Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of peripheral nerve stimulation utilizing a subcutaneous lead implant technique (SQS) plus optimized medical management (OMM) versus OMM alone in patients suffering from back pain due to Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS).

This multicenter, open-label extension study is designed to assess long-term efficacy and safety of 2.0 milligrams (mg)/kilogram(kg)/week of BMN 110 in patients diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA). Patients with MPS IVA, who enrolled in a prior BioMarin sponsored clinical study of BMN 110 (NCT00884949; Study Identification Number MOR-002), were eligible to enroll in this study (except patients who enrolled in NCT01275066; Study Identification Number MOR-004).

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if dovitinib can safely be given to patients who have VHL with a measurable hemangioblastoma (tumor of the central nervous system). The effects of this drug on the disease will also be studied.

Study TLK199.2107 is a multicenter, single arm, open-label Phase 2 study of oral ezatiostat (Telintra®) in patients with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) refractory or resistant, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent, Low to Intermediate-1 IPSS risk, del5q Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).

Purpose: The investigators are proposing to examine the use of Savella® (Milnacipran) for treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in women. Participants: Eligible participants will meet the Rome III diagnostic criteria for IBS. Procedures: This study will observe patients treated with Savella® as well as patients treated with a placebo (pill with no active drug). The investigators will monitor and compare several patient and symptom related outcomes, as well as evaluate health related quality of life, psychological distress and related psychosocial measures to determine if the addition of Savella® improves clinical pain response as well as secondary outcomes including quality of life.

Depression is frequently seen in cardiac patients. It has been shown that depression often has a negative impact on the course of coronary disease. More recently, research has demonstrated that some antidepressants can be used safely to treat depressed coronary patients. Although the majority of patients improve substantially with antidepressant treatment, a significant proportion do not respond to antidepressants. This project seeks to better understand why depression does not improve equally well in all patients. Ultimately, the hope is to improve the treatments available to people affected by both cardiac disease and depression, and to help select the best type of treatment in advance for each individual based on his or her personal history, and biological characteristics.

The investigators will test whether breathing through an inspiratory resistance device will improve the ability to be upright and decrease heart rate increases on standing in patients with postural tachycardia syndrome.

To determine the utility of the Wii Fit TM interactive video game program in patellofemoral symptom resolution, development of increased muscle strength and flexibility as a result of increased compliance with home exercises in adolescent females with patellofemoral syndrome.

This is a multicenter, placebo controlled, parallel group, double-blind, randomized comparison study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ropinirole IR tablets orally administered for 12 weeks in patients with symptomatic restless legs syndrome associated with Chronic kidney disease (CKD) managed with haemodialysis (including haemofiltration and haemodiafiltration) (hereinafter referred to as "uRLS"), to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term administration of ropinirole IR tablets, and assess the effect on the steady state pharmacokinetics in the long-term administration period of ropinirole IR tablets.

RATIONALE: Giving low-dose total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of donor stem cell transplant after total-body irradiation and to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic cancer or acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia in complete remission.
