Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Rotator Cuff Syndrome is a commonly encountered musculoskeletal disorder in clinical practice, with an incidence ranging from 0.3% to 5.5%, and an annual prevalence of 0.5% to 7.4%. In addition, over time, with a monthly rate of 0.26%, this condition can progress to complete rotator cuff tendon injury resulting in worsening pain and shoulder function. The etiology of Rotator Cuff Syndrome is still controversial. What the investigators know is that in tendinopathies there are histological changes in the structure of the tendons, resulting in a change in the mechanical properties of the tendons and leading to a chronic often disabling pain condition. Although conservative therapy should still be considered the first choice in cuff tendinopathies, The clinical results of the various types of nonsurgical treatments are still mixed and often show poor efficacy. This explains the growing interest of the scientific community in developing new biological therapies that can both improve shoulder function and promote tendon healing. The aim of the study is to evaluate, through the Constant Murley Score (CMS), the performance of intra-articular treatment with a collagen-based medical device (MD-Shoulder Collagen Medical Device) in recovering joint function and reducing pain in Rotator Cuff Syndrome.

Specific Aim 1: As shown in the literature, exercise can be a useful tool for treating and improving functional GI disorders. Therefore, the aim is to estimate the effectiveness of an exercise intervention on IBS symptoms as measured by a reduction of at least 50 score points on the IBS- Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS) questionnaire.

This research study will determine whether orally administered ADX-629 is safe and has biochemical efficacy in patients with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS), a rare inherited disorder of fatty aldehyde metabolism The disease is caused by bi-allelic mutations in ALDH3A2, which results in deficient activity of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) and leads to the build-up of harmful long-chain (C16-C20) aldehydes and alcohols. Accumulation of these lipids and their metabolic products in skin, brain and eyes is responsible for the symptoms, which persist lifelong. ADX-629 is an aldehyde trapping agent that is expected to eliminate fatty aldehydes and negate aldehyde toxicity, improve the biochemical abnormalities and have clinical efficacy for SLS. The primary objective of this clinical protocol is to determine whether ADX-629 is safe and tolerable for use in SLS subjects. The secondary objective is to determine the efficacy of ADX-629 in reversing the biochemical abnormalities in SLS. Exploratory objectives are to evaluate the short-term clinical effects of ADX-629 on neurologic, cutaneous and ophthalmologic disease in SLS. Patients will be treated with ADX-629 for 12 weeks and monitored for safety and biochemical efficacy.

Patients who have undergone COVID-19 infection often have long-term sequelae. One of the most prevalent sequelae is pain. The main objective of this research is to investigate the efficacy of a cognitive behavioral principles-based treatment program in fear avoidance beliefs, disability, pain catastrophizing and pain interference.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a neurological disease characterized by an inflammation of peripheral nerves, which might be responsible for long-term disability. Respiratory muscle weakness is a complication of GBS and might be responsible for respiratory symptoms, inadequate secretion clearance or hypoventilation, with negative impact on daily life. Inspiratory muscle training has been applied in respiratory and neurological diseases and benefits have been observed in symptoms (e.g., dyspnoea), pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life. Nevertheless, results of this intervention in people with GBS are yet unknown. Moreover, rehabilitation is a key player in the recovery of these highly complex patients, however, the interpretation of the magnitude of its effects has been limited by the absence of minimal clinically important differences for most outcome measures. To overcome these drawbacks, methodologically robust trials are needed to build evidence-based rehabilitation to improve clinical care on GBS. The primary aim of this project (RehabGBs) is to develop an inspiratory muscle training protocol - InspireGBs and assess its effects on respiratory muscle strength, peak cough flow, pulmonary function, dyspnoea, fatigue, functional status and quality of life in people with GBS, through a randomised controlled trial. Secondary aims are to: i) establish minimal clinically important differences of Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Subscale, Medical Research Council - Manual Muscle Testing, Vital capacity, Maximal Inspiratory Pressure, Peak Cough Flow, Functional Independence Measure and Quality of Life for inpatient rehabilitation programmes of people with GBS ii) Evaluate the prevalence of nocturnal hypoventilation in GBS.

This phase II trial tests whether decitabine and cedazuridine (ASTX727) in combination with venetoclax work better than ASTX727 alone at decreasing symptoms of bone marrow cancer in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) with excess blasts. Blasts are immature blood cells. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Cobimetinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. The combination of ASTX727 and venetoclax may be more effective in reducing the cancer signs and symptoms in patients with CMML, or MDS/MPN with excess blasts.

The primary research question to be addressed is: Does a 2'-FL-containing dietary supplement impact stool microbiota composition in adults with IBS? The primary measure for determining potential impacts of the 2'-FL-containing dietary supplement on stool microbiota composition is stool abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a commensal intestinal bacteria. Additional measures related to determining potential impacts of the 2'-FL-containing dietary supplement on gut microbiota composition are stool levels of additional commensal intestinal bacteria and measures of intestinal microbial diversity.

To learn if the combination of cladribine, cytarabine, venetoclax, and azacitidine can help to control higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with excess blasts and/or higher-risk chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and exploratory dose response of paltusotine treatment in subjects with carcinoid syndrome. This study consists of a Randomized Treatment Phase followed by an Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase.

This study consists of two parts. Part 1 will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of 52-weeks of basmisanil treatment in children and adolescents (aged 2-14 years) with Dup15q syndrome. Part 1 will test the hypothesis that negative allosteric modulation of a GABAA receptor subtype can address excessive receptor function and positively impact core neurodevelopmental disease feature in individuals with Dup15q syndrome. Part 2 is an optional 2-year open-label extension to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and to provide supportive evidence of benefit of continued treatment with basmisanil in selected efficacy outcomes.
