Comparison of intraoperative handling and wound healing between (NEOSORB® plus) and coated polyglactin 910 suture (NEOSORB®): a prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel on wound healing after tooth extraction. Materials and Methods A single blind, randomized controlled trial was performed recruiting 32 participants who underwent dental extractions. Patients were randomly allocated for CHX group or placebo group. The primary outcomes were wound closure measured with calipers and healings were assessed by Landry et al index after 7 days of topical application of allocated gels on extraction sites. Results The wound closures were greater in CHX group compared with placebo group and healing scores were correlated with the use of CHX gel (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion In a population of healthy nonsmoker adults, application of 0.2% CHX gel twice a day for 7 days after tooth extraction has a beneficial effect on wound healing.

True Experiment

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the use of polyglactin 910 (vicryrapide) and chromic catgut to perineal pain and healing wounds on postpartum. Method: This research is true experiment with a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and single-blind. The number of respondents pad this study of 40 respondents were divided into 20 respondents to the intervention group (vicrylrapide) and 20 respondents for the control group (chromic catgut). Data analysis using independent t-test. Results: Statistical test results using independent t-test for pain showed p = 0.035 <0.05 and for wound healing showed p = 0.000 <0.05 of a second can mean the results are there differences in the use of threads polyglactin 910 (vicrylrapide) and chromic catgut thread to perineal pain and healing wounds in the mother postpartum perineum. Conclusion: The use rapidevicryl thread to repair perineal perineum or stitches can reduce perineal pain and healing wounds better than the use of the chromic catgut thread. Keywords: chromic catgut, pain, polyglactin 910, rapide vicryl, wound healing of the perineum. Abstrak Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui perbandingan penggunaan polyglactin 910 (vicry rapide) dan chromic catgut terhadap nyeri dan penyembuhan luka perineum pada postpartum. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian true experiment dengan randomized controlled trial (RCT) dansingle blind. Jumlah responden pada penelitian ini sebanyak 40 responden yang di bagi menjadi 20 responden untuk kelompok intervensi (vicryl rapide) dan 20 responden untuk kelompok kontrol (chromic catgut ). Analisis data menggunakan independent t-test. Hasil: Uji statistik menggunakan independent t-test untuk nyeri didapatkan hasil p=0,035<0,05 dan untuk penyembuhan luka didapatkan hasil p=0,000<0,05 dari kedua hasil tersebut dapat diartikan ada perbedaan penggunaan benang polyglactin 910 (vicryl rapide) dan benang chromic catgutterhadapnyeri perineum dan penyembuhan luka perineum pada ibu postpartum. Kesimpulan: Penggunaan benang vicryl rapide untuk perbaikan perineum atau penjahitan luka perineum dapat mengurangi nyeri perineum dan penyembuhan luka yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan penggunaan pada benang chromic catgut. Kata kunci: chromic catgut, nyeri, penyembuhan luka perineum, polyglactin 910, vicryl rapide.

Chronic neck myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common disorder seen in clinics. There is no gold standard method to treat myofascial pain. We investigated the effects of acupuncture on patients with chronic neck MPS by a single-blind randomized controlled trial. A total of 35 patients were randomly allocated to an acupuncture group (AG) or a sham acupuncture group (SG). Each subject received acupuncture treatment twice per week for three consecutive weeks. The primary outcome measure was quality of life as assessed with Short Form-36, and secondary outcome measures were neck range of motion (ROM), motion-related pain, and Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), as determined by a blinded investigator. The clinical assessments were made before treatment (BT) and after six acupuncture treatments (AT), as well as four weeks (F1) and 12 weeks (F2) after the end of the treatment. A total of 34 patients completed the trial. The results indicated that there is no significant difference in the ROM, motion-related pain, and SF-MPQ scores between AG and SG at AT, F1 and F2 (all p > 0.05). However, AG has greater improvement in physical functioning and role emotional of Short Form-36 quality of life at F2. The results indicate that acupuncture may be used to improve the quality of life in patients with chronic neck MPS.
