Active clinical trials for "Heart and Blood Diseases"

Migraine attack is an episodic disorder that affects approximately 12% of the population. Previous studies have shown that 41-48% of migraineur have a combination of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Clinical observational studies have been linking medication therapies which include anticoagulation and anti-platelet therapy with the effectiveness in improving migraine symptoms and reducing the frequency of attacks in patients combined with a PFO. However, it has been unclear whether the effectiveness of anticoagulation or anti-platelet therapy outweigh the conventional migraine medication therapy, as a result, we designed a multi-center randomized clinical trial aiming to examine the effectiveness of anticoagulation versus anti-platelet versus migraine medication therapy in migraine patients with PFO and provide a clinical guidance for migraineur.

Hypertension (HTN) is the leading modifiable cause of cardiovascular disease. Rural individuals experience challenges of the rural health divide: geographic distance from providers, social isolation, limited social resources, and high rates of low health literacy. This study evaluates a home-based blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) program that provides longitudinal health education, empathic guidance, monitoring, and adaptable patient-centered coaching to rural individuals. Participants in this study will be randomized to receive (1) HBPM with the intervention; or (2) the control, consisting of HBPM and a smartphone with a general health application (WebMD).

To explore whether the application of intelligent hypertension management system can effectively reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. A total of 320 eligible subjects will be recruited and randomization to two groups. The standard care group (n=160) will receive conventional hypertension treatment with baseline data collected.Wearable blood pressure monitoring device management group (intervention group, n=160) will receive blood pressure monitoring remotely everyday and antihypertension medication treatment. Primary outcome is Net change in systolic blood pressure from baseline to 3 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes include Net change in diastolic blood pressure hypertension control ratio (BP < 140/90 mmHg)

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CC-92480, bortezomib and dexamethasone (480Vd) versus pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (PVd) in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received between 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy and who have had prior lenalidomide exposure.

The aim of this study is to determine if erector spinae injections with bolus infusions with local anesthetic decrease postsurgical pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing pulmonary resection surgery.

This study was a multi-center, randomized, prospective study. The purpose is to clarify that high-dose VP-16+G-CSF has better mobilization efficiency and less toxic and side effects compared with high-dose CTX+G-CSF, and minimize mobilization failure, so as to provide convenient and high-quality mobilization programs for clinical practice and enable more patients to enter the transplantation stage smoothly.

The Investigators will enroll patients who have had a stroke and are experiencing post-stroke pain secondary to their infarct and disruption of the sensory system in a research study to compare the effectiveness of Scrambler Therapy to traditional pharmacologic therapies.

The Super Rehab: Can we Achieve Coronary Artery Disease Regression? (a feasibility study) proposes to test the use of a novel lifestyle intervention (Super Rehab), in addition to standard care, for patients with both coronary artery disease and metabolic syndrome. This is a feasibility study that will test study processes, enable optimisation of the intervention and provide data for power calculations to enable design of pivotal trials of the clinical effectiveness of Super Rehab.

This study proposes that the addition of statins reduces the treatment delays or early discontinuations secondary to cardiotoxicity in patients with Stage I-III HER2 positive breast being treated with anti-HER2 therapy.

This is an exploratory single-center prospective study of 20 subjects with primary basal ganglia ICH who will receive early MIPS in combination with perioperative pioglitazone treatment. Outcomes will be compared to matched subjects with basal ganglia ICH who undergo MIPS alone as part of the ENRICH trial. This study will take approximately two years to complete.
