Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the ganglion sphenopalatine block (SPG block) on persistent headache following acute COVID-19 infection.
SAINT-PERU is a triple-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial with two parallel arms to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin in negativizing nasopharyngeal PCR in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The trial is conducted in two national hospitals at Lima-Peru.
This study will monitor physical bio-markers such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature to detect potential COVID-19 infections.
The study consists in a pragmatic superiority randomized controlled trial comparing different strategies of psychotherapy for professionals and students from essential services with high levels of emotional distress during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Therapeutic strategies to be evaluated are Brief Cognitive Behavioral Telepsychotherapy, Brief Interpersonal Telepsychotherapy and Telepsychoeducation, as an active control. Note: This study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre and is originally registered at Plataforma Brasil, a Brazilian study registration platform (under CAAE: 30608420.5.0000.5327). Recruitment began in May 28th 2020.
Despite enormous progress in understanding COVID-19, there is little evidence that a solution, therapeutic or preventive, is close to being achieved. Repurposing of well known, widely available drugs represent an attractive approach to speed up availability of active treatments. Such substances as i.e. hydroxychloroquine and others, are already under investigation and in widespread off label use. For many reasons Methylene blue (MB), the oldest synthetic substance in medicine (1876 synthesized by BASF) is such a promising candidate for an active treatment against SARS-CoV-2 infected people and for COVID-19 patients.
This meta-trial is a prospective collaborative individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and early phase studies. Individual studies will be conducted in multiple countries, including Australia, the UK, the USA, Ireland, Argentina, Brazil and Egypt. Adult patients admitted to the hospital with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, who do not require immediate mechanical ventilation, will be randomised to inhaled nebulised heparin or standard care for up to 21 days or until the patient has no respiratory symptoms. All studies will collect a minimum core dataset. The primary outcome for the meta-trial is the proportion of patients who receive invasive mechanical ventilation censored at day 28. Individual studies may have specific outcome measures in addition to the core set.
This is a single-center, randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of novel PAI-1 inhibitor (TM5614) for high-risk patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard of care plus TM5614 or standard of care plus placebo.
The purpose of this study is to measure how well monoclonal antibodies work, either alone or in combination, against the virus that causes COVID-19. Study drug(s) will be given to participants with early symptoms of COVID-19. Samples will be taken from the back of the nose to determine how much virus is in the body at various times during the study. Participation could last about 12 or 24 weeks and includes at least 1 visit to the study site, with the remainder of assessments performed in the home, local clinic, or by phone.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading worldwide and has become a public health emergency of major international concern. Currently, no specific drugs or vaccines are available. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of natural killer cells patients with COVID-19.
Some patients with COVID-19 have sequelae after the acute phase of infection. These sequelae can be physical (dyspnea, exercise intolerance, abnormal fatigue) but also psychic (anxiety, depression). Systemic sequelae have also been observed in pulmonary, cardiac, hepatic, renal, nervous or immune systems. Respiratory rehabilitation (RR) is indicated in these patients to help their complete recovery without sequelae. These patients' arrival and sanitary constraints imposed by COVID-19 changed the organization of Health Care Centers (HCC). Risk of contagiousness after the acute phase of infection still exists. Consequently, patients must respect a quarantine time on their arrival in HCC and then have no contact with other HCC patients to respect the barrier rules and social distancing measures. HCC accommodation capacities are reduced and this is to the detriment of patients with chronic diseases for whom RR is essential. Certain HCCs saturation can also be responsible for a non-proposal of RR in the care pathway of patients after COVID-19. To cope with the new constraints imposed by Covid-19 pandemic, telemedicine is being developed in the affected industrial countries. Some SRH physicians are starting to offer post-COVID-19 patients the possibility of carrying out a tele-rehabilitation program (TRR). Such a telemedicine program has been validated for people with respiratory failure. It allows the patient to follow his care program without leaving his home and it does not require the visit from a health professional. In addition to reducing the inflow of post COVID-19 patients in HCC, it allows fragile patients to respect social distancing. It could also contain virus spread virus on the territory by reducing patient movements. When choosing between RR and TRR, the clinician must ask himself two questions. Is TRR as efficient as RR for post-COVID-19 patients? Is there a profile of patients for whom either method gives better results? This study proposes to evaluate both methods: a 4-week TRR program vs a conventional RR program in post COVID-19 patients with sequelae. If the hypothesis that both methods have similar effects is verified, this would allow the generalization of the prescription of TRR. The benefits will be individual with greater access to respiratory rehabilitation for post COVID-19 patients. There will also be collective public health benefits by maintaining sufficient access to HCC for patients with chronic diseases.
