Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is indicated for selected patients with chronic pain who have not responded to conventional medical management. Forty (40) patients indicated for SCS placement and presenting to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Interventional Pain Management Clinic in Little Rock, Arkansas will be recruited for this study. Prior to temporary stimulator placement, patients will complete symptom-related questionnaires and provide a blood sample. Demographic and clinical characteristics will be obtained through medical record review. Patients will complete the same questionnaires and provide a blood sample at each of the routine clinical care follow-up visits.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Efgartigimod in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is Efgartigimod a safe treatment option for GBS patients? Does treatment with Efgartigimod improve patient outcomes? In addition to standard-of-care procedures and assessments, participants will: Undergo seven blood draws during hospitalization and in four follow-up study visits to evaluate the concentration of neurofilament light chain, a protein that is elevated in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome. The presence of neurofilament light chain is believed to be indicative of damage to the nervous system, with higher levels resulting from greater damage. Complete the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) to monitor any suicidal ideation or behaviors during the course of the study.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy and safety of the Chinese patent medicine Changyanning Tablet in the patients with Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can Changyanning Tablet improve diarrhea and abdominal pain in IBS-D patients? Is Changchangning Tablet safe for the treatment of IBS-D?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common cause of recurrent abdominal pain in children. IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that is linked to motor and sensory physiology, as well as the central nervous system, that presents as abdominal pain with abnormal defecation patterns. This discomfort leads to emotional stress, decreased quality of life, and anxiety. The study proposes that yoga and mindfulness will decrease anxiety and increase quality of life for patients with IBS. The aim of this study is to measure the impact of a brief, at-home, 6-week twice per week Standardized Yoga & Meditation Program for Stress Reduction program on anxiety, IBS symptoms, and quality of life in children ages 12-21 diagnosed with IBS.

CAR T-cell therapy is a promising innovative therapy for hematological malignancies. Immune effectors cells-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a significant complication of CAR therapy. The goal of this study is to understand what brain mechanisms become disrupted when patients experience ICANS. The study will test the hypothesis that cerebrospinal fluid catecholamines and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging are affected in this disorder. To test this hypothesis, the study will measure cerebrospinal fluid catecholamines in ICANS patients and evaluate brain magnetic resonance imaging for these participants. This study may contribute to knowledge about brain biomarkers and imaging of ICANS, which will greatly aid in ICANS detection and prevention.

The clinical course of RRMS patients is variable. Among RIS-Consortium international cohorts, one third of RIS patients progressed to MS at 5 years and 52.2% at 10 years. Biomarkers predictive of MS conversion are key elements to organize personalized medical care, for both follow-up and treatment strategies. EBV seems to be an interesting candidate regarding its involvement MS pathophysiology. It can be easily assess in blood sample in contrast to others prognostic biomarkers validated in RIS : oligoclonal bands and NfL levels in cerebrospinal fluid and serum. In RIS, treatment targeting EBV could significantly modify the course of the disease. The investigators aim to make the fisrt description of the EBV epidemiology (immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgG anti-viral capsid antigen (VCA), IgG anti Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA)) among RIS patients and to investigate a correlation between the different antibodies' titers (IgM VCA, IgG VCA, IgG EBNA) and the course of the disease (clinical conversion or evidence of disease activity (EDA)).

This will be a single-site, open-label study in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-BTLA agonist therapy (LY3361237) in treating patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of LY3361237 in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome by assessing changes in the Sjogren's Tool for Assessing Response (STAR) after 12 weeks of treatment. The secondary objective is to determine the effect of LY3361237 on glandular changes measured by PET/MRI.

This phase I/II open-label, dose-finding, multi-center study will assess safety and primary efficacy of Onureg and Venetoclax combination, to define the optimal biological dose and optimal treatment duration of Onureg to be used along with Venetoclax for further studies in previously untreated patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS) not eligible to transplant.

The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that oral taking of baclofen in therapeutic dosage for 60 days is equally effective as injection of botulinum toxin type "A" in the area of trigger points of the pelvic muscles.

This is an exploratory, Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of oral treatment with VYNT-0126 in female subjects 18-45 years of age with Rett syndrome.
