Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The aim of our study is to determine pain, sensation and electrodiagnostic findings in CTS; to examine its effects on activity and participation.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific reeducation performed by speech therapists in moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, as an alternative to the continuous Positive Anyway Pressure (CPAP) and the mandibular advancement device.

This is a Phase 2, open-label study to A Phase 2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Progerinin for the Treatment of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Loss in Subjects with Typical Werner Syndrome. There will be up to 5 subjects that will receive treatment with Progerinin twice daily for approximately 1 year.

This project aims to compare "diet" and "diet and exercise combination" interventions in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome. This project will be carried out in the Dokuz Eylül University Research and Application Hospital gynecology outpatient clinic between June 1, 2022 and June 1, 2024. The purpose of the project will be explained to women who meet the sampling criteria, and their informed consent will be obtained. A prospective and randomized comparison of "diet" and "diet and exercise combination" interventions, which are among the first-line treatment lifestyle changes recommended for PCOS, will be done. In the project, 33 women in the first group will receive "diet" intervention for 12 weeks, and 33 women in the second group will receive "diet and exercise combination" intervention. "Descriptive Characteristics Form" will be filled in for both groups, then at the beginning and at the end of the project, routine ultrasonography and laboratory test parameters for PCOS diagnosis criteria and menstrual cycle characteristics will be recorded, hirsutism score, alopecia score and acne level will be evaluated, the Utian Quality of Life Scale, Body Appreciation Scale, and the Short Form of the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire will be filled out. Body composition analysis will be performed in both groups at the beginning of the project, in the fourth and eighth weeks, and personal dietary recommendations will be given. Kitchen scales will be given to both groups to adapt to dietary recommendations and a mobile nutrition application will be used to record their diets. Person-specific exercise recommendations will be given to the second group at the beginning of the project, in the fourth and eighth weeks. In addition, women will be informed with a guide to behavioral changes specific to PCOS, which will be prepared specific to their group. Exercise parameters will be recorded by giving the same mobile application. Mobile nutrition application data will be collected via e-mail in the fourth, eighth and twelfth weeks of the project.

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS) is a painful condition affecting runners and it is caused by a reversible increase in pressure within a closed compartment in the leg. Currently, to diagnose CECS, a large needle is placed into the muscle to measure pressure, which is invasive and painful. After diagnosis, the gold standard of treatment is surgery, which is also invasive, involves a prolonged return to play, and has a significant number of treatment failures. A growing literature has suggested alternative methods to both diagnosis and treatment that include the use of ultrasound to investigate muscle stiffness with shear wave elastography (SWE), and treatment with botulinum toxin injection into the muscle. The investigators propose a single-site randomized clinical trial to investigate the use of abobotulinumtoxinA in the treatment of CECS. Researchers also look to develop a non-invasive method for the diagnosis of CECS using SWE. To the researchers' knowledge, this is the first randomized study investigating the medication to treat this cause. The study will take place at Emory's outpatient sports medicine clinic. Potential participants will primarily be identified and recruited from the departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Orthopedics, Physical Therapy, and Sports medicine as a part of regular clinical care. Participants will be included in the randomized portion of the study if they meet the previously established diagnostic criteria for CECS with compartmental pressure testing. This would be a landmark study to provide evidence for the use of an abobotulinumtoxinA in the treatment of CECS, leading to the potential avoidance of a surgical procedure. It could also change the means of diagnosis without the use of painful and invasive needle pressure testing that would provide patients and athletes with ease of care.

Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFSs) are a diverse collection of genetic illnesses characterized by various degrees of peripheral cytopenias due to defective single-lineage or multi-lineage hematopoiesis, it can manifest itself at birth or later in life.

The investigators are assessing acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the adapted GameSquad-DS intervention using validated scales alongside qualitative data among young adults with Down Syndrome. Specifically, the investigators will assess mins/wk of Ring-Fit Adventure played, attendance at 30 min. virtual health coaching sessions, semi-structured interviews, participant retention, and intervention safety measured as number of adverse events.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes are effective measures to reduce recurrent ischemic events in post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, participation rates in CR programmes following myocardial infarction remain low and their long-term effects are uncertain. Home-based CR in combination with novel innovative e-Health applications could overcome barriers to accessibility and participation. Rehab+, a mobile cardiac rehabilitation (mCR) programme co-created with patients and rehabilitation centres, is designed to future-proof CR and to make CR more accessible to patients. Moreover, Rehab+ will be offered for 12 consecutive months after myocardial infarction and could therefore result in greater sustained effects. This prospective, investigator-initiated, multicentre, matched control, observational trial intends to enroll 900 post-ACS patients. Subjects following ACS will be enrolled in the hospital if they meet all the eligibility criteria. Each subject will be able to choose between one of the 2 treatment groups, i.e. 12 months of mCR or 6-8 weeks of traditional centre-based CR. The follow-up for each subject will take 12 months for both groups. The primary objective of this study is to assess whether mCR programme result in better sustained effects on physical, mental and social outcomes in post-ACS patients, as compared to post-ACS patients who follow the traditional CR programme. The main hypothesis is that mCR is expected to result in greater improvement in Quality of Life at 12 months as compared to traditional CR.

Record the ENMG data carried out systematically in patients treated by rehabilitation for thoracic outlet syndrome in order to assess their characteristics and judge the relevance of these data in the context of the diagnosis and their possible modifications following the rehabilitation treatment.

Through research and analysis, the levels of upstream and downstream factors related to TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway and inflammatory response factor related factors in serum, blood cells, articular fluid, urine, tongue covering and discarded tissues after surgery of patients with LKD syndrome and PBS syndrome of knee osteoarthritis were obtained, and the syndrome characteristics were further obtained. Through research and analysis, the index levels of multiple omics detection in serum, blood cells, joint fluid, urine, tongue coating and discarded tissues of patients with LKD syndrome and PBS syndrome of knee osteoarthritis were obtained, and the syndrome characteristics were further obtained. The severity of syndrome was quantified by syndrome score scale and the correlation between the above results and the syndrome score of patients with knee osteoarthritis with LKD syndrome and PBS syndrome was studied in combination with imaging characteristics. To establish a "disease and syndrome cell model" and test relevant indicators to support the above research. Through the analysis of the above research results, the possible mechanism is analyzed to provide an objective basis for the biological basis of the syndrome and relevant evidence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of knee osteoarthritis with traditional Chinese medicine.
