NCT ID: NCT06257420 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Rapamycin in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

ME/CFS
Start date: December 11, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to assess the clinical response and the effect of autophagy function in ME/CFS patients before, during and throughout oral low dose sirolimus (rapamycin) therapy. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does rapamycin reduce the overall symptom burden of ME/CFS and does it improve the quality of life? - Does rapamycin change mTOR driven autophagy deficits observed in a subset of ME/CFS patients? Participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires and quality of life instruments before starting rapamycin therapy prescribed by their physician and throughout their course of treatment. Study blood samples will be collected before starting therapy and throughout the course of treatment to assess serological markers of autophagy.

Psychoneuromentalism Disorder: A Medical Condition That Affects People With Psychological Impairments From Health Issues

PNMD
Start date: January 21, 2024
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Psychoneuromentalism Disorder is a disorder arising in the mind; that is related to the mental and emotional state of a person. It is the science of mental life. The body has a natural design to heal itself. This is a mental phenomena that cannot be explained, until now. Psychoneuromentalism Disorder is a new condition resulting from behavioral impairments, neurodiversity, and neurobehavioral dysfunctions that are related to the mental and emotional state of a participant.

NCT ID: NCT06227273 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Hydrogen Water Dosing Study for ME/CFS

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

The aim of this 16-week pilot randomized trial is to explore the potential benefit of the OTC supplement hydrogen water, for the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Methods: This 16-week home-based trial will compare two groups: (1) low dose hydrogen water (2-3 glasses/day) for all 16 weeks; and (2) low dose followed by high dose hydrogen water (up to 5 glasses/day). Condition (2) involves an initial 8 weeks of low dose H2 followed by 8 weeks of high dose H2 in order to test the premise that the higher dosage will be more effective with fewer adverse effects if preceded by several weeks of low dose H2. Outcomes measures will include online assessments of fatigue, physical function and stress. A salivary biomarker for oxidative stress, Uric Acid, will also be assessed.

NCT ID: NCT06211062 Recruiting - Clinical trials for IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The Use of Directed Probiotics in ME/CFS: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Start date: December 20, 2022
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This clinical study aims to evaluate the use of i3.1 probiotic in participants who meet the Institute of Medicine (Canadian Consensus Criteria) case definition for ME/CFS and who may or may not be diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - how effective is the usage of the i3.1 probiotic to reduce gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation and normalize the GI and systemic/brain interface? - how well is it working on IBS severity? The study sample is 100 male and female participants aged 45 to 70 years with ME/CFS (per the Canadian Consensus Criteria); one-half of the participants will have co-morbid IBS (per Rome IV criteria). Participants will receive an i3.1 or a placebo and be assessed at baseline, at eight weeks, and at 12 weeks (four weeks post-treatment completion).

NCT ID: NCT06170645 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a Complementary Therapy to Exercise in Chronic Fatigue

PAF-tVNS
Start date: February 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic fatigue is enhanced by adapted physical activity (APA) programs. Patients consulting on St Etienne hospital and suffering from fibromyalgia and long Covid benefit from a 4-6 week APA program, with 2 sessions per week. While most patients are improved by these exercise-training programs, for some the benefits remain very modest, and patients describe persistent fatigue. The literature unanimously describes the necessity of longer APA protocols (8-12 weeks, 2-3 sessions/week) for fatigue reduction in fibromyalgia and long Covid. However, it seems difficult to adhere to an optimal program as described in the literature for these fatigued patients. The investigators want to test a device that would both reduce fatigue and improve recovery between APA sessions, in order to gradually reach the recommendations for APA practice. Transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) seems to be a promising approach. Thus, combining an APA intervention with a tVNS protocol could potentiate the expected and now well-known effect of exercise.

A Feasibility Study: Assessing Photobiomodulation in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

LightMEup
Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There is no cure or approved treatments for ME. Several causes have been implicated in ME, including poor mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells, producing energy. Therefore, loss of mitochondrial function and reduced energy production could be an explanation for the debilitating chronic fatigue that defines ME. The primary site of red light absorption in cells is the mitochondria. Mitochondrial red light absorption can boost energy production. Light therapy is already FDA approved for the treatment of acne, muscle and joint pain, arthritis, blood circulation issues and hair loss. This is the first study to trial the use of red light therapy in ME and results will help us understand if the use of red light therapy is accepted by ME patients. In past clinical trials the monitoring of symptom reduction/increase in ME patients was mainly done using symptom questionnaires. These questionnaires have not been specifically developed for ME symptoms and therefore the reliability of results is poor. This study will be assessing the use of a new symptom questionnaire developed specifically for ME and will also be trialling the use of other tools to measure symptom reduction/increase. In addition, this study will also trial the use of Mantal, an online remote research management portal. This is to improve accessibility of ME patients to research participation. Each ME participants involvement in the study should take approximately 7 weeks. Involvement is split into four phases: 1) baseline, 2) intervention, 3) follow-up and 4) feedback. Baseline assessments: - Week one: complete a 27-item questionnaire on functional capacity (FUNCAP27) and online cognitive function tests - Week two: participants are posted an activity monitor which they are to wear for seven days. Participants will complete a sleep diary (consensus sleep diary version E) for seven days Intervention: - Participants are posted the red lamp to use in their own homes during weeks three and four. Participants use the red lamp for two minutes, daily, each morning for a total of 14 days. Follow-up: - Weeks five and six - Repeating the baseline assessments Feedback: - Participants are asked to complete an online questionnaire during week seven.

NCT ID: NCT06128967 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

A Multicenter, Adaptive, Randomized, doublE-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study in Participants With Long COVID-19: The REVIVE Trial

REVIVE
Start date: October 18, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Date of notification letter to the IRB informing start of recruitment activities: October 21, 2023. Long COVID is a multi-systemic condition comprising often severe and persistent symptoms (longer than 12 weeks) that follow a known episode of COVID-19 and cannot be explained by another medical condition. This condition is observed in up to 15% of all individuals after an acute episode of COVID-19, even in those who had a mild and oligosymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Around 40% of these patients present symptoms that significantly compromise their daily activities. There is increasing evidence that LONG COVID is accompanied by dysregulated, persistent and uncontrolled inflammation, often accompanied by the development of an autoreactive immune response, including autoantibodies. Symptoms can last months or years, particularly in cases of chronic fatigue syndrome, with significant proportions of individuals having significant chronic impairment, preventing the performance of work and social activities.

NCT ID: NCT06118138 Recruiting - Post-COVID ME/CFS Clinical Trials

Hyperbaric High Pressure Oxygen Therapy in Post-COVID Syndrome and ME/CFS

Start date: July 15, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The objective of this observational study is to document symptom progression in 60 patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) who undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) following COVID or other infections. Participants will receive HBOT treatment as an additional option after completing the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CARE (CFS_CARE) study and will be invited to take part in this observational study. Patients will complete health evaluations in the form of questionnaires, including the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), to assess changes in ME/CFS-related symptoms after HBOT. Rather than evaluating the efficacy of HBOT itself, the study will focus on observing and documenting these changes. Its goal is to offer valuable insights into symptom progression in ME/CFS patients receiving HBOT, which can serve as a foundation for future interventional randomized controlled trials.
