About this study

Official title: Application of PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) to Reduce the Healing Time After Pilonidal Sinus Excision. A Randomized 5-years Prospective Controlled Trial.

The use of plasma rich in growth factors in wound excision pilonidal sinus could improve the healing process of the wound, when compared with the usual technique of daily local healing. The investigators propose the objective of evaluating the efficacy of intra- and postoperative application of plasma rich in growth factors, to reduce healing time and complications, arising from its removal, compared to the standard surgical treatment.

Read the detailed description

prospective randomized control trial, comparing PRGF application vs daily local care(betadine +saline) in sinus pilonidal wound excision. PRGF is extracted from de patient blood and infiltrated in the pilonidal wound every week. this treatment is compared with betadine and saline wound care in terms of wound healing time, pospoperative pain and other complications.

this study try to keeps the advantages of using open technique for pilonidal desease( low recurrence rate and surgical site infections) and improving the disadvantages (high wound healing time and postperative pain with wore quality of life) when it´s compared with direct closure or flap techniques.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sinus pilonidal excision+ PRGF in people with Pilonidal Sinus, run by Hospital Quiron Sagrado Corazon.

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 3 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 19 Mar 2015. 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.

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?

healing time(days) of pilonidal sinus wound excision (time frame: 6 months). 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 19 Mar 2015.
