Active clinical trials for "Aggression"

To evaluate the efficacy of pimavanserin compared with placebo in treatment of agitation and aggression after 12 weeks of treatment

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin plus rituximab in relapsed/refractory aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients who are not candidates for intensive high-dose chemotherapy. Specifically, the goal is to demonstrate the superiority of this combination compared with an active comparator arm (investigator's choice of rituximab+bendamustine or rituximab+gemcitabine) using the primary endpoint of overall survival.

Aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is difficult to handle once it relapses or becomes refractory to chemotherapy. Various second or third line chemotherapies, which are called salvage chemotherapy, were developed without promising results. Improvement in efficacy by adding relatively new agent, rituximab, to chemotherapy is now widely accepted in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This study will test the safety and efficacy of adding rituximab to existing salvage chemotherapy, ESHAP (R-ESHAP). Our aim is also to proceed to high-dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after successful R-ESHAP therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief "Surf the Urge" intervention to reduce adolescent and young adult (i.e., 14 to 24 years old) urge-related behaviors. These behaviors will include, but not be limited to, substance use, deliberate self-harm, aggressive behavior, pulling out hair, and loosing control when eating.The intervention will utilize mindfulness skills (i.e., awareness, acceptance, nonjudgment) to assist in reducing these risky behaviors.

The overall goal of this study is to investigate whether the daily administration of multivitamins, minerals and n-3 fatty acids will reduce aggression in long-term psychiatric inpatients and will thereby reduce costs of care.

The study is an randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test whether supplementation of vitamins, minerals and n-3 fatty acids may reduce aggressive behavior in people with intellectual disabilities.

The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial of superiority will be to evaluate the effect of 3 g of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and 100 mg of aspirin daily supplementation over a period of 180 days as adjunct to surgical therapy of residual pockets from patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis. Probing depth, clinical attachment level, gingival index and concentration of microorganisms and cytokines at baseline, 3, and 6 months after the procedure will be evaluated.

This is a randomised controlled trial comparing haloperidol + promethazine versus haloperidol + promethazine + chlorpromazine for agitated patients in the emergency department.

Hypoxia-inducible angiogenic pathway involving hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumour necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α) may regulate the several biological processes related to inflammation. Generalized aggressive periodontitis (G-AgP) is a rare but highly destructive form of inflammatory periodontal disease. The present study aimed to assess the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) HIF-1α, VEGF and TNF-α levels in G-AgP patients. 20 G-AgP and 20 periodontally healthy subjects were enrolled. At baseline, GCF samples were collected and whole mouth clinical periodontal parameters were recorded. G-AgP patients received non-surgical periodontal treatment. Clinical parameters and GCF cytokines were re-measured at 1 and 3 months after treatment. GCF HIF-1α, VEGF and TNF-α levels were analyzed by ELISA. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Midazolam given pre-operatively to patients undergoing abdominal surgery improves the quality of recovery.
