Active clinical trials for "Psychomotor Agitation"

The DISCO-RLS Trial is a randomized controlled trial to determine the safety and efficacy of pharmacologic therapy (ropinirole versus placebo and gabapentin versus placebo) for the treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome in patients with End Stage Renal Disease requiring hemodialysis.

To evaluate, in a pilot fashion, efficacy and tolerability of electrical counter-stimulation using the Scrambler device in alleviating uncomfortable sensations and urge to move in patients with restless legs syndrome/Willis Ekbom Disease (RLS/WED).

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of EA in pediatric patients undergoing minor ENT surgery under Sevoflurane and compare opioid-only based intra-operative analgesia to multi-modal analgesia consisting of opioid and IV acetaminophen or PO acetaminophen regimen using a validated and standardized EA measurement tool, the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. The post operative pain scores will be measured in all patients by post-op recovery staff using FLACC Score/Wong-Baker FACES (patients 24 months up to 7 years of age) or Numeric Pain Score for patients 7 years of age. The pre-operative, surgery, anesthesia and post-operative staff will be all blinded.

To evaluate the safety of brexpiprazole 1 mg or 2 mg after a 14 week treatment regimen for agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type patients who completed in a double-blind trial, and to investigate the efficacy of brexpiprazole.

This is a definitive study to support the safety and efficacy evaluation of BXCL501 for the acute treatment of agitation in bipolar disorder. The BXCL501-302 study is designed to characterize the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BXCL501 (sublingual film formulation of DEX, HCl) in agitation associated with bipolar disorder.

This is an adaptive Phase 1b/2 trial design. It is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study assessing efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of BXCL-501 dosing in adult (65 years and older) males and females with acute agitation associated with dementia. Evaluation of 3 doses are planned.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of mother's recorded voice versus dexmedetomidine injection on postoperative agitation in children undergoing elective surgery.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, optimal dose, long-term follow-up study of monotherapy administration of rotigotine transdermal patch in adolescents with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). This study will assess the long-term safety and tolerability of Rotigotine treatment in adolescents with RLS.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of SPM962 in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) with once-daily repeated doses of 4.5mg and 6.75mg during a 13-week dose-titration and maintenance period. This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 3-armed parallel group comparison study. Efficacy will be determined by investigating the superiority of SPM962 to placebo in terms of the primary efficacy variable, change in International Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLS) total score from baseline to the end of the dose-maintenance period.

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are among the most distressing manifestations of dementia. Pharmacotherapy is frequently used and especially in institutional settings. Current guidelines recommend the use of second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs). Nonetheless, there are concerns regarding both their safety and effectiveness in patients with dementia. Inconclusive evidence support the use of other psychoactive agents such as SSRI antidepressants or cognitive enhancers. In two published studies citalopram was as efficacious as, but better tolerated than perphenazine or risperidone in patients with BPSD. Thus, with proven efficacy and a beneficial safety profile the evaluation of the use of escitalopram for BPSD is warranted.
