Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of tablet treatment, circadian and combined circadian and ultradian subcutaneous hydrocortisone infusion on steroid metabolism and tissue responses to therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of alpha-blocker monotherapy and alpha-blocker + 5-alpha reductase inhibitor combination therapy in benign prostate hyperplasia patients, and suggest guidelines of the combination therapy.

This is a prospective single centre Study designed to assess by OCT the effect of NUMEN cobalt-chromium balloon-expandable stent in inducing neointimal hyperplasia in de novo native coronary lesions of patients with Stable Angina Pectoris or ACS (except STEMI). A total of 60 consecutive patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients with de novo native coronary artery lesions >10mm and <24mm in length and >2.50mm to <3.50mm in diameter by QCA estimate who meet all eligibility criteria will be enrolled and undergone stent implantation. After stent deployment an OCT imaging will be performed within the treated segment. Patients will be followed at 30 days, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure, with all patients having repeat angiography and OCT at 6 months. It is anticipated that the total length of the study will be 18 months: 6 months to complete patient enrolment and 12 months for follow-up.

This is a prospective, comparative, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety and quality of life within patients with acute urinary retention managed by the intermittent catheterization compared or indwelling Foley catheter.

The objective of the BIOFLEX-COF trial is to investigate differences in formation of intimal hyperplasia at one and two years after implantation of nitinol-stents with high vs. low COF in de-novo femoropopliteal occlusive lesions in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. The BIOFLEX-COF trial is a prospective, randomized controlled trial. 80 subjects will be enrolled and randomly assigned to either a high COF group (LifeStent Vascular Stent) or low COF group (Pulsar).

In this proposal, the investigators plan to conduct a clinical trial to validate the efficacy and safety of microspheres (T-ACE Beads).

in the last decade, lots of attemps have been done to identify new technologies able to reply the efficacy of gold standard technique for treating BPH, but with a better safety profile. The introduction of laser techniques allowed to reduce complication rates. Among these, considerable importance had Holep and PVP. Aquablation is a recent technique for LUTS treatment. It is minimally invasive, robot-assisted and ultrasound-guided to ablate the prostate in targeted way and in "heat-free" way. It works with high pression water jet. However, in literature informations about disobstructive capacity of minimally invasive techniques, evaluated with invasive urodynamic tests, are low. The enrolled subjects will undergo surgical treatment with one of the techniques under study: Aquablation, HoLEP or PVP. Outpatient visits will be performed at 1, 3 and 6 months after the surgical treatment. During the sixth month visit an invasive urodynamic examination will be performed

The purpose of this study is to evaluate improvement of symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) for prostate artery embolization (PAE) with microspheres (Embozene™, 400µm) compared to conventional Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).

In this study two questions will be answered: can mindfulness meditation help cell-changed on the cervix to disappear? can mindfulness meditation lower the psychological distress when women have abnormal cervical cancer screening results?

This study is for individuals electing to have GreenLight Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP) to treat symptoms from an enlarged prostate gland. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the medication dutasteride as compared to placebo (an inactive substance) for improving surgical and long-term outcomes of PVP. Dutasteride is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of symptoms from an enlarged prostate gland. The use of dutasteride to improve the outcomes of PVP is investigational. The study will last for approximately 15 months and will involve 6 visits.
