Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

To study the effects of Hesperidin supplement in patients with metabolic syndrome, 50 patients will be randomly allocated to control group or 2 capsules Hesperidin for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence the investigators' diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, metabolic factors will be assessed and compared between groups.

This is a experimental study, which subjects are obese PCOS patients requiring LSG surgery. Aim to investigate the effects of LSG surgery in PCOS patients whether increases the live birth rate of the offspring.

The trial aims to examine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The investigators will include 170 participants to receive acupuncture plus usual care or sham acupuncture plus usual care. Twelve sessions of acupuncture will be delivered to participants over a period of 4 weeks. The primary outcome is defined as proportion of participants with adequate relief of global IBS symptoms at week 8, which is defined as >50% reduction in IBS-SSS scale.

Double-blind randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial of 1 mA bilateral supplementary motor area in adolescents/adults with Tourette syndrome (TS). The primary objectives are to assess and quantify the safety and efficacy on tic severity of 5 inhibitory sessions of active vs. sham tDCS sessions during active tic suppression, and to explore the differences in brain functional activity before and after 5 sessions of active or sham cathodal tDCS in adolescents and adults with TS. Secondary objectives include the assessment of the severity of comorbidities after 5 inhibitory tDCS sessions.

We propose to study the use of purified porcine Acthar Gel (ACTHAR, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals) for treatment of steroid resistance nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in a prospective pilot study. We plan to enroll 25 children between the ages of 2 to 21 years. Children fulfilling strict inclusion criteria, whose parents agree to written informed consent after institutional IRB approval for the study, will be enrolled. Purified porcine Acthar Gel will be administered SQ to all children using a defined treatment protocol for a period of six months. Renal function, urine protein excretion, serum albumin levels, blood pressure and growth parameters will be monitored closely on all patients. Baseline urine protein excretion will be compared to end of treatment levels to determine successful response to therapy. There will be an 18 month enrollment period, 6 month treatment period and a 12 month follow-up period.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness on the clinical and biological parameters of reproductive-aged PCOS women after a 12-week metformin and/or probiotics administration.

This Study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CDA-2 in the treatment of International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) Lower/Intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in Chinese patients.

Reliable evaluation of symptoms and their improvement during treatment is crucial in both diagnosing and evaluating response to treatment in IBS. Currently used end-of-day evaluations are considered sub-optimal and the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) was proposed previously as a more accurate symptom assessment method. Aim of this study is to evaluate the responsiveness of the developed ESM-PROM in assessing changes in abdominal pain and stool frequency after linaclotide treatment of IBS-C patients.

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a multisystemic genetic disease characterized by hypotonia, mental retardation, hyperphagia, and uncontrollable hunger due to hypothalamic dysfunction, caused by dysregulation of genes located in chromosome 15q11-q13. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on hyperphagia and behavior in PWS. Forty children and adolescents (11-24 years) with clinical and cytogenetic-molecular diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome will be assessed before and after 10 tDCS session with: Food Craving Questionnaire (FCQ), Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), Dykens hyperphagia questionnaire. Caregivers self-reported the participant's behaviors at home and, lately, they will be categorized and quantified. tDCS will be applied for 20 minutes with electrodes of 25cm2 wrapped in cotton material soaked in saline solution. The anode at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3) and the cathode at the contralateral area (F4). Children from 11-12 years will receive a current of 1mA; above 13 years, 2mA.

The aim of study is to assess the angioprotective effects of antihypertensive combination therapy with perindopril 10 mg and moxonidine 0.4-0.6 mg in patients with arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, who had Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) > 10 m/s on the previously administered two-component combination antihypertensive therapy. Open-label non-comparative prospective study for 24 week for each patient.
