Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy of reproductive-aged women characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Available guidelines recommend lifestyle intervention although they do not suggest the best dietetic regimen for the treatment of PCOS. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two nutritional protocols, namely Mediterranean Diet and standardized normocaloric Diet in normal weight women with PCOS.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of electroacupuncture to dredge and regulate Dai Meridian combined with lifestyle modification are more effective than lifestyle modification only in the treatment of anovulation and hyperandrogenism due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with abdominal obesity.Two thirds of participants will receive electroacupuncture and lifestyle modification in combination, while the other one third will receive lifestyle modification only.

Fibromyalgia pain syndrome is a common debilitating condition which associates mainly generalised pain, emotional distress and cognitive symptoms. The etiology is unknown, and no specific treatment exists so far. Lately, shock-waves have been used successfully to treat painful skeletal muscle, tendons and fascia, the investigators therefore hypothesize that shock-waves could be useful in alleviating Fibromyalgia pain. Two similar groups of participants bearing the condition will be prospectively compared. The first group will benefit from the application of shock-waves weekly for 12 weeks, the second will not. The investigators intend to study if there is any difference in pain and quality of life between the two groups at the end of the three months.

Single-blind, randomised, single centre, 2-way crossover pilot study to investigate the effectiveness of LAMELLEYE for the treatment of dry eye symptoms in patients with primary Sjögren's Syndrome.

Compared with placebo, evaluate the effects and safety of Ulinastatin(UTI) added to conventional treatment for ARDS; Evaluate the dose response relationship of Ulinastatin for ARDS.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant helps stop the growth of leukemia cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may achieve brand new hematopoietic recovery. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells, resulting in graft versus-host disease. PURPOSE: This study is to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation conditioning when given together with combination chemotherapy and allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute leukemia.

To evaluate the effectiveness of rhGH (Recombinant human growth hormone) injection for improving motor development in patients with PWS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of concomitant administration of prednisolone during use of clomiphene citrate (CC) for induction of ovulation in infertile lean women having CC resistant polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

18-SMI-2013 is a post market, observational, questionnaire based study to assess the effectiveness of the commercially available Axium neurostimulator in the management of chronic pain following lumbar discectomy (Failed Back Surgery Syndrome)

This study aims to test the effectiveness of a single intravenous (IV, through the vein) dose of the study drug, bevacizumab (Avastin), in preventing/reducing the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), in patients with severe sepsis, who are at high risk for developing ARDS. ARDS is a lung disease caused by a lung injury that leads to lung function impairment. The condition the patient has,severe sepsis, is a medical condition associated with an infection characterized as an immune system inflammatory response throughout your whole body that can lead to organ dysfunction, low blood pressure or insufficient blood flow to one or more of your organs.
