Active clinical trials for "Vitamin D Deficiency"

To compare the efficacy of Vitamin D3 B.O.N. Intramuscular Injection within 12 weeks with that of placebo in adults with Vitamin D Deficiency.

A Prospective, Single-centre, Open-label Study to Confirm the Efficacy and Safety of Vitamin D3 B.O.N. Intramuscular Injection in adults with Vitamin D Deficiency

To characterize the effect of three different doses of vitamin D3 supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) changes in epilepsy patients receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) versus patients receiving non enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (non-EIAEDs), and to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for hypovitaminosis D among Thai patients with epilepsy.

To test the efficacy of different vitamin D delivery methods on serum 25(OH)D. Participants randomly assigned to one of seven groups - three placebo groups and 4 active supplement groups receiving 100,000IU vitamin D3

The purpose of this study is to determine whether supplementation with oral vitamin D (cholecalciferol) improves metabolic parameters in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.

In cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies, vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased mortality, cardiovascular events including sudden cardiac death and stroke, diabetes, hypertension and impaired function of the immune and musculoskeletal system. The action of vitamin D on the cardiovascular system regulates cardiac function, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle, and, the renin-angiotensin system. Treatment with sufficiently high doses of vitamin D may represent a promising and inexpensive intervention option. To date, there are few data on the effect of cholecalciferol treatment in patients with chronic heart failure. The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether oral vitamin D supplementation improves chronic heart failure (measured with the surrogate parameter of NT-proBNP levels at month 0 and 6).

This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded interventional study that will investigate the effect of a vitamin D supplement on HbA1c in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and vitamin D deficiency. The goal is to investigate whether correcting vitamin D deficiency will alter the HbA1c level in patients with type 2 DM and lower than normal vitamin D level. My hypothesis is that correcting vitamin D deficiency decreases HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 DM and vitamin D deficiency.

A growing body of evidence suggests that robust postoperative immune function is associated with a lower risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). At the same time, vitamin D is increasingly recognized as a key regulator of the innate and adaptive immune systems. The investigators elected to conduct the current study in patients who will undergo colorectal surgery since these patients are historically at higher risk of developing SSIs and therefore would be ideal for future investigations.

African-Americans have higher rates of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, as well as vitamin D deficiency. Multiple observational studies have demonstrated an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency in African Americans with type 2 diabetes and correlation between cardiovascular disease and vitamin D levels; however, there is a lack of interventional trials exploring this connection. The objective of this proposal is to address the hypothesis that treatment of vitamin D deficiency in African Americans with type 2 diabetes will improve subclinical markers of cardiovascular disease.

Calcium (Ca2+) and vitamin D (VitD) play an important role in child health. Aims. The investigators evaluated the daily intake of Ca2+ and VitD in healthy children; and the efficacy of Ca2+ and VitD supplementation. Daily Ca2 + and VitD intake was evaluated in consecutive healthy children through a validated questionnaire. Subjects with a daily Ca2 + and VitD intake < 70% of dietary reference intakes (DRIs) were invited to participate in prospective randomized trial with 2 groups of nutritional intervention: group 1, dietary counseling aiming to optimize daily Ca2+ and VitD intake plus administration of a commercially available Ca2 + and VitD supplementation product (Colecalcium®, Humana, Milan, Italy); group 2, dietary counseling alone. At the enrollment (T0) and after 4 months (T1) serum VitD levels were assessed.
