Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

We would like to see if Hyperbaric Oxygen can help improve the symptoms that result from Post Concussive Syndrome.

This study is a multicentric, randomized, parallel group, open label controlled trial of children age 1 year up to 4 years with new onset, idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. It is designed to test the initial duration of steroid therapy of either 3 month or 6 month total duration. Participants will be randomized to either extend their pre-trial 3 months (12 weeks) of standard of care corticosteroid therapy to add an additional 12 weeks of therapy or to stop therapy. Pre-trial standard of care corticosteroids will include 60 mg/m2/day for 6 weeks followed by 40 mg/m2/day every other day for 6 weeks of prednisolone or equivalent. The trial intervention will therefore be an additional 12 vs 0 weeks of corticosteroids in these children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

A single-center, self-control, open-label study of efficacy and safety of Iguratimod in patients with Sjögren's Syndrome

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is widely recognized as a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder. Decitabine has been approved for the treatment of all subtypes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, the use of decitabine is often limited by its severe toxicity represented by myelosuppression even at relatively low doses. In lower-risk patients (including IPSS low and int-1 risk groups), treatment mainly aims at improving cytopenias, especially anemia. However, although several drugs may improve anemia, sometimes durably, most of lower risk MDS eventually require red blood cell (RBC) transfusions during their disease course. Long term RBC transfusions lead to iron overload mainly due to an increase in reticulo-endothelial iron recycling.Cardiac, liver and endocrine (diabetes mellitus) dysfunction due to iron overload and often leading to fatal outcome has been reported in heavily transfused lower risk MDS patients. To date, the optimal regimen for decitabine treatment is not well established. In this study, we perform a prospective analysis to explore the decitabine schedule for the treatment of lower risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients with transfusion dependent.

This is a study to assess the benefit of sodium hyaluronate (Ostenil) injection for plantaris friction syndrome (PFS) associated with midportion Achilles tendinopathy. Functional outcome scores will be recorded prior to treatment and at regular intervals up to 2 years. Changes in tendon structure will be assessed using ultrasonographic tissue characterisation (UTC). UTC will be performed prior to treatment and also at regular intervals up to 6 months following injection.

This is a multi-center, open-label trial of Elbasvir/ Grazoprevir 50/100 mg fixed dose combination 12 week treatment aimed to evaluate SVR12 in treatment naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C (genotype 1b) infection, associated with of metabolic syndrome. The study to be conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practices. A total of 60 subjects will be studied at 2 sites in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Males and Females treatment naïve patients with CHC genotype 1b infection associated with metabolic syndrome (MS), 18-70 years of age, with or without severe fibrosis / compensated cirrhosis will be enrolled. SVR 12 (primary endpoint) will be evaluated. Patients will be stratified by fibrosis stage and presence of metabolic syndrome components. Interim Analysis will be performed in order to estimate viral kinetics, applicability of SVR4 and durability of SVR12 by evaluation of virologic response at week 4 and 8 of treatment and follow-up at week 4 (SVR 4) and 24 will be performed - this will be a descriptive summary only without hypothesis testing. The main hypothesis is that 12-week therapy with MK-5172 in combination with MK-8742 for treatment-naïve patients with HCV genotype 1b with metabolic syndrome is not notably worse than the same course for treatment-naïve patients with HCV genotype 1b without metabolic syndrome.

Observe validity of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Injection assisted in IVF-ET (in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer) treatment of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) patients.

This prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial will evaluate the effect and security of dexamethasone prevention for Patients of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome.

In clinical practice, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the common disease of peripheral neuropathy and usually happened to female, mid-age population, overweight persons, and those who overused their hands for work or production. Some research claimed this might be correlated to anatomical characteristics such as the longer anteroposterior diameter or smaller cross section area of the wrist. Preliminary symptoms often start with sensory domain (pain, tingling, paresthesia and especially night awakening due to symptoms mentioned above) and then progress to motor domain (thenar muscle atrophy and clumsiness) if left untreated. Depending on the severity, patient's willingness and convenience, there are many options for CTS. For those whose symptoms are mild to moderate, conservative therapies are usually the first choice, including physiotherapies, local injection and night splints. Local steroid is proven to be effective to relieve the symptoms of CTS shortly up to 3 months. However, the effects will decline gradually and repetitive injections is suggestive. The patients with severe symptoms which comprise thenar muscle atrophy will be advised to receive decompression surgery.the surgery can alleviate the illness with high success rate up to 70%. Unfortunately, there are still patients who will relapse or undergo side effects, for example, finger weakness. In recent years, acupuncture researches focused on CTS intervention have been outgrowing and promising. Whereas, there are still lack of evidence which stands for the therapeutic effects comparing with local steroid injection. This limits the built-up of suspect mechanism of acupuncture intervention for CTS. This is a preliminary, randomized and single-blinded study which started since 2016 and last for a year. The investigators utilize ultrasound to guide the depth of needle penetration which prevents unnecessarily tissues injury such as artery or dry needle injury. This procedure also guarantees the needles lie directly on the upper surface of the median nerve. One group will receive electrical stimulation and another won't. The investigators use electromyography, cross-section area of median nerve, visual analog scale, Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire, six-item scale, The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score and Jamar grip dynamometer as outcome measurements. The results gathered from two experimental groups will be compared with the data from the control group whose participants only receiving local steroid injection once in the first week. The participants are all above 18 years old and complain of illness for a least 3 months without any surgery or local injection for a least 1 year. The investigators set up strict exclusive criteria and sample size estimation is 70.

This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of a parent training program to control disruptive behaviors in children with Tourette Syndrome.
