Active clinical trials for "Aggression"

Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer in Norwegian men. For optimal treatment, accurate staging of the disease at the time point of diagnosis is important. The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic potential of a combined PET/MR examination for risk assessment and detection of lymph node metastases. The overall aim of the project is to improve the investigators ability to provide individually tailored treatment to prostate cancer patients. The study will include 32 men with high-risk prostate cancer, who are eligible for radical prostatectomy. Informed consent is a requirement for inclusion in the study.

This study will evaluate whether a home-based targeted education and skill training (Aggression Prevention Training or APT) will reduce aggression in persons with dementia (PWD) and pain/pain-related features more than usual care plus supportive telephone calls. Half of the participants will receive APT and half will receive supportive telephone calls.

Neurokinin (NK) -1 antagonist will be administered to study patients in a double-blind placebo trial. Patients receive assessments including Anger Disorder Scale (ADS) and Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) and perform computerized study tasks during MRI before the trial begins. Patients receive either one week of the drug or one week of placebo and perform the same tasks and assessments. Then patients receive another week of the alternate pill, followed by another round of tasks during MRI and assessments.

Forensic patients will undergo 30 rTMS treatments, once per day each business day using a 1Hz frequency at the right dorso-lateral pre frontal cortex, located using modified BEAM F3. Patients will be assessed before and after the study with a battery of assessments and using 2 computer tasks: a ball passing task, and the Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm (PSAP). The investigators will also monitor and record aggressive incidents that take place on the unit.

The treatment of intrabony defects in patients with aggressive periodontitis remains a challenging procedure and novel therapeutic strategies are sought. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using guided tissue regeneration (GTR) with radiation-sterilized allogenic bone grafts (material prepared in the Central Tissue Bank in Warsaw, Poland) versus guided tissue regeneration with xenogenic grafts (Bio-Oss®, Geistlich Biomaterials, Princeton, New Jersey, United States) in the treatment of localized intrabony defects in patients with aggressive periodontitis.

The aim of this study will be to compare the approach of repeated applications of APDT versus surgical therapy for the treatment of residual pockets in generalized agressive periodontitis.

The purpose of this study is to develop and pilot test and non-pharmacological intervention designed to prevent the occurence of aggression in persons with dementia.

This study tests the hypothesis that modifying the media diet of preschool children so that they watch more prosocial programming and less violent programming will result in decreased aggression and increased prosocial behavior.

clinical parameters and IL-17 and Il-18 GCF levels were measured in 25 aggressive periodontitis patients compared to 25 periodontally healthy individuals. It was observed that that Clinical parameters and Il-17 and Il-18 levels are higher before treatment but decreased after treatment which suggests role of these interleukins in pathogenesis of aggressive periodontitis .

The purpose of this study is to identify the incidence rate and characteristics of aggressive behavior perpetrated by patients and visitors in inpatient medical units and to understand the role of missed care events, professional quality of life and self-efficacy in relationship to aggressive events.
