the groups

Study groups in NCT06637384
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control Group 1No interventionThe sockets untreated with hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid injection were designated as control group 1 where wound healing took place naturally via clot formation.
Group 2Active comparatorPatients treated with 0.2 % Hyaluronic acid (Gengigel Gingival Gel 20ml, Ricerfarma, Milan, Italy) applied in extraction socket.
Receives: Drug: Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Group 3Active comparatorThe extraction socket of these patients were treated with a single dose of Hy-Cortisone Injection 250 mg (Generic name: Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate, Cirin Pharmaceuticals, Pakistan).
Receives: Drug: Corticosteroid Injection

What is being measured

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

  1. Wound healing

    The wound healing after follow was assessed via Landry Healing Index. This index had five grades very poor (1), poor (2), good (3), very good (4) and excellent (5). Each grade further had five parameters that included tissue color, response to palpation, granulation tissue, incision margin and suppuration.

    Tissue color was further categorized into \>50% of red gingiva for grade 1 and 2. For grade 3 tissue color was specified as 25-50% of red gingiva. Less than 25% for grade 4 and all pink tissues for grade 5.Response to palpation was assessed as yes for grade 1 and 2, and no for the remaining three grades. The presence of granulation tissue was examined as yes for grade 1 and 2, and no for grade 3, 4 and 5. If the Incision margin was not epithelialized with loss of epithelium beyond incision margin it was considered grade 1. Incision margin not epithelialized with connective tissue exposure was marked as grade 2. For grade 3, 4 and 5, the connective tissue exposure was nil.

    Measured: 6 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Corticosteroid Injection in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Wound Healing Delayed, run by Rimsha Rasheed at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Wound healing (time frame: 6 days). 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 15 Oct 2024.
