Active clinical trials for "Psychomotor Agitation"

Multi-center, prospective double-blind randomized controlled pivotal study of noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) with the NTX100 Neuromodulation System for patients with medication-refractory moderate-severe primary RLS

This is a two-stage adaptive Phase Ib trial design, that will identify two doses (lowest dose with clinical benefit and highest safe dose) in a first stage and better evaluate safety, tolerability and variability of effect in the second stage.

To evaluate the superiority of brexpiprazole 1 mg or 2 mg over placebo after a 10-week treatment regimen for agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type in patients who require medication, and to investigate the safety of brexpiprazole and identify the optimum dose.

Gabapentin enacarbil (GEn; GSK1838262; HORIZANT), at a dose of 600 mg/day, is currently approved in the United States for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of GEn at lower doses (450 and 300 mg/day) as well as the already approved dose of 600 mg/day versus placebo for the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe primary RLS. This study is being conducted as a post-marketing commitment (PMC) as a condition of the approval of HORIZANT tablets (NDA 022399).

Study to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pramipexole (PPX) after administration of a single dose orally (p.o.) in pediatric patients with the diagnosis of RLS

Tyrosine is a non essential amino acid that is the precursor of the neurotransmitter, dopamine. Tyrosine is converted into Levodihydrophenylalanine (L-Dopa) and L-Dopa is subsequently and avidly converted into dopamine. It is well known that dopamine deficiency leads to the manifestations of restless legs syndrome (RLS). Studies have shown dopamine agonists and L-dopa to be effective in controlling symptoms. No studies to date have been done to determine the role of tyrosine in RLS. This open-label pilot study aims to determine the efficacy and tolerability of tyrosine in RLS, as current agents have limitations in treating RLS in addition to adding another possible agent to the investigators arsenal of treating RLS that maybe more cost efficient. In this pilot study, the dose of tyrosine will be escalated from 750 mg once daily by mouth (PO) up to 3000 mg once daily PO, as tolerated, in increments of 750 mg every week in patients who meet the inclusion criteria for RLS. Patients' symptoms will be monitored on a weekly basis for six weeks.

Phase IV, multinational, multicentre, open-label, non-randomized, clinical trial conducted in Europe (Spain, Germany, Finland, Norway, Romania and Austria) to evaluate the safety profile of ADASUVE® in agitated patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder when self-administered outside of a hospital setting without the supervision of a healthcare professional. The Study will aim to include approximately 500 patients who have been previously treated with ADASUVE® in the last 6 months prior to screening or recently treated during the planned recruitment period of 6 months with a 'positive outcome' ('ADASUVE® responder') according to Clinical Global Impressions (CGI-I) scale, from a total of about 30-34 centers. All patients will be followed up for a maximum of 6 months from baseline, during which it is expected that a new episode of agitation will occur.

comparison of intramuscular olanzapine and ketamine efficacy as first medication for fast sedation of patients with agitation and aggressive behavior. Five hundred patients with agitation caused by psychiatric disorder were randomly assigned under double-blind conditions to receive olanzapine or ketiapine. The Overt Agitation Severity Scale, Overt Aggression Scale and Ramsay Sedation Scale will be applied within 12 hours after the first dosage.

The goal of this study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of liquid risperidone in psychiatrically hospitalized children, ages 4-12, who would be put in seclusion or restraint, or given an intramuscular injection of diphenhydramine because of their out-of-control behavior if not medicated with risperidone. The first part of the study will: 1) develop appropriate oral doses of medication to reduce out of control or agitated behavior effectively with the fewest side effects, and 2) develop a rating system to measure the children's behavior i.e. level of improvement, sedation, and untoward effects.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of GSK1838262 extended release tablets in the treatment of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome and associated sleep disturbance.
