Active clinical trials for "Aggression"

The primary objective of the present protocol is to evaluate the effectiveness of real HBMT versus placebo on reducing HAB and aggression. The secondary objectives of the present protocol are: Investigate the role of individual difference variables on HAB, interpersonal aggression, and effects of HBMT. Collect vocal recording data to inform the development of algorithms to predict emotional stress from changes in speech.

Open-label, extension study for subjects that completed 810P202 to examine long term safety and tolerability of repeated dosing of SPN-810M as an adjunctive therapy in children with Impulsive Aggression Comorbid with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of twice daily (bid) oral midostaurin in patients with Aggressive Systemic Mastocytosis (ASM) or Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL) with or without an Associated Hematological clonal Non-Mast cell lineage Disease (AHNMD).

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and is characterized by both cognitive and behavioural symptoms ("Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia"; BPSD). To date, there are only modestly effective treatments for BPSD, and these treatments are associated with an increased risk of mortality in elderly dementia patients. We plan to study whether treatment with medication memantine improves BPSD in severe AD patients. Thirty-two AD patients with significant BPSD, including agitation and aggression, will be treated for three months with memantine. Assessments of behavioural symptoms and global clinical outcomes will be completed after one, two and three months of treatment.

Primary objectives: To assess the short-term efficacy of risperidone augmentation for treatment-resistant aggression in children with ADHD. To assess the short-term safety and tolerability of risperidone augmentation in the same group of subjects.

The primary purpose of this thirteen-week, open-label study is to test the hypothesis that quetiapine in combination with Oros methylphenidate will reduce aggressive symptoms in children and adolescents who have shown inadequate response to OROS methylphenidate alone.

entGlycemic control has been found to improve clinical outcomes following Coronary Bypass Surgery. This study tests the hypothesis that obtaining tighter glycemic control(80-120mg/dl) as opposed to more moderate control (120-180mg/dl) will further improve outcomes.

Three hundred consecutive adult patients presenting to the emergency services of the department of psychiatry and who are diagnosed by the treating doctor to be needing tranquillization to control agitated or aggressive behavior will be randomized to receive either Injection Olanzepine I.M. or Injection Haloperidol 10mg + Injection Promethazine 50 mg in this parallel group, block randomized, centrally-randomzed, allocation-concealed, assessor-blinded pragmatic clinical trial. The main outcome measure that the two treatments would be compared on would be the clinical state of the patient 4 hours after intervention, but the rate of tranquillization, degree of sedation, proportions tranquil and / or asleep at 15, 30, 60 and 240 minutes, need for additional medication, use of physical restraints, doctors called back, numbers absconding and adverse effects at each of these time points would also be compared. Compliance with oral medication and adverse effects at the end of 2 weeks would also be compared.

The project aims to describe and compare the outcome of 12 weeks of prospective, randomized treatment with olanzapine, risperidone or aripiprazole on insulin action in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue, abdominal fat mass, total body and fat-free mass, efficacy for symptoms of aggression and non-metabolic adverse events. Children aged 6-18 will be studied, exploring effects of stimulant therapy and age-related differences in vulnerability to treatment-induced adverse metabolic changes. Aims are addressed by measuring glucose and lipid kinetics with stable isotope tracers, body composition with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and standardized assessments of efficacy and adverse events. Relevant data are critically needed to target clinical therapy and basic research, identify medical risks, and guide regulatory decisions in this vulnerable population.

Conduct disorder is a group of psychiatric symptoms that can include clinical characteristics of impulsivity and aggressive behavior. This study will investigate the efficacy a safety of oxcarbazepine in the treatment of adolescents with conduct disorder.
