Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Type 1 narcolepsy (NT1) is a chronic sleep disorder caused by the selective and irreversible loss of neurons from the hypothalamus, which synthesizes a neurotransmitter: hypocretin (Hcrt) / orexin. The exact cause of this destruction is still unknown, but the autoimmune hypothesis is strongly favored, involving the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The treatment of NT1 is currently only symptomatic, targeting hypersomnolence and cataplexy. To prevent the destruction of Hcrt neurons, immunomodulatory agents have been tested, with varying efficacy, probably due to varying degrees of hypothalamic impairment and stages of disease progression. During microglial activation, a condition associated with neuroinflammation in the brain, there is an increase in the mitochondrial translocation protein (TSPO), which can be quantified in vivo by specific tracers, such as the [18F] DPA- 714, in positron emission tomography (PET), a very sensitive nuclear imaging technique. The aim here is to study microglial activation in PET [18F] DPA-714 in NT1 patients with recent evolution in comparison with controls; then analyze the effect of age, and the severity of symptoms on this PET imaging biomarker. The hypothesis is that microglial activation, especially of the hypothalamic region, is greater in NT1 than controls.

This study is a prospective, randomized trial. Our study aims to study the effects of perioperative patient education about compartment syndrome on patients' perception of their own pain, amount of opioid medication utilization, and rate of diagnosis of compartment syndrome.

This project is based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to screen the effective methods of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye and its applicable conditions, and optimize the traditional Chinese medicine intervention plan for dry eye through the evaluation of evidence-based medicine and expert consensus, and construct the Clinical Decision support system of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye, secondly, a real-world prospective cohort study design is adopted, the CDSS system is used in the ophthalmology clinic, and its practical application effect on patients with dry eye is evaluated.

The menstrual cycle is one of the most important signs of a functioning reproductive system in women, but sometimes this cycle is associated with signs and symptoms that cause physical and psychological problems for women. Considering the high prevalence of PMS among women and the complications of this syndrome on work performance, social and interpersonal relationships and family, and its role in limiting education, social and economic progress in society, 8 weeks of online yoga exercises given online to female students were helpful in reducing PMS symptoms The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and effect on inflammation parameters. The study was planned as an interventional, single-blind, randomized controlled study. The sample size of this study was calculated based on the latest research available on the effect of exercise on PMS (Kamalifard et al.2017). A power analysis was performed in student PMS scores between exercise and control groups and to expect a difference of 80% strength and α = 0.50 and 30%. 80% power (1 - ß) minimum 18 students for each group, total 36 students will be included in the sample.

Investigation of the effect of a 3-month telemedicine-led lifestyle intervention on cardiovascular risk factors, functional indicators, in patients with metabolic syndrome.

In the present investigation the pain reduction effects of a physical therapy technique will be compared to those produced by the absence of treatment, in subjects who suffer the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

This study aims to develop a program of systematic physical exercise maintained for at least 12 weeks to normalize biomarkers of metabolic syndrome; improve neurocognition and social functioning; increase empowerment, self-esteem and self-efficacy and reduce self-stigma in individuals with severe mental disorder with metabolic syndrome.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the administration of 25 g of chia per day, for 90 days on the biochemical components of the metabolic syndrome in subjects with this condition

The investigators will make a prospective study in which they will look at the economics and security of the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome. The investigators want to do a randomized trial. One group will be treated as they have been treated at Ullevål University Hospital (UUS) in recent years, and the other group will be returned to their refering hospital the same day. The objective of this study will be to provide increased knowledge about whether the rapid discharge from the intervention center is associated with differences in costs or security.

There has been no data on effect of Bifidobacterium breve on symptoms of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We hypothesized that Bifidobacterium breve is effective on symptoms of IBS patients.
