Active clinical trials for "Psychomotor Agitation"

This purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of pregabalin in treating idiopathic RLS patients for up to 12 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cabergoline compared with levodopa in the treatment of patients with RLS.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of single doses of aplindore compared to placebo in RLS. Patients will be required to spend 5-8 nights in a sleep laboratory. This includes 1 adaptation night, 1 placebo night, and 3-6 drug treatment nights. Ascending doses of active drug will be administered on study nights 3 through 5 to determine the maximum well tolerated efficacious dose (defined as a decrease in Periodic Limb Movement Index (PLMI) of at least 50% from placebo baseline). If an efficacious dose cannot be identified the Investigator in consultation with the sponsor may decide to examine higher doses in up to 3 additional PSG nights in an attempt to identify a tolerable efficacious dose. This study will utilize up to 24 evaluable patients, each meeting International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-2) diagnostic criteria for primary RLS who are not currently taking any RLS medication including DAs ( and L-dopa) or who are able to discontinue their RLS medication at least 5 half-lives prior to the adaptation night.

To determine efficacy and safety of Pramipexole 0.125mg to 0.75mg daily for 6 weeks compared to placebo in the treatment of idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

The purpose of the study is to see if a small dose of propofol given intravenously (through a needle into a vein) at the end of anesthesia can make it less likely that children will be agitated as the come out of the anesthetic.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether transdermal nicotine replacement therapy is safe and effective for treating nicotine withdrawal symptoms in the critically ill smoking patient.

The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of AVP-923 compared to placebo, for the treatment of symptoms of agitation in participants with Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of 2 dosage regimens of Intravenous (IV) iron Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) in comparison to placebo in patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

This study will test whether botulinum toxin (Botox) may relieve the uncomfortable sensations patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) experience. RLS is a common movement disorder that causes sensory discomfort and restlessness, most often in the legs, which improves with movement. Although medications are available to treat the disorder, many people experience side effects that prevent them from continuing on the medication. The Food and Drug Administration has approved Botox for other movement disorders and for some cosmetic uses. People 18 years of age or older with moderate to severe RLS who have been taking RLS medications for more than 6 weeks before entering the study may be eligible to participate. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical and neurological examinations, blood tests and, for women who can become pregnant, a urine pregnancy test. Participants are randomly assigned to receive injections of either Botox or placebo (salt water) into up to nine areas of the legs. The correct location of the muscles to be injected is determined by electromyography (EMG), a test that measures the electrical activity of muscles. For surface EMG, electrodes (small metal disks) are filled with a conductive gel and taped to the skin. Needle EMG involves inserting a needle into a muscle. Both methods are used in this study. At 2 and 4 weeks after the injections, subjects are interviewed by telephone and asked to describe their symptoms, side effects and any improvement they may have noticed. After 12 weeks they return to NIH for injections with the alternate compound; that is, those who received Botox previously are given placebo for the second set of injections, and vice-versa. Subjects are again contacted by telephone 2 and 4 weeks after the injections to report their symptoms, side effects and benefits.

The purpose of this study is to determine if sequential compression devices (SCD) when worn for an hour per day by patients suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) are helpful for the improvement of the RLS symptoms and sleep.
