Active clinical trials for "Dissociative Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, primary safety and efficacy of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) in the treatment of retinal detachment, based on the multi-center clinical trial.

This is an investigator-initiated Phase I study of a single dose of an intravitreally-administered dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex™) in subjects with uveal melanomas (UM) and exudative retinal detachments (ERD: build-up of fluid under the retina that causes it to detach) being treated with proton beam radiation (PBI) or plaque radiotherapy. Although PBI is an effective treatment for UM, ERDs may persist after radiation, leading to vision loss. Effective treatments for ERD are currently lacking. We are conducting this study to evaluate whether Ozurdex™ can help resolve ERDs that occur in patients with UM. Ozurdex™ has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat certain ocular conditions such as macular edema, non-infectious uveitis, and diabetic macular edema but it is not approved for use in patients with UM and ERD. This study will determine the safety of the dexamethasone implant and provide preliminary evidence of efficacy in this population.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal aflibercept injection in a population of neovascular AMD patients that have been previously treated with 2.0 mg ranibizumab for persistent PEDs.

This is a pilot, single-center, interventional clinical trial in which subjects will receive 16 Gy of IRay treatment and Lucentis, followed by Lucentis treatment as needed.

This prospective, open-label, single-center, randomized, investigator-sponsored clinical study seeks to investigate: how will pseudophakic patients respond in terms of objective and subjective outcomes, when treated with Dextenza compared to topical prednisolone acetate following gas bubble repair and laser for RD.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral sedation to intravenous sedation with anesthesiology support and monitoring.

The purpose of the study is to compare the safety, intraocular adverse effects and the anatomic and functional outcome with two endotamponade silicone oil after a 3-month in complex inferior retinal re-detachments.

Purpose: to assess the efficacy and safety of double tamponade versus silicone oil tamponade. Design: parallel-group study with balanced [1:1] stratified block randomization. Eligible participants are all adults aged 18 or over with first diagnosed rhegmatogenous total retinal detachment with retinal breaks located both in upper and lower retina. Also investigators include those patients with total retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in which it is impossible to remove epiretinal membranes completely during the surgery (with arbitrary retinal breaks localization). Exclusion criteria are severe concomitant eye pathologies (glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular hole, traumas etc) and eye length more than 27mm. Patients are randomized in two groups (test group and control group). In the test group patients undergo subtotal vitrectomy, epiretinal membrane removal, perfluorodecalin (PFD) tamponade, retinal photocoagulation. After that the surgeon replaces ½ of PFD volume by "conventional" SO (with density less than one of water). The result is vitreous cavity (VC) filled in a half with PFD and in another half - with SO. In the control group patients undergo subtotal vitrectomy, epiretinal membrane removal, PFD tamponade, retinal photocoagulation and PFD-SO exchange, so the result is VC filled with "conventional" or heavy SO, depending on predominant retinal breaks location. 30 days after the surgery in both groups tamponing agents are removed from VC and VC is filled with sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) which dissolves during 1 month. Follow-up is at least 12 months. Along with standard examinations, after SF6 gas dissolution investigators perform spectral optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microperimetry. With OCT investigators measure thickness of retinal inner and outer nuclear layers. With microperimetry investigators determine light sensitivity in 12° and 4° zones from the fixation point. Outcome measures: reattachment rate, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), thicknesses of inner and outer nuclear layers according to the OCT, light sensitivity according to microperimetry, the rate of cataract formation in phakic eyes and the rate of tamponing agents emulsification. For final analysis each group will include 145 participants. OCT, microperimetry data and visual acuity will be compared between the groups using Student's t-test; proportions will be compared using exact Fisher's test.

Evaluating the effects in functional status after three weeks of cognitive - and behavioural rehabilitation on patients with gait disorder. The patients are followed up as after 1 and 12 months to study if any improvement is still present. The patients are being recruited from neurological units. The intervention is explanation of symptoms, positive reinforcement of normal behaviour and absence reinforcement of dysfunctional behaviour. In addition the study aims at describing typical gait patterns at patients with gait disorder by using biomechanical measurements (EKG).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether adults with disoociative (psychogenic non-epileptic) seizures receiving cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) show a greater reduction in seizures and health service use and greater improvement in employment status and overall psychosocial functioning than patients who receive standard care.
