Active clinical trials for "Muscle Weakness"

This study was a Randomized clinical trial conducted to determine the Effects of gluteal activation with or without traction straight leg raise technique among patients of sacroiliac joint syndrome so that in future this study will be helpful for other clinician to determine that how much gluteal activation is important in low back pain or sacroiliac joint syndrome, and how it affects our sling system.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Pharmacodynamics (PD), Pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy of efgartigimod coformulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) as compared to efgartigimod IV infused in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The study duration is approximately 12 weeks. After screening, patients will be randomized to receive either efgartigimod infusions or efgartigimod PH20 subcutaneously (SC)

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition that causes muscle weakness. Autoimmune means the body makes antibodies that attack its own cells and tissues. These types of antibodies are also known as autoantibodies. People with generalized myasthenia gravis have a weakness in many muscles. TAK-079 is a medicine to help people with generalized myasthenia gravis. The main aim of this study is to check if people with generalized myasthenia gravis have side effects from 2 doses of TAK-079. Other aims are to learn if TAK-079 improves their clinical condition and lowers their autoantibody levels. At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. For those who can take part, participants will continue with their standard medicines for this condition during the study. Each participant will have a check-up by the study doctor. Then, the participants will have 1 of 3 treatments: A low dose of TAK-079. A high dose of TAK-079. A placebo. In this study, a placebo looks like TAK-079 but does not have any medicine in it. Participants will not know which treatment they received, nor will their study doctors. This is to help make sure the results are more reliable. For each treatment, participants will receive injections just under the skin, once a week for 8 weeks. The study doctors will check for side effects from the study treatments. The study doctors can stop or delay the injections in each participant if needed. Then, the study doctors will continue to check for side effects for up to 24 weeks after treatment. They will also check the clinical condition of the participants, including their autoantibody levels.

The hypothesis is that a physical therapy intervention for foot and ankle of diabetic neuropathic individuals would affect positively the way they walk, lowering the harmful forces that these segments receive, that are associated mainly with lower range of movement, muscle weakness and loss of sensation. The participants will be randomly assigned into control group (regular treatment prescribed by their medical group) or into treatment group, that will receive 12 weeks of physical therapy intervention, twice a week, for 45 minutes each session. This will aim for increasing foot and ankle range of movement, muscle strength and improving sensory inputs.

Immunomodulation is effective in treating patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), but prior studies have not adequately defined if plasma exchange (PLEX) in superior to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. This study aimed to determine if PLEX was superior to IVIG in the treatment of patients with myasthenia gravis. Patients with MG requiring immunomodulation are randomized to IVIG or PLEX and treated with a full course of immunomodulation. The quantitative myasthenia gravis score (QMGS) will be evaluated as the primary efficacy parameter at day 14 to determine if PLEX is superior to IVIG.

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the L300 Plus as a neuroprosthesis device for walking in patients following an UMN injury or disease. The clinical study is proposed to determine the anticipated adverse event rate and treatment outcomes at the conclusion of the study.

This is a study to find out whether an exercise program during dialysis or a drug called nandrolone decanoate can increase muscle size and strenght in patients on dialysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of coenzyme Q10 administration in improving mitochondrial function as measured by anaerobic threshold in older athletes on a stable dose of statin medication.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety for steroid non-resistant MG patients in a double blind, placebo controlled study.

Muscle wasting is a common finding in critically ill patients and is associated with adverse outcomes. A good strategy for avoiding or decreasing muscle loss is adding adequate quantities of protein to the nutritional therapy administered during the acute phase of the disease during the ICU stay. The aim of this prospective study is to compare the effect of different levels of protein enteral feeding on Rectus Femoris Muscle mass in mechanically ventilated patients.
