Clinical Trials Wesley Thayer, MD, PhD is currently running
PEG Fusion Technique
for Peripheral Nerve Injury
This trial tests a new treatment using PEG to help repair completely severed nerves in humans. PEG helps the nerve cells reconnect quickly, speeding up healing and improving recovery. PEG has been used in various animal models to improve outcomes in nerve repair by enabling immediate reconnection of injured nerve cells.

Protopic® Ointment
for Burns
There is currently no standard treatment to prevent burn depth conversion in partial-thickness burns. Conversion into deeper wounds is associated with higher complications and morbidity. The most common theory attributes this depth conversion to the prolonged inflammatory response that occurs after burn injury. Therefore, the investigators propose testing the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus ointment (an immunosuppressive agent) in patients with deep partial-thickness burns.
