Active clinical trials for "Psychomotor Agitation"

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of intramuscular olanzapine for the treatment of acute agitation associated with schizophrenia and bipolar I mania.

Multi-center post-market, observational study to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of the NTX100 TOMAC System for patients with Restless Legs Syndrome.

This is a multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of an oral combination of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) compared to placebo over 12 weeks. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that treatment with an oral combination of THC/CBD will reduce agitation hospice care-eligible patients with agitation and dementia as measured by the Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) when compared to placebo at 2 weeks. This study will enroll approximately 150 participants of any gender at least 40 years of age who are hospice care-eligible with agitation and dementia (HAD). Participants will be randomized (50:50) to either active study drug (T2:C100) or placebo. The double-blind period of this study is 12 weeks. A 24 week optional open-label extension will be offered to participants who complete the double-period.

Effect of caudal nalbuphine on postoperative emergence agitation in pediatrics undergoing infra-umbilical surgeries and pain assessment

Emergence agitation (EA) is a transient, self-limited, non-fluctuating state of psychomotor excitement, which closely revolves around the emergence of general anesthesia. Uncontrolled EA during the recovery period increases the potential risk of injury to patients and medical staff, resulting in varying degrees of adverse consequences, such as elevated blood pressure, incision rupture, bleeding, cardio-cerebrovascular accidents and so on, leading to a great waste of resources. Accumulating scientific evidence indicates that the incidence of EA is related to the use of perioperative sedative drugs. As a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam has been accepted for induction and maintenance of clinical anesthesia. Compared to traditional benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam combines the safety of midazolam with the effectiveness of propofol, and also has the advantages of acting quickly, short half-life, no injection pain, slight respiratory depression, independent of liver and kidney metabolism, long-term infusion without accumulation, and has a specific antagonist: flumazenil. This study aims to investigate whether perioperative sedation of Remimazolam besylate, propofol, and sevoflurane have different effects on the incidence of emergence agitation and hemodynamics in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by an urge to move the legs at night when at rest. RLS can lead to a sleep deprivation, increased falling risk, daytime sleepiness, depression and decreased quality of life. Dopamine agonists, alpha-2-delta ligands and opiates are key medications for RLS. The natural course of RLS is very heterogeneous with a risk of increasing the severity of symptoms over the years despite the use of drugs and recommended dosages. Many comorbidities can make RLS worse. Augmentation syndrome is the main complication of dopamine agonists. However, only a few studies have addressed the clinical, biological and pharmacological factors associated with the evolution of the severity of RLS. The objective of this study is to assess the evolution of RLS symptoms severity as function of RLS phenotype, comorbidities and RLS medication, in large cohort of members of the French RLS association and other European RLS association.

Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (NIV) has been increasingly used in the treatment of acute respiratory failure. Notwithstanding failure rates still remains high, ranging from 5% to 60%. The onset of delirium, agitation, pain and dyspnea may contribute to reduce the success rate of non invasive ventilation treatment. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence and impact of delirium, agitation, pain and dyspnea on clinical outcomes in a population of patient admitted to Respiratory Intensive Care Unit undergoing Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation for Acute Respiratory Failure.

It is generally acknowledged that patients with dementia are best cared for at home. However, outbursts of various behavioral disturbances, e.g., combativeness, appear in most cases and often necessitate institutionalization. These outbursts are often without apparent warning, which limits preventive interventions. The measurement of the electrical activity of the skin is well-studied as an indicator of stress or agitation. The investigators propose to monitor the electrical activity of skin in patients with dementia in order to determine whether any sign of agitation may occur before the outburst. If skin electrical activity gives sufficient warning, then preventive interventions may be tried. If successful, the ability to predict and prevent outbursts of behavioral disturbances will allow patients to be cared for at home for longer periods. It is the primary aim of this project to determine whether skin electrical activity gives such a warning; possible preventive measures will be the subject of future studies.

The Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder better characterized by an urge to move the legs at rest. Although treatments are available, many patients experience periods of symptoms relief and exacerbation. Whether this is due to the natural history of the disease or to health-related behaviors of daily life is presently unknown. The primary objective is to examine the feasibility of mobile technology to assess RLS symptoms severity fluctuations in daily life by collecting real-time data. The secondary objectives will be to examine the validity of this technic in the context of RLS and to use these real-time data to identify daily life risk factors for symptom onset or aggravation.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a a pilot trial that tests the acceptability, fidelity, and feasibility of ED-TREAT.
