Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

This study aim to compare the efficacy of nitazoxanide in 2-week course of treatment with rifaximin in treating diarrhea associated with IBS. We also aim to study its effect over 10 weeks after treatment to evaluate its efficacy in eradicating symptoms of IBS in the long run.

The study aims to evaluate whether the combination of a product based on D-chiro-inositol and the ketogenic diet can improve the metabolic/endocrine picture of overweight/obese women with PCOS, with insulin resistance, in a shorter time than the ketogenic diet alone

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) causes numbness and pain in the hand and arm, and is an important cause of work absence and disability. The aim of the NOR-CACTUS Trial is to compare outcomes of a treatment strategy where the initial treatment is up to two ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections, followed by scheduled clinical assessment of treatment effect, and subsequent surgery if needed, to a treatment strategy where surgery is the first-line treatment. Participants will be randomized to one of the treatment strategies, and followed up for two years after start of the study intervention. Outcomes will include patient-reported, clinical, functional and neurophysiological measures, and health-economic aspects. The hypothesis of the study is that there is no difference between the two treatment groups in the percentage of patients with a satisfactory symptom relief (treatment success) one year after the initial therapeutic intervention.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, study of SPI-62 in subjects with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome caused by a non-adrenal tumor. Subjects will receive each of the following 2 treatments for 24 weeks: SPI-62 and matching placebo with the option of long-term extension.

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of N-acetyl cysteine in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome. A control group of patients with burning mouth syndrome will receive a placebo. The effect of the therapy will be monitored with the help of the visual-analogue scale (VAS) and the oral health-related quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14).

RGH-706 is a novel, potent, and orally active MCHR1 antagonist drug candidate discovered and being developed by Gedeon Richter Plc. for weight management. This will be the first Phase 2, proof-of-concept study using RGH-706 and is the third study in the clinical development program for RGH-706. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of RGH-706 in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).

Urethral pain syndrome (UPS) is defined by the occurrence of persistent or recurrent episodic urethral pain in the absence of proven infection or other obvious pathology. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of an intraurethral and vaginal laser therapy for the treatment of UPS. The hypothesis is that a significant reduction of urethral pressure pain can be achieved.

Previous studies have shown that stool transplantation (FMT) have positive effect in symptoms for some patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Studies have shown that it is possible by FMT to reverse the microbiome of the recipient's intestine in the direction of the microbiome of the donor. The effect on eating habits for engraftment of microbiome by FMT is unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether FMT relieves FODMAP diet extension without worsening intestinal symptoms in IBS patients.

VLCKD has showed to be an impactful diet on several metabolism aspects and has proven to be useful for preventing and treating diabetes mellitus type 2, overweight, chronic inflammation and fatty liver. For this reason, the aim of this pilot study is to examinate the potential effect of a VLCKD on a group of patients that contemporarily have DM2, obesity and Non alcholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), comparing the results with an ipocaloric diet based on Mediterranean Principles and Italian LARN (SINU 2014). This study will consider several interrelated outcomes such as anthropometric data, hematochemical and hormonal parameters, questionnaires, stool microbiota and omics, blood microvescicles, urine tests, instrumental tests (DXA, BIVA, ecographies), biopses and functional tests. 40 subjects will be evaluated and divided in two groups of 20 (VLCKD) and 20 (MedDiet).

Early pregnancy renal anhydramnios or EPRA is a condition where a pregnant woman does not have any amniotic fluid around her fetus because of a problem with the fetus's kidneys. This condition is thought to be fatal once the fetus is born because of inadequate lung growth. The Renal Anhydramnios Fetal Therapy (RAFT) Trial offers eligible pregnant women with a diagnosis of EPRA an experimental therapy of repeated or serial "amnioinfusions" of fluid into the womb. An amnioinfusion involves placing a small needle through the pregnant woman's skin into the womb next to the fetus. Warm sterile fluid with balanced electrolytes and antibiotics is then slowly infused into amniotic space inside the womb. The aim is to help the fetus's lungs grow enough so he or she can survive after birth. These amnioinfusions will be carried out by an expert in fetal interventions at a RAFT center. There is a significant risk of early rupture of membranes and early delivery in subjects who receive amnioinfusions, and any potential trial participants will be counseled about these risks before they decide whether to join the trial. Any eligible patients who, after counseling, elect to terminate the pregnancy will not be eligible to participate in the trial. All eligible patients who choose to join the RAFT trial will be able to choose their assignment into one of two arms of the study: (1) to receive serial amnioinfusions (2) to not receive amnioinfusions but receive monitoring for the remainder of the pregnancy at the RAFT center. Thus, assignment of patients to study arm will not be random, but will be decided by the participant. Fetuses who do survive after birth will require intensive medical management for kidney failure including placement of a dialysis catheter and dialysis therapy with the eventual need for a kidney transplant. Treatment for lung disease secondary to abnormal lung development may also be required. The study will follow babies and their families until non-survival or transplant. Update: Due to recommendations from the RAFT trial Data and Safety Monitoring Board, the trial is no longer open to enrollment for pregnancies complicated by bilateral renal agenesis as of July 19, 2022. Enrollment for patients with pregnancies complicated by other causes of fetal renal failure remains open.
