Active clinical trials for "Colic"

Outpatients treatment with NSAI in renal colics has not been well investigated and there is no clear recommendations regarding this matter. The aim of this study is to determine if an oral NSAI treatment is beneficial in patients discharged for the emergency departement after the first line treatment of a renal colic investigating the recurrence of pain, the reconsultation rates and the admissions.

Infant colic (CL) is a common disorder that affects approximately 8-33% of newborns during the first months of life. Typically defined as "crying that lasts at least 3 hours a day, and occurs at least 3 days a week over a 3-week period." Osteopathic manual therapy is presented as an effective and safe alternative to CL treatment. The main objective of the study is to quantify possible changes in daily crying hours and hours of sleep, the severity of CL, the frequency of episodes, changes in stool and possible adverse effects. The study hypothesis argues that the application of osteopathic manual therapy in babies with CL produces an improvement in the hours of daily crying, the frequency of episodes, the severity of colic and the hours of sleep. A controlled RCT will be performed where the evaluator and the parents will be blinded with respect to the allocation group for each subject. Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) using a table of random numbers by a person from outside the research. The EG diagnosis treatment using techniques of osteopathic manual therapy, vertebral mobilization, cranial techniques and visceral mobilization, according to the diagnostic criteria of the therapist. The CG has no treatment. A total of 3 procedures were performed, one per week, problems with the chronology in all groups (days 0, 7 and 14 if required). The therapist in charge of performing the operations will be a Physiotherapist and Osteopath with more than 10 years of experience. The evaluations will be carried out by a healthcare professional with more than 10 years of experience. The evaluator will be blinded. Parents blinded with respect to the allocation group of each subject until the end of the study. To analyze the main variable of the study (total hours of excessive crying per day), use the crying diary completed by the parents. The Infantile Colic Severity Questionnaire (ICSQ) will be applied to evaluate the secondary variables (sleep, feces, frequency of episodes and severity of colic).

To investigate the accuracy of fluorescence angiography technique IMA classification and the impact of lymph node mapping technique on the dissection of No. 253 lymph nodes.

This is a double-blind, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in infants with colic with the primary objective to evaluate crying time.

Hospital Scene #1: A 6-year-old arrives in the Emergency Department at McMaster Children's Hospital (MCH) complaining of pain in his lower right side. His Dad explains the pain has been going on for a few hours and that Advil and Tyelnol haven't helped at all. He's anxious and concerned about his son because he never complains about pain - so this must be bad. After he has been seen by the doctor, the appendix appears to be the problem and the boy needs to have it removed. Dad wants his son's pain to go away but is worried because he once got a high dose of a medication and had some unwanted side effects. Hospital Scene #2: A 14-year-old girl has been experiencing migraine headaches for the past months and is awaiting an appointment with a specialist. Today, however, the pain is the worst it's been. Mom has picked her up from school and brought her to MCH not knowing what else to do to help her. The Advil and Tylenol have not improved her pain. She desperately wants the pain to go away but is worried because she read that some pain medicines are used without any studies done to see if they work and if they are safe. (https://www.ottawalife.com/article/most-medications-prescribed-to-children-have-not-been-adequately-studied?c=9). In both cases, these children need medicine to help their pain. The treating doctors want to give them pain medicine that will 1) be safe and 2) make the pain go away. This is what parents and the child/teenager, and the doctors want too. Some pain medicines like opioids are often used to help with pain in children. Unfortunately, opioids can have bad side effects and can, when used incorrectly or for a long time, be addictive and even dangerous. A better option would be a non-opioid, like Ketorolac, which also helps pain but is safer and has fewer side effects. The information doctors have about how much Ketorolac to give a child, though, is what has been learned from research in adults. Like with any medication, the smallest amount that a child can take while still getting pain relief is best and safest. Why give more medicine and have a higher risk of getting a side effect, if a lower dose will do the trick? This is what the researchers don't know about Ketorolac and what this study aims to find out. Children 6-17 years old who are reporting bad pain when they are in the Emergency Department or admitted in hospital and who will be getting an intravenous line in their arm will be included in the study. Those who want to participate will understand that the goal of the study is to find out if a smaller amount of medicine improves pain as much as a larger amount. By random chance, like flipping a coin, the child will be placed into a treatment group. The difference between these treatment groups is the amount of Ketorolac they will get. One treatment will be the normal dose that doctors use at MCH, and the other two doses will be smaller. Neither the patient, parent nor doctor will know how much Ketorolac they are getting. Over two hours, the research nurse or assistant will ask the child how much pain they are in. Our research team will also measure how much time it took for the pain to get better, and whether the child had to take any other medicine to help with pain. The research team will also ask families and patients some questions to understand their perceptions of pain control, pain medicines and side effects they know of. This research is important because it may change the way that doctors treat children with pain, not just at MCH but around the world. The results of this study will be shared with doctors through conferences and scientific papers. It's also important that clinicians share information with parents and children so that they can understand more about pain medicines and how these medicines can be used safely with the lowest chance of side effects.

This randomized, open label, dose-response study will be realized at the first line with Bactecal® D Liquid. The objective is to investigate Bactecal® D Liquid in the context of infantile colics. The patients will be randomized into two arms, A and B, in function of the intervention dose. The quality of life of te parents as well as the daily median crying time and the number of daily crying will be assessed.

Interest in the use of probiotics as a potential treatment to reduce crying in babies with colic has increased lately. Recent studies have reported that the gut microbiota in infants with colic is characterized by lower proportions of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria and higher proportions of opportunistic proteobacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes and Klebsiella spp.) in comparison with the control babies. Therefore, based on data in the literature, it is understood that there is evidence of the effectiveness of using probiotics, either alone or in the form of a blend, to alleviate the symptoms of infantile colic.

To compare the frequency of regurgitation and other digestive outcomes between infants who receive an infant formula based on whole goat milk and an infant formula based on cow milk proteins during the transition period from breastfeeding to formula feeding, using predominantly breastfed infants as a reference group.

Although various complementary health approaches have been examined to alleviate colic symptoms, there seems to be a limited number of studies on SPA and massage applications. For this reason, the study was planned to determine the effectiveness of nurses' baby SPA and massage practices in reducing colic symptoms in babies.
