Pinaverium and Herbs for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment: an Onset and Offset Study (PHIBEST)...
Irritable Bowel SyndromeThe purpose of this study is to test the onset of action, offset of action, efficacy, and safety of pinaverium and an herbal medication for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for a long term (over one year). Pinaverium has been in many countries, but there is no randomized, double-blind, large sample size, and placebo-controlled study on this medication yet. Tong Xie Yao Fang (Formula for pain and diarrhea) is a historically and contemporarily used traditional Chinese medicine that can be used for IBS. The hypothesis is that the two remedies are effective and safe for IBS treatment with no significant different onset and offset of actions when tested by modern clinical standards and criteria.

Homeopathic Treatment of Premenstrual Syndrome
Premenstrual Syndrome-PMSThe proposed study will focus on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptom alleviation for women diagnosed as suffering from the syndrome with the DRSP questionnaire. The women will be treated with Homeopatic remedies. The improvement of PMS symptoms will be evaluated using the Daily Record of Severity of Problems questionnaire (DRSP). The questionnaire will be completed daily by women for 2 months prior to receiving the treatment and for 3 months following treatment with a single dose of the homeopathy treatment.

Effects of Concurrent HIIT and WB-EMS Exercise on the Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Obese Individuals...
Overweight and ObesityMetabolic SyndromeThe main purpose of this study is to compare the impact of concurrent high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and whole-body electromyostimulation exercise (WB-EMS) or low-volume conventional strength training (CST) on the cardiometabolic risk profile, overall physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength), body composition, inflammatory markers and subjective health outcomes after a 12-week intervention trial in overweight individuals at increased cardiometabolic risk. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the influence of intra-session exercise order on all outcomes.

Cardiac Ganglionated Plexus Ablation Before Permanent Pacemaker Implantation in Patients With Sick...
CardioneuroablationPermanent Pacemaker Implantation2 moreDifferent studies for cardiac ganglionated plexus(GP) ablation to treat vagal vascular syncope, sinus node dysfunction, and functional atrioventricular block have been published. Investigators have developed a more specific approach of cardiac, called cardioneuroablation . This treatment is based on a high-frequency stimulation (HFS) and/or anatomical landmarks to identify GPs in left atrium,which being targeted by radiofrequency catheter ablation. The feasibility of GPs ablation/cardioneuroablation has already been tested in our center in former studies in humans,with a favorable outcome for the patients involved. The results of the former studies have been submitted for publication. However, there are no prospective randomized studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrial ganglionated plexus ablation for SSS before permanent pacemaker implantation. The purpose of this study of GAPS in humans is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cardioneuroablation in patients of sick sinus syndrome before they receive a permanent pacemaker.

Comparative Efficacy of PRP and Dry Needling in Management of Trigger Points in Masseter Muscle...
Myofascial Pain SyndromeTitle: Comparative Efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma injection and Dry Needling in management of trigger points in masseter muscle in Myofascial Pain Syndrome patients. Rationale: Pain and trismus caused by Myofascial pain syndrome in masticatory muscles are one of the prime concerns for the patients. In the recent times, Platelet Rich Plasma therapy has been studied extensively and has produced promising results. It is used to promote sarcomere repair by concentrating growth factors and decrease inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory and apoptotic cells. Thus, the present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma injection in trigger points in masseter muscle in myofascial pain syndrome patients. Research Question P: Population (Patients with trigger points in masseter muscle) I: Intervention (PRP injection) C: Control (Dry needling) O: Outcome (Improvement in symptom of pain ) T: Time Frame (1 year) S: Study Design (Randomized clinical trial) Setting in Haryana , India Is Platelet Rich Plasma more effective as compared to dry needling alone in treatment of trigger points in masseter muscle in Myofascial Pain Syndrome patients ?

Telehealth Support to Increase Physical Activity in Rett Syndrome

Metformin in Patients With Fragile X
Fragile X SyndromeThe purpose of this trial is to investigate the use of metformin in the treatment of Fragile X syndrome (FXS) patients. Metformin is an FDA approved compound with an established safety profile and minimal side effects that specifically targets and normalizes multiple aspects of the pathophysiology in FXS. This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 2-arm parallel group design study of the drug metformin and placebo in FXS subjects with a primary outcome measure of safety/tolerability and secondary outcome measures on cognition, attention, anxiety, sleep, and physiologic and biochemical biomarkers.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea (IBS-D)A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study in patients with IBS-D according to Rome IV criteria evaluating the clinical efficacy and safety of oral administration of 2g G-PUR® tid compared to placebo in a cohort of 30 patients over an active treatment period of 12 weeks.

Different Modes of Assessment on Acupuncture Effect on Patients With Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic...
Chronic ProstatitisChronic Pelvic Pain SyndromeBackground: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common disorder. Some studies have indicated that acupuncture may ameliorate the symptoms of CP/CPPS. However, results are varied and range widely, perhaps due to different modes of assessment including timepoints, places of assessment, and especially subjective scales. We propose to determine the efficacy of acupuncture relative to sham acupuncture for patients with CP/CPPS, and compare different modes of assessment regarding the therapeutic effects of acupuncture. Methods: Sixty patients with CP/CPPS will be randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture or sham-acupuncture (30 patients, each). Treatment will be conducted 3 times/week, for 4 weeks. The primary outcomes will each be the change from baseline of the total NIH (National Institutes of Health) CPSI (Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) score associated with 3 modes of assessment: Mode 1, the scale recorded at the hospital within 10minutes after the last session of 4 weeks of acupuncture treatment, in the company of the outcome assessors; Mode 2, the scale recorded the same day, but not at the hospital; and Mode 3, the scale recorded at the hospital 1 to 3 days after the last acupuncture session. The 3 key secondary outcomes include will be the 3 modes assessment of the changes from baseline of the NIH-CPSI total scores in the acupuncture group at week 4 after treatment. Analysis was by intention-to-treat, and multiplicity was controlled for with a step-down closed-testing procedure.
