Appl Resch in Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine

Abstract

This Project identifies and evaluates drugs, biologics (products derived from living organisms), medical devices, treatments and diagnostics for post-evacuation restorative, regenerative and rehabilitative care, as well as systems for use by field medics and surgeons for ocular trauma. Research focuses on identifying more effective technologies and protocols to treat ocular injury and visual system dysfunction, as well as laboratory and animal studies for regenerating skin, muscle, nerves, vascular and bone tissues for the care and treatment of traumatic injury. Research involves extensive collaboration with multiple academic institutions to refine treatments for combat wounds through the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM). This Project is coordinated with the Military Departments, Defense Health Agency, and other government organizations to avoid duplication. Research conducted in this Project focuses on Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine and Battlefield Pain Management. All drugs, biological products, and medical devices are refined in accordance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, which govern testing in animals to assess safety, toxicity, and effectiveness and subsequent human subject clinical trials. Promising efforts identified in this project are further matured under PE 0603002A (Medical Advanced Technology) / Project ET5 (Adv Tech Dev in Clinical & Rehabilitative Medicine). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), Fort Detrick, MD.
