Active clinical trials for "Muscle Weakness"

Experimental study that has how to compare the efficacy between conventional rehabilitation, transcutaneous electrostimulation or early mobilization to reduce the time needed to reverse the muscle weakness evaluated by the muscle strength scale of the MRC in patients with a clinical diagnosis of intensive care unit acquired weakness in the (ICUAW).The ambit of realization is a medical-surgical ICU of a general acute hospital (26 beds). A randomized controlled, uni-centric design was used. The interventions are divided into three groups namely; group 1 (control group) receiving standard or usual rehabilitation (GR-STD); group 2 receives transcutaneous electrostimulation (GR-TEE) and group 3 that consists of an early mobilization protocol (GR-EM). The main outcome variable of the study is the time, in days and sessions of treatment, to reverse the ICUAW.

This physiotherapist-guided group training programme should be performed in both the supine and the sitting positions; it is investigated, which is better and more cost-effective in patient motivation.

The RAISE study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to confirm the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of zilucoplan in subjects with generalized Myasthenia Gravis. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive daily SC doses of 0.3 mg/kg zilucoplan or placebo for 12 weeks.

Postoperative pulmonary complications after thoracotomy cause morbidity and mortality. Although the causes of postoperative pulmonary complication are multifactorial, respiratory muscle dysfunction is a contributing factor to the development of postoperative pulmonary complication. This phenomenon has been explained by changes in respiratory muscle mechanics and operative function. Exercise interventions following lung resection have been shown to be associated with benefits on functional capacity, quality of life, shoulder pain, and shoulder function. Following thoracotomy, postoperative pulmonary complications are a significant cause of morbidity and cause significant increase in health care costs, intensive care and hospital stay, and patient discomfort. Conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program applied after thoracotomy reduces hospital stay and incidence of atelectasis. Thoracotomy may also result in long-term limitation of shoulder function and range of motion, reduced muscle strength, chronic pain, and reduced health-related quality of life. Physiotherapy program; It provides some benefits such as reduction of pain, improvement of shoulder function and physical components of quality of life. Based on these findings; It is recommended that physiotherapists provide a postoperative exercise program aimed at reducing shoulder dysfunction and pain, including progressive shoulder and rib cage exercises and a home program after discharge. In recent years, the popularity of Tai Chi, Qigong and yoga, also known as body-mind exercises in the treatment of chronic diseases, has increased.

XLH rickets is a rare disease with muscle weakness. Fat parameters such as IMAT and intraMAT could be increased in this disease. IMAT and intraMAT will be calculated on MRI for 11 XLH children versus 20 typically developing children. The investigator will compare the percentage of IMAT in the XLH group versus control group and the difference concerning the intraMAT between the two groups.

The investigators aim to better describe the immune profile in myasthenia gravis (MG), including lymphocyte subset, cytokine and complement profiles; how they differ between patients of different severity, at times of disease exacerbation, and with different immunosuppressive treatments. The investigators hope to build a clearer picture of how different immune measures vary in MG, contributing to the understanding of the patho[physiology of the disease, and working towards a biomarker that might help clinicians optimise an individual's treatment. the investigators aim to take into account the heterogeneity of MG by taking into account age of onset of MG (early vs late onset) and focussing on acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR) positive, non-thymomatous MG aged 18-80.

This study is aimed at assessing the efficacy of Apraclonidine eye drops in the treatment of ptosis secondary to myasthenia gravis.

Fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal is one of the most common injuries in ankle trauma. There are many conservative treatment protocols for fifth metatarsal base fractures which have up to 99% success. Short leg cast and walking boot are conservative treatment methods that aim to prevent weight-bearing. There are many different conservative treatment methods that allow weight-bearing such as an elastic bandage. There was no significant difference between cast and symptomatic treatment in the previous studies. Muscle atrophy developing after immobilization with cast may adversely affect the daily activities of the patient in the first few months. However, there was no study comparing the effect of these two treatment methods on ankle muscle strength. In this study, the investigators compared the strength of the ınjured and healthy ankle muscle when symptomatic and cast treatment methods are applied to patients with tuberosity fractures of proximal fifty metatars. In addition, patients' functional, clinic and radiological outcomes were also compared.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of M281 administered to participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who have an insufficient clinical response to ongoing standard of care therapy.

The purpose of this 12-week, interventional study is to determine the effects of oral supplementation with Indus810 (dietary supplement with active ingredient Fenugreek) on body composition, muscular performance, and training adaptations
