Active clinical trials for "Shock"

The study consisted of 60 women who had pain-point pains in the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle. They had a medical age of 22.8 years, with a body mass index of 22.8 kg / cm2.They underwent an initial assessment, with a visual analogue pain scale, followed by an assessment of pain threshold, and manual muscle strength.Then, they were allocated into three groups: control group with 20 volunteers without intervention, placebo group with 20 volunteers with shock wave simulation and an intervention group with 20 volunteers with shock wave therapy. All volunteers were evaluated immediately after the protocol (post evaluation) and 48 hours after the intervention protocol (48 hour evaluation). A mixed ANOVA of repeated measurements was used for intra and intergroup comparisons, followed by tukey post hoc. Significance was set at 5% (p <0.05).

Dexmedetomidine was found might be beneficial to sepsis. Dexmedetomidine were found to improve microcirculation in sepsis animal studies and non-sepsis patients. However, the effect of dexmedetomidine on microcirculation in septic shock patients is unknown.

Cardiogenic shock is a serious medical condition with high mortality and morbidity. This trial assesses safety, tolerability and efficacy of Adrecizumab on top of standard of care in patients with cardiogenic shock.

in this study the investigators aim to assess the role of using dexmedetomidine as sedative in septic shock patients in comparison with midazolam. The investigators aim to assess the effect on immune response and inflammatory mediators and effect on vasopressors.

Although norepinephrine is commonly used and is the recommended agent for the treatment of hypotension in volume-resuscitated hyperdynamic septic shock, Low doses of vasopressin may be added to norepinephrine to maintain arterial blood pressure in refractory septic shock and to decrease exposure to norepinephrine. The aim of the work is to compare the effect of norepinephrine alone and Norepinephrine/vasopressin combination on hemodynamics and tissue perfusion in septic shock patients.

This is a prospective, multi-centric, randomized, double-blind, parallel, controlled phase-III efficacy clinical study of PMZ-2010 therapy in patients with hypovolemic shock. Centhaquine (previously used names, centhaquin and PMZ-2010; International Non-proprietary Name (INN) recently approved by WHO is centhaquine) has been found to be an effective resuscitative agent in rat, rabbit and swine models of hemorrhagic shock, it decreased blood lactate, increased mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and decreased mortality. An increase in cardiac output during resuscitation is mainly attributed to an increase in stroke volume. Centhaquine acts on the venous α2B-adrenergic receptors and enhances venous return to the heart, in addition, it produces arterial dilatation by acting on central α2A-adrenergic receptors to reduce sympathetic activity and systemic vascular resistance.

Spasticity is the most common motor disorder in cerebral palsy (CP). The objectives of his therapeutic approach include; reducing pain, ease of use of orthopedic aids, improving posture, minimizing contractures and deformity, and facilitating mobility and dexterity, with the ultimate goal of maximizing the potential of the patient and promoting their independence and quality of life. The approach to spasticity in CP is complex and presents itself as a great challenge for the rehabilitation team. Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has been established in recent years as an effective, non-invasive alternative with hardly any side effects (small bruises or discomfort during the application) for the management of spasticity in patients with CP. rESWT is a relatively new therapy in the field of neurology, in 2010 was published the first clinical trial where shock waves were applied for the management of spasticity in patients with CP. Currently, few works have studied the efficacy of rESWT in patients with CP. In all of them, the results demonstrated the treatment's effectiveness in reducing spasticity locally in people with CP up to 3 months after the application. The group most studied muscle has been the Triceps Surae, and there is a great disparity regarding the doses of treatment applied in each study, especially regarding the number of sessions and the time interval between sessions. The most widely used protocol is 3 rESWT sessions with a time interval of 1 week between session; This protocol was established as the most effective in the treatment of trauma pathology. Despite all the variability in the administration of the dose, we have been able to observe that none of them has studied the effect of rESWT by lengthening the time interval between sessions beyond one week to check whether the therapeutic effects on spasticity can be prolonged over time by applying the same dose. Most of the studies conclude that future research should be aimed at studying the most optimal dose of treatment as well as evaluating the long-term results.

This open-label, randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effect of a fixed dose of terlipressin added to usual care vs. usual care alone on renal perfusion in patients with septic shock.

The current standard of catecholamine vasopressor management of perioperative hypotension in kidney transplant patients carries significant risks and falls short in many ways. Currently, there is an absence in the scientific literature and research describing the hemodynamic effectiveness and safety of novel pharmacologic agents such as angiotensin II (Giapreza - Ang II) in perioperative kidney transplant patients. Phase 3 registration trials have demonstrated the superior safety and efficacy of Ang II (Giapreza) in distributive shock patients compared to traditional vasopressor agents and the novel mechanism of action may provide additional protection in renal transplant patients. The pilot study entails giving informed and consenting kidney transplant recipients Ang II (Giapreza) as their first vasopressor if the need for vasopressors emerge either intraoperatively or postoperatively in kidney transplant recipients. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and hemodynamic effects of Ang II (Giapreza) in the renal transplant population.

this study is conducted to evaluate the role of the novel triple therapy combination in reducing the mortality rate, reducing the shock time, and reversal of organ damage. the study includes two arms, the first arm is the control which received hydrocortisone monotherapy and the second arm is the intervention arm which received the triple therapy regimen. calculation of 28 days in-hospital mortality is the primary outcome. shock time, vasopressor doses, infection markers, and organ function tests are the secondary outcomes. the data will be analyzed by student t-test or Mann Whitney test, Fischer exact or chi-square test for numbers, repeated measures ANOVA will be used to consider confounders and other parameters, mortality will be expressed by Kaplan Meier and ROC curve. For Multivariate analysis of repeated quantitative outcomes, linear mixed models were used to quantify the relationship between one dependent variable (SOFA, SCr, doses of vasopressors) and many independent variables including group type and sepsis phenotype adjusted to other clinical and demographic factors.
