Effectiveness of Two Techniques in Injection Site Spotting for Botulinum Toxin Injections: Echography...
StrokeBotulinum toxin injections are an effective treatment of limb spasticity after stroke. Different tracking techniques are used to locate a proper injection spot. Palpatory technique is barely effective and induces a high risk of error. Localization by electro stimulation is frequently used in adults, but often requires multiple painful repositioning of the needle. Ultrasound tracking is sometimes used in children but not much in adults. The advantages of ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections are a painless localization and greater injection accuracy. Safety is therefore enhanced since intravascular injection is easily avoided. The few existing publications on the subject are essentially case reports. Few studies have focused on comparing different injection techniques and so far, no well-conducted study has highlighted superior efficiency of ultrasound-guided injections.

Fibroid UterusLeiomyoma3 moreThe objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy effects of two doses of asoprisnil (10 mg and 25 mg) compared with placebo when administered daily for 6 months to premenopausal subjects with symptomatic uterine leiomyomata.
Treatment of Unfavorable Bleeding Patterns in Contraceptive Implant Users
BleedingImplants1 moreThe etonogestrel (ENG) subdermal contraceptive implant (ENG implant) is a highly effective method of preventing pregnancy, but it has bleeding side effects that make it unappealing for many women. The only study to demonstrate a sustained reduction in bleeding lasting for two months was the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) tamoxifen in users of the levonogestrel (LNG) contraceptive implant. Based on the investigators encouraging preliminary data of tamoxifen and ENG implant users, the investigators plan to perform additional studies on the impact of tamoxifen on the breakthrough bleeding experience by ENG implant users.

Prevention of Menstrual Migraines: Using Frovatriptan or Placebo During Hormone Free Intervals
MigrainesBleeding1 moreThis study will examine the combined effects of a continuous oral contraceptive (OC) regimen with supplemental frovatriptan therapy on headache severity and occurrence in subjects with documented Menstrually Associated Migraines (MAM). The subjects enrolling in the study will have cyclic menses either due to spontaneous ovulation or use of cyclic hormonal contraception (pill, patch, or ring). Enrolled subjects will start a continuous OC regimen following two baseline menstrual cycles. If breakthrough bleeding/spotting (BTB/BTS) occurs, the subject will institute a 4-day hormone-free interval (HFI). In an attempt to prevent/lessen the severity of headache during the HFI, subjects will be randomized to prophylactic administration of a triptan or placebo during this period. If no BTB/BTS occurs after 80 days of continuous pills, the subject will institute a 4-day HFI during which they will be randomized into triptan or placebo groups. The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of continuous oral contraceptive pills and frovatriptan on headaches that occur around the time of your period. Many woman take continuous oral contraceptive pills (OC) and when OCs are stopped they may get headaches. This study will look if taking frovatriptan around the time of the period will affect the headache, and how it will be affected. Frovatriptan is an FDA approved drug for migraine headaches. This study is a prospective pilot trial.The study will last approximately 35-39 weeks.
