Filter by:This is a randomized control trial (RCT) that studies the surgical conditions during moderate and deep neuromuscular blockade in 100 morbidly obese patients receiving elective laparoscopic surgery for bariatric surgery.
The investigator planned to study the efficiency of folinic acid treatment on autistic symptoms in children suffering from autism spectrum disorder.
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), especially when oxygen delivery is low, is associated with acute kidney injury. Unpublished data shows that renal oxygen delivery is compromised during CPB due to low hematocrit and redistribution of blood flow away from the kidneys. We wish to study if increased CPB flow can improve renal oxygenation. Patients who develop cardiac failure after weaning from CPB will be treated as per our departments routine with the inotropic agent milrinone, and measurements will be made before and after treatment.
Development and Clinical Evaluation of the Stemina Metabolic Biomarker-Based Test to Diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder in Early Childhood.
This was a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, 2-period, 2-treatment, crossover study to evaluate safety and efficacy of CTN SR compared with placebo in adults with ADHD. Efficacy was also evaluated in the subgroup of adults with ADHD treated with a target CTN SR dose of 400 mg/day.
Depression is a common disorder, especially in old age, where it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study will investigate whether there are features of individual patients with major depression that may predict positive treatment response. The study will invite 40 patients who have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder with onset after the age of 60 years to participate. Participants will be recruited from the Mental Health of Older Adults services at the South London and Maudsley NHS Mental Health Foundation Trust. Participants will receive usual treatment as set out in standard Care Pathways, used by the clinical care team. As part of the study, they will undergo a short battery of neuropsychological tests and a standard MRI brain imaging protocol. The neuropsychological tests and assessment of depression severity will be carried out twice (at Baseline and Week 12). Data will be analysed to investigate whether there are features specific to those patients who show a good response to antidepressant treatment after 12 weeks. Identification of such predictors may help to stratify treatment approaches in the future and lead to the early identification of individual patients who may require alternative treatment approaches to standard antidepressants.
The objective of this research is to develop original virtual reality scenarios and/or new virtual reality equipments to evaluate or diagnose pathologies, such as attention deficit disorders or neuropsychiatric pathologies, addiction, anxiety or depression or pathologies interfering with sleep/wake disorders.
The purpose of this study is two-fold: first, to observe the effect of one session of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the error-prediction abilities of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) as well as healthy individuals; and second, to observe the clinical effect of 10 sessions of rTMS in patients with OCD.
The overall goal of this project is to develop initial human data on effects of novel compounds on safety (interactions with cocaine) and efficacy (subjective response to cocaine and self administration data) in non-treatment seeking cocaine use disorder subjects. The compound to be studied will be the 5-HT2CR agonist lorcaserin. Lorcaserin and other 5-HT2CR agonists have been shown to reduce cocaine self-administration and cue reactivity in rodents. In addition there is human safety data in non-cocaine using subjects for lorcaserin as it is currently FDA approved for obesity, and safety data from a cocaine interaction study in rodents , but there is no human cocaine interaction/PK data and no PD data to support potential dosages for phase II clinical trials.
This study will evaluate the safety, effectiveness and tolerance of low doses of oral naltrexone along with buprenorphine to treat opioid use disorder prior to the first injection of VIVITROL.
