Active clinical trials for "Spasm"

The investigator's aim is to compare the efficacy of Ropinirole (Requip) to vitamin E in the treatment of muscle cramps in cirrhotic patients.

This study is a randomized controlled and single-blind study consisting of qualitative and quantitative stages to evaluate the effect of aromatherapy massage on cramp frequency, cramp pain severity and quality of life in crampy hemodialysis (HD) patients.

This is a pilot study to see if hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) if safe and effective to use with patients having cramps due to their cirrhotic liver disease.

Oral magnesium supplementation has been widely used in the treatment of muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are common in dialysis patients but are not satisfactorily prevented by oral magnesium. Transdermal administration of magnesium has been promoted as a potential treatment for muscle cramps but this has not been investigated rigorously. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of transdermal magnesium supplementation in reducing cramp frequency and severity. We will recruit current haemodialysis patients who suffer from muscle cramps into a randomised, placebo-controlled, cross-over design trial. Each intervention period will last 8 weeks with a 4-week washout period in between. We will measure muscle cramp frequency, duration and severity as the primary outcomes.

Nocturnal leg cramps (NLCs) are often described as a symptom of sudden and involuntary muscle contraction at night, which often affects sleep quality due to pain and tight discomfort in the thigh, calf and foot. The investigator performed extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). This experiment used a randomized experiment to assess the immediate, short-term and long-term effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on patients with nocturnal leg cramps.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether pretarsal and preseptal techniques of Botulinum toxin type A injection have any effect on tear functions.

The Investigators aim to evaluate the effectiveness of dry needling treatment in addition to stretching exercises on cramp duration, cramp intensity, cramp frequency, sleep quality, and sensitivity of myofascial trigger points in patients with nocturnal calf cramp.

Hemifacial spasm patients who received botulinum toxin A injection were divided into two groups. Group A received unilateral injection while group B received bilateral injection. Patients completed follow-up A researcher record facial videos and analyzed facial symmetry and completed 3 scales.

Muscle cramps markedly affect the quality of life in cirrhotic patients with no highly effective drug. Methocarbamol is a central muscle relaxant used to treat skeletal muscle spasms. The mechanism of action of methocarbamol is currently unknown, but may involve the inhibition of carbonic anhydrase. Methocarbamol has a high therapeutic index, i.e. a wide range of safe and effective dosages.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether zinc supplements are effective in enhancing the treatment of oculofacial spasm disorders with botulinum toxin.
