Active clinical trials for "Psychomotor Agitation"

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological movement disorder characterized by uncomfortable and uncontrollable sensations, usually in the legs, that increase at rest, and an urge to move the legs or other affected extremities. The exact cause of RLS is unknown, but there are idiopathic and secondary forms of RLS associated with various medical conditions such as anemia, pregnancy, uremia, neuropathies, rheumatoid arthritis, parkinson's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia, and neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. NMO, once considered a variant of multiple sclerosis, is now recognized as a separate disease entity. In 2004, the water channel protein-specific antibody called aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was found to cause NMO, leading to the identification of NMO as a separate disease. When initially described, the disease was thought to show only necrotic and demyelinating lesions in the optic nerve and spinal cord. It was therefore thought that NMO would preferentially only attack the optic nerves and spinal cord, not the brain. However, over the years, evidence from various studies has proven that various parts of the brain are also affected during the course of the disease. In addition, some patients showing features of the disease were found to be seronegative for anti-AQP4 antibodies. These findings necessitated the need to introduce a new term "neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD)" to describe all the features of the disease. Although the feeling of restlessness in the legs is frequently reported as a sensory symptom by people with NMOSD, there are limited publications to investigate the relationship between RLS and NMOSD. The primary aim of the study is to determine the frequency and severity of RLS in people with NMOSD. The second aim of the study is to compare the presence and severity of RLS, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness level, quality of life, fatigue and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) results in people with NMOSD. The third aim of the study is to compare the cognitive functions of people with RLS positive and negative NMOSD. People with NMOSD who came to Dokuz Eylul University Medical Faculty Hospital Neurology Department MS Polyclinic for their routine check-ups, who volunteered to participate, will be included in the study.

This is a single-arm pilot study to examine the impact of BXCL501 (sublingual film formulation of dexmedetomidine) administration on reducing the severity of undifferentiated acute agitation in patients presenting to the emergency department with underlying bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. This study is designed to evaluate BXCL501 for its FDA-approved indication -- treatment of agitation associated with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia -- applied in the emergency department setting.

Perioperatively, patients experience an unnecessarily high level of side effects associated with their treatment. These side effects include nausea, severe pain, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, many patients develop postoperative delirium (POD) and neurocognitive dysfunctions, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. However, physicians, nurses and their institutions do not receive structured feedback regarding these aspects of each patient's well-being. They may therefore be unable to engage in the essential cause-and-effect learning necessary to evaluate and consecutively reduce such side effects. Effective guidelines conform prevention is the proven key to shielding our patients from adverse Outcomes. The Safe Brain Initiative's high-quality routine data-for-action is a sword and accelerator for moving towards patient-centred, precision care. Thus, establishing a foundation for value-based and patient-centred healthcare development. However, a turnkey real-world solution is challenging to develop and implement and requires substantial resources. As a result, such solutions are usually beyond the scope of a single institution. The SBI platform provides high-quality, real-world data to bridge this gap. It allows monitoring and in-depth analysis of cause and effect in the day-to-day routine of individuals, departments, and institutions. The SBI's approach is continuously improved and updated. An organization called the SBI Global Society oversees the quality and precision of science through experts in the field. At SBI Hospitals and Flagship centres, Masterclasses are conducted and can be attended alongside clinical immersions. SBI Solutions manages, develops, and provides technical and service support for the Safe Brain Initiative. Its service guarantees the professional and GDPR conform management of data handling and storage as well as the user-friendly functionality of the SBI-Dashboard solutions.

This study aims to measure the effectiveness of vitamins C and E on relieving RLS symptoms in end stage renal disease patients on HD

The goal of the present study is to provide novel data to evaluate brain iron concentration as a mediator of the association between iron supplementation treatment and improvement in symptoms of ADHD and RLS in children, including PLMS. Twelve participants between the ages of 5 and 18 years will be recruited via Kennedy Krieger Institute's Sleep Disorders Clinic. Eligible participants will be asked to complete, at baseline (pre-iron supplementation treatment) and again at follow-up (post-treatment): 1) a 7 Tesla MRI scan, 2) five consecutive nights of RestEaZe™ monitoring, 3) caregiver-reported (or patient-reported if over the age of 10 years) Cambridge-Hopkins Restless Leg Syndrome questionnaire(CH-RLSq13), and 4) caregiver-reported ADHD Rating Scale-5. The treatment interval will be 3 months.

The aim of this study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine versus Magnesium for reducing emergence agitation after adenotonsillectomy in children. Secondary outcome is to reduce child needs for analgesics and to reduce their dose.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the relationship between perioperative electroencephalogram and emergence agitation in the nasal surgery. Previous studies showed that low frequency band wave activity increased during emergence delirium in pediatric patients. It is still not enough to explain the relationship between emergence agitation and electroencephalogram in adults. Researchers will demonstrate the relationship between parameters related electroencephalogram and emergence agitation in adults undergoing nasal surgery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of dronabinol in US Veterans with agitation related to moderate to severe dementia. The main goals of the study are: To evaluate the efficacy of dronabinol for the treatment of agitation in moderate to severe dementia compared to placebo To evaluate the safety of dronabinol in the treatment of agitation in moderate to severe dementia compared to placebo Fifty (50) subjects will be given either dronabinol or placebo for 8 weeks. All subjects will then undergo a "washout" phase for 3 weeks, followed by the crossover intervention (i.e. subjects who received placebo during the first phase will receive dronabinol during the second phase, and vice versa). Thus, all participants will be taking dronabinol at some point during the study. During the study, subjects will undergo evaluations for: Agitation Cognitive changes Physical changes (i.e. labs, ekg, physical exam)

This is an open label, short placebo-controlled trial in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) patients inadequately treated with standard therapy. Investigators hypothesize that the study drug, sublingual apomorphine (Kynmobi), may improve RLS breakthrough symptoms. This study is designed to determine if sublingual apomorphine improves breakthrough symptoms in RLS patients, in addition to subjective responses.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of DMTS on frequency and severity of agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type, compared with placebo.
