Negative pressure therapy and pain after war injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a wound treatment called negative pressure wound therapy (a vacuum device that helps wounds heal) can predict if someone will have long-term pain after a war-related injury. It aims to help doctors better manage pain for people with these injuries.

This study looks at whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to stop severe bleeding) after a serious arm or leg injury is linked to developing long-term pain. If you had such an injury and a tourniquet was used, doctors want to learn more to improve future care and pain management.
This study looks at people who have had serious arm or leg injuries to see how often they get blood clots and how much pain they feel over time. It may help doctors understand and treat these problems better after major limb trauma.
This study tests different ways to manage pain after a leg amputation caused by a combat injury. It aims to find the best method to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study looks at whether a specific method of numbing the leg (regional anesthesia) helps control pain in people with war-related leg injuries. If you qualify, your pain and recovery data will be reviewed to see how well this type of pain relief worked.
This study looks at whether an infection in the area where your limb was removed can predict if you will have ongoing pain there. It aims to help doctors better understand and manage post-amputation pain.
This trial tests a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction to the incision after major leg amputation. It aims to reduce wound complications and help the stump heal better.
