NCT ID: NCT05962957 Recruiting - Parkinson Disease Clinical Trials

Pentoxifylline and Parkinsonism

Start date: August 7, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease clinically characterized by bradykinesia, hypokinesia, rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability. These motor manifestations are attributed to the degeneration and selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), leading to a dopamine (DA) deficiency in the striatum. The environmental factors are the most common risk factor for Parkinson's disease, while hereditary determinants have minor role for disease. Furthermore, the clinical diagnosis of PD rests on the identification of characteristics related to dopamine deficiency. However, nondopaminergic and nonmotor symptoms, including cognitive dysfunction and depression, which is one of the most common and persistent symptoms, are sometimes present at an earlier disease stage and, almost inevitably, emerge with the disease progression. Neuroinflammation is considered one of the most important factors contributing critically to pathophysiology of PD . Recently, high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) protein has been encoded as a potential inflammatory biomarker in PD. HMGB1 mediates immune response mostly through endothelial cells and macrophage activation via targeting two vital cell receptors; Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and advanced glycation end products (RAGE). HMGB1 leads to a sequential cascade of inflammatory response through enhanced release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukins (ILs), prominently IL-1β and IL-6. HMGB1 mediated also up-regulation of nuclear factor kappa-β (NF-κB) with subsequent flared pro-inflammatory storm.

NCT ID: NCT05962567 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Periodontal Disease Stage 2

Interleukin-34 Level in Periodontal Disease

Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Aim of the study: 1. To investigate changes in the levels of Interleukin 34 (IL-34) in the Gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) of patients with stage II periodontitis patients before and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy and compare it with healthy individuals 2. To correlate changes in Gingival crevicular fluid level of Interleukin 34 with changes in periodontal parameters after nonsurgical periodontal therapy

NCT ID: NCT05961891 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Finger Tip Amputations

The Use of Composite Bone and Nail Bed Graft Combined With Cutaneous Flaps for Reconstruction of Finger Tip Amputations

Start date: July 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Fingertip injuries are among the most common hand injuries regardless of age, as the fingertip is a prominent and frequently used part of the hand. However, no consensus yet exists regarding the ideal reconstruction of fingertip injuries with nail bed defects, and its reconstructive methods are limited. Allen has classified fingertip amputations into four types. Type I injuries involve only the pulp of the finger. Type II includes pulp and nail loss. Type III has partial terminal phalanx loss and corresponding pulp and nail loss. Finally, type IV involves the lunule of the nail, pulp, nail, and partial loss of the terminal phalanx. Fingertip amputations through the proximal half of the nail-bed are challenging as the remaining nail-bed has inadequate length for satisfactory nail growth. Replantation at this level gives a good functional and cosmetic results but is technically demanding, requires microsurgical skills and adequate facilities and is not always possible.When replantation is not possible, the use of a local advancement palmar flap preserves digital length and the remaining nail bed. However, when the amputation is through the proximal third of the nail, this technique leaves very little nail bed and nail deformities are common.To avoid these deformities, complete ablation of the nail bed and germinal matrix with closure by a palmar advancement flap, or by shortening, are usually carried out. Unfortunately, these treatments often fail to satisfy the patient's desire to retain his or her nail. When replantation is not feasible, the technique of advancing a palmar V-Y flap and applying the nail bed retrieved from the amputated part to the dorsum of the flap provides an alternative means of restoring nail bed length. So the technique of using composite bone and nail bed graft from the amputated part with a local or regional cutaneous flaps may be an option for treatment of fresh fingertip amputation to restore the shape and preserve the length of the fingertip especially in circumstances when microsurgical replantation is not feasible.

NCT ID: NCT05961436 Recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

Pericapsular Nerve Group Block vs Femoral Nerve Block for Perioperative Pain Management in Patients With Hip Fracture.

Start date: June 30, 2023
Phase: N/A

Skillful Neglect Vs Repair For Subscapularis Tear Associated With Posterosuperior Cuff Tears Repair.

Start date: September 30, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare functional outcomes of Skillful Neglect & arthroscopic repair of upper border subscapularis tear in La fosse type 1 and type 2 with biceps tenotomy in non-athletes,30 shoulders subdivided randomly into 2 groups, 15 patients in group 1 (patient treated by skillful neglect with biceps tenotomy) and 15 patients in group 2 (patients treated by arthroscopic repair with biceps tenotomy)

NCT ID: NCT05960292 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Vaginal Vault Prolapse

Laparoscopic Versus Vaginal Approach Closure Complications

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Hysterectomy is considered as a common operation in Gynecology. Hysterectomy could be made by vaginally, laparoscopically or abdominally. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologist advises the use of a minimally invasive technique for the sake of women and to decrease hospital stay and costs.

NCT ID: NCT05959967 Recruiting - Vestibular Disorder Clinical Trials

Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises vs. General Fitness Training on Dizziness, Balance Confidence, and Mobility in Individuals With Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction

Start date: July 25, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises (VRE) and General Fitness Training (GFT) in adults diagnosed with vestibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does VRE lead to better improvements in gaze stabilization, balance, and gait than GFT? Does GFT lead to more improvements in overall fitness than VRE? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the VRE or GFT group and will participate in 60-minute exercise sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the improvements in the two groups to see which intervention is more effective.
