A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Ganaxolone in Patients With Infantile Spasms
Infantile SpasmsThe study consists of cohorts where participants are randomized, in a 2:1 ratio, to 1 of 2 sequences, A and B. In each cohort, Sequence A, comprised of participants, who will receive ascending doses of ganaxolone and ascending doses of placebo. Sequence B, comprised of participants, who will receive ascending doses of placebo and ascending doses of ganaxolone. The dosing level in each subsequent cohort will be based upon experience gained from previous cohorts.

Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention for Cirrhotic Cramps Reduction: The NICCles Trial
CirrhosisMuscle Cramp1 moreThis clinical trial is evaluating the feasibility of using a non-pharmaceutical treatment to improve the symptoms and severity of muscle cramps in patients with cirrhosis. Eligible participants will be randomized to the treatment arm or control group. The treatment phase of the study will last 28 days. Information about participants will be collected including surveys and assessments throughout the study. Please note that only the participants randomized to experimental intervention group (Household Remedy) will be told what the treatment is during the study period. At the conclusion of the study (time of the final follow-up assessments), all participants will be debriefed on the use of concealment in this study as outlined in the protocol regarding the intervention.
The RELAX Trial: Nonpharmaceutical Intervention for Nocturnal Muscle Cramps
CrampsMuscle CrampThe purpose of the study is to learn about reducing the symptoms and severity of nighttime lower body muscle cramps in patients with and without cirrhosis. Eligible participants will have an initial 7-day practice phase, followed by 28 days of one of two behavioral interventions.
7T Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Skeletal Muscle Biopsy Findings in Statin Associated Adverse...
Muscle CrampAche3 moreOver 40 million Americans take statins to reduce their risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Unfortunately, 10 to 20% stop taking them due to statin-associated muscle symptoms (e.g. pain, aches, weakness, cramps, or stiffness) (1, 2). The pathophysiology of these statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) has remained elusive. Consequently, no objective diagnostic method exists, causing confusion for patient and providers since muscle symptoms can often be multifactorial.

Intradialytic Stretching Exercises on Prevention and Reduction of Leg Muscle Cramps
Muscle CrampRenal replacement therapy is a treatment option for people who have acute or chronic renal failure. A patient with increasing symptoms of renal failure is referred to a dialysis and transplantation center early in the course of progressive kidney disease. Hemodialysis is one of the most widely used dialysis procedures. Muscle cramps are the most common complication experienced by hemodialysis patients that usually develop during and in between hemodialysis therapy. These cramps appear to be the most common reason for the early termination of the hemodialysis session. - Research Question: Is there a difference in leg muscle cramps levels between patients undergoing hemodialysis who received intradialytic stretching exercises compared to those patients who do not receive these exercises? - Hypothesis: Leg muscle cramp levels are less among patients undergoing hemodialysis who receive intradialytic stretching exercises compared to those patients who do not receive such exercises.
7 Tesla MRI Study in Patients With Statin Related Muscle Complaints
Statin-related Muscle PainMuscle Aches3 moreRoughly 5-10% of statin-treated patients report muscle pain, aches, weakness, cramps, stiffness, or "heaviness" - typically occurring symmetrically in the legs. For healthcare providers, the major diagnostic challenge is to unambiguously link these symptoms to statin use, especially since some patients can have normal serum creatine kinase (CK) levels despite demonstrable weakness and muscle biopsy proven statin-induced myopathy . No well accepted, standardized, or Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-endorsed diagnostic method exists for statin-induced muscle injury. This lack of an objective diagnostic methodology blocks vertical advancement of the field. The successful completion of this project will develop in vivo techniques that will provide insight into how statins affect muscle metabolism and help establish a methodology to objectively diagnose muscle injury due to statins. The development of an MRS technique will allow for in-vivo analyses and the data accumulated here will serve as preliminary data for futher extramural funding of studies with much larger sample sizes. Ultimately, this focus of research will lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of patients with statin-related muscle complaints, which is central to obtaining the cardiovascular risk reduction from lipid-lowering drugs.
The Effect of the Massage on Cramp Frequency, Cramp Severity, and Sleep Quality
Muscular CrampsHemodialysisThe aim of this randomized controlled experimental study was to determine the effect of the massage applied to hemodialysis patients with complaint of cramp on the cramp frequency, cramp severity, and sleep quality.
Effectiveness of Intradialytic Exercise on Reduction in Fatigue and Muscle Cramps
Dialysis; ComplicationsAn experimental study to assess the Effectiveness of Intradialytic exercise on reduction in Fatigue and Muscle Cramps and Improvement in Muscle Strength among CKD patients undergoing Maintenance Haemodialysis at dialysis unit of ILBS. Objectives Primary objective: 1.To evaluate the effectiveness of the intradialytic exercise on reduction in fatigue and muscle cramps and improvement in muscle strength among patients undergoing hemodialysis at dialysis unit of ILBS. Secondary objectives: To find out the association of mean fatigue score with demographic & clinical variables of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis after intradialytic exercise. To find out the association of mean muscle cramps score with the demographic & clinical variables of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis after intradialytic exercise. To find out the association of mean muscle strength score with demographic variables & clinical variables of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis after intradialytic exercise.
