Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

This study wants to use a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of receiving acupuncture GB20 or GB20 plus BL2 on alleviating the ocular dryness symptom from dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome. One hundred dry eye syndrome subjects are composed of 50 dry eye syndrome subjects and 50 Sjögren's syndrome' dry eye subjects, and all are randomized into 40 Group GB20 and 40 Group GB20 plus BL2 (GBL), and 20 Group Waiting list; while we also include 20 healthy controls. Fifty dry eye syndrome subjects are randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list in first year; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. And we could use the Whole-genome genotyping, oral microbiota, Schirmer's test, Tear breakup time, Cytokines, OSDI, TCM pattern, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis, and TCM heart rate variability for this purpose. In second year, another 50 dry eye syndrome subjects are also enrolled and randomized into randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation with above outcome measurements, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. Meanwhile, we also include 20 healthy controls, and we want to find the difference with the comparison between the dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control in second year. Through the analysis for dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, we could find the biomarker to differentiate dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control. In the future, this work could be applied for screening and diagnosis of pre-dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, and this integrated TCM with Western Medicine plan could be applied for the goal of holistic health care.

PFPS, also known as patellofemoral pain syndrome, is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that primarily affects adolescents and young adults. When engaging in various activities, such as stair climbing, running, jumping, kneeling, or prolonged sitting, it is characterized by aching pain in the peripatellar region. Any disruption of these would result in abnormal PFJ overloading. Normal patellar tracking on the trochlea groove relies on the coordination and balance of many structures, including soft tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the shape of articular surfaces around the knee joint. Research in a variety of fields has received support the therapeutic exercise known as "clamshells" for stabilizing the pelvis by strengthening the hip abductors and external rotators.VMO strengthening exercises are also essential in keeping the patella in the trochlear groove and lowering the lateral vector force on the patellofemoral joint. This research aims to evaluate the effects of clamshells exercise and Vastrus medialis oblique strengthening exercise in patients with Patellofemoral pain syndrome. The study would be randomized clinical trial. Total fourty two subjects will be assigned randomly by using lottery method into two groups. Group A will be given clamshell exercise with baseline treatment while Group B will receive targeted vastrus medialis oblique strengthening exercise with baseline treatment. After confirmation of diagnosis with physical examination as well as zohlar's test /20 cm step down test are recommended. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) would be used as an outcome measure tools for pain and functional limitation respectively. Measurements will be taken at (Baseline and at the end of treatment session). The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0. Parametric/non-parametric tests will be applied after testing normality of data.

To assess the effectiveness of a combined physical and psychological intervention in reducing pain and improving function in carpal tunnel syndrome patients with nociplastic pain.

To confirm the efficacy and safety of rituximab (genetical recombination) intravenously administered to idiopathic membranous nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of photobiomodulation of the pelvic floor muscles in female Veterans with chronic pelvic pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in reduction in overall pelvic pain between women who undergo photobiomodulation compared to women who received pelvic floor physical therapy? Is there a difference in compliance with therapy between the two groups? Participants will be randomized to treatment with either 9 treatments of photobiomodulation (two treatments per week) or 8 weeks of pelvic floor physical therapy (one treatment a week). Researchers will compare both groups to see if there is a difference in overall pelvic pain reduction.

There is sparse evidence on the effectiveness of first-line treatment in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) regarding clinical- and cost-effectiveness. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a supervised strength exercise intervention to usual first-line care in patients with FAIS. The main hypothesis it aims to investigate are: 6-months of supervised strength exercise intervention is superior (i.e., at least 6 points, on a scale from 0-100) to usual care in improving hip related quality of life in patients with FAIS at the end of intervention. 6-months of supervised strength exercise intervention is cost-effective compared to usual first-line care at 12-month follow-up in patients with FAIS. High exercise adherence and dosage will be superior to low exercise adherence and dosage in mediating clinical effectiveness in patients with FAIS.

Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes. Down syndrome is a genetic condition that causes mild to serious physical and developmental problems. Symptoms associated with the syndrome include mental retardation, distinctive facial characteristics, and increased risk for heart defects and digestive problems, which can range from mild to severe.. Early treatment programs can help improve skills. They may include speech, physical, occupational, and/or educational therapy. The aim of the the current study is to determine the effects of plyometric exercise on static and dynamic balance in children with Down syndrome

Part 1: This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, crossover, dose escalation, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of oral LQT-1213 on dofetilide-induced QTc prolongation in healthy adult subjects. This is a 2-treatment, 2-period crossover study with approximately up to 28 healthy subjects, with screening procedures within 28 days of enrolment. Part 2: This is a Phase 2a, single-blind, placebo run-in, multiple-dose safety study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of LQT-1213 in patients diagnosed with LQT2 or LQT3. Up to 12 participants with LQT2 and up to 12 participants with LQT3 will be recruited.

This non-inferiority study aims to compare the efficacy of Prednisone combined with Huaiqihuang Granule against Prednisone combined with Levamisole in the treatment of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) in children.

Purpose of the study: This study compares effects of isometric, concentric and eccentric exercises for shoulder muscles by using low load blood flow restriction training on pain, strength and function in patients with SIS.
