Effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises During Pregnancy

Restless Legs Syndrome

Participants were allocated into three groups; the control group, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) group and relaxation music (RM) group. The PMR and RM programs were explained toall participants, and the first program was tested under the supervision of the researcher. PMR and RM group participants performed the program daily throughout 4 weeks. Severity of RLS with the International Restless Leg Syndrome Scale (IRLSS) and sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were assessed at baseline, 2 and 4 weeks for all the groups.

Study of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Treatment for Agitation and Aggression in Dementia

DementiaAggression1 more

Agitation/aggression is one of the most common and serious behavioral complications of dementia. If the behavior is refractory to standard care (behavior approaches and off label use of psychotropic medications), other evidence based treatment options are not currently available. Retrospective reviews and preliminary studies have indicated Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) may be a safe, effective intervention in this patient population. This study will measure the impact of open-label ECT on symptoms of agitation, aggression, cognition, mood and psychosis for patients referred for ECT who accept this intervention vs. those patients referred for ECT but decline this intervention (i.e. standard care controls). It will also assess adverse events, activities of daily living and caregiver burden during study participation. The hypothesis is that subjects with dementia related aggression/agitation who receive ECT will show significantly greater reductions in these behaviors than subjects who do not consent for ECT and continue with standard care. Pine Rest is partnering with McLean Hospital (Massachusetts) to answer this question. To our knowledge, this is the first prospective study to examine whether patients receiving ECT or standard care differ in reduction of aggression and agitation symptom severity and changes in cognition pre- and post- treatment.

Medical Monitoring for Agitated Patients Pilot RCT - Medical Monitoring

Acute Agitation

The Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) is an under researched area of clinical practice, largely in the management of acutely agitated and violent patients. The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to assess the benefit of medically monitoring patients that present with extreme agitation and/or violent behaviour to PES. Placing them in physical restraints and immediately administering chemical restraint, will enable medical monitoring of these potentially medically unstable patients. Investigators believe that this practice will provide safer management of patients, reduce risk to staff and other patients, reduce risk of undiagnosed medical conditions that underly the agitation, and increase clinical management and quality of care. Patients that come into the Emergency Department that are agitated and violent, where verbal-deescalation will not suffice, will be randomly treated with either immediate placement in seclusion (current practice) or be placed in physical restraints and given chemical restraint (as outlined in the BETA project guidelines). The same time interval assessments will be performed on both groups of patients including; medical monitoring and agitation scale assessment. Data will also be collected on number of violent episodes, code whites, required increase in the use of physical restraints, length of intervention, and more. This assessment will enable a comparison between the current practice and the proposed practice to establish evidence based clinical guidelines for the management of acute agitation in PES, where de-escalation techniques are ineffective and the lack of medical monitoring is harmful to the patient and can negatively effect their outcome. In order to best assess the importance of medical monitoring for such patients, a pilot study must be performed to assess the feasibility of such a phase III RCT study.

The Occurrence of the ApoE4 Allele in Agitated In-Patients With Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's DiseaseAgitation

The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine if a specific genetic allele is involved with the development of agitation in patients with late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The study will compare the results of genetic testing between two groups: individuals with late-onset AD who show signs of agitation and individuals with late-onset AD who do not show signs of agitation.

Non-interventional Study (NIS) in Patients With Restless Legs Syndrome in Daily Practise

Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome

This non-interventional observational study is designed to gain data for Neupro® in restless legs syndrome (RLS) under real life conditions in line with the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) related to effectiveness, tolerability and switching practice from other dopaminergic drugs as well as titration schemes.

Non-interventional Observational Study on the Influence of Pramipexole on Sensory Symptoms of Restless...

Restless Legs Syndrome

The main goal of this open-label, prospective, non-controlled, non-interventional post marketing surveillance study is to evaluate how pramipexole treatment works when applied in actual practice. In actual practice patients who would have been excluded in the clinical registration studies of pramipexole in moderate to severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (i.e. those with certain disease histories, co-morbidities and/or demographic characteristics) will also be treated with pramipexole. Thus, during this post marketing surveillance study additional information on the efficacy and safety of pramipexole in those patients will be obtained. The objectives of this post marketing surveillance study are: To investigate the influence of Sifrol® (pramipexole) treatment on unpleasant sensory symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome as measured with the short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. To assess if improvement of sensory symptoms correlates with overall Restless Legs Syndrome severity (International Restless Legs Syndrome Scale for Severity) and with secondary symptoms like sleeping problems and daytime tiredness (items 1 & 6 from Restless Legs Syndrome-6). To evaluate if the treatment effect of Sifrol on overall Restless Legs Syndrome severity (International Restless Legs Syndrome Scale for Severity) differs between patients with high pain scores and patients with lower pain scores. To compare General Practitioner and neurologist sites patient populations in terms of demographics, Restless Legs Syndrome severity at Visit 1 and treatment outcomes at Visit 3. To evaluate the development of behavioural changes under pramipexole treatment.
