NCT ID: NCT05059652 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Ischemic Preconditioning

Effects of Ischemic Preconditioning on Conditioned Pain Modulation and Heart Rate Variability in Knee Osteoarthritis

Start date: August 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders have affected approximately 1.3 billion people worldwide. Evidence shows that chronic diseases and musculoskeletal conditions often occur together, and among them it is estimated that more than 240 million people worldwide have symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) and activity limitation, which is a major contributor to chronic pain and changes central in pain processing. It is known that physical exercise (active approach to treatment) and manual therapy (passive approach) are capable of intervening in the pain processing system, but passive approaches have been little investigated. Among them, little is known about the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) for pain management and its impact on conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and cardiac autonomic control. There is no evidence that IPC causes systemic hypoalgesia and increased vagal modulation, so this provides a rationale for study. Objectives: To analyze the acute effect of IPC on local pain, CPM and cardiac autonomic control in women with knee OA and observe whether there is a correlation between them. Methods: Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Participants will be divided into IPC or placebo groups. Outcomes evaluated: CPM and cardiac autonomic modulation. Comparisons will be performed using Generalized Mixed Linear Models fitted to the data. For correlation, the Pearson or Spearman correlation test will be used according to the normality of the data. All analyzes will assume a significance level of p<0.05.

NCT ID: NCT05037799 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Ischemic Heart Disease

Dose Optimization for Rubidium PET Imaging in Patients With Known or Suspected Ischemic Heart Disease

RUBY-DOSE
Start date: July 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Selection of the appropriate administered activity for each patient's body habitus is very important to obtain diagnostic image quality. Current SPECT imaging guidelines suggest "…an effort to tailor the administered activity to the patient's habitus and imaging equipment should be made… [however] strong evidence supporting one particular weight-based dosing scheme does not exist." An increase in body weight leads to higher fractions of attenuated and scattered photons, resulting in lower quality PET images for a given injected activity. Weight-based tracer dosing is commonly recommended as a solution in whole-body PET imaging with F-18-FDG. In contrast, Rb-82 PET imaging has traditionally been performed using a single dose (e.g. 40 mCi) administered for all patients but this is known to result in lower count-density and image quality in larger patients. This effect can be mitigated to some degree by administration of Rb-82 activity as a proportion of body weight while maintaining accuracy for the detection of disease. The objective of this project is to determine whether Rb-82 activity administered as a squared function of patient weight (quadratic dosing) can standardize PET myocardial perfusion image quality over a wide range of body weights. Sequential patients referred for dipyridamole stress Rb-82 PET perfusion imaging at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Patients will be divided into 4 weight groups to determine if there are significance differences in image quality or accuracy of injected Rb-82 activity between patients. Twelve (12) patients will be recruited in each of the 4 weight groups (3 in each 10 kg interval) to uniformly sample the full range of patient weights from 30 to 190 kg. Based on the previous oncology PET literature image quality is not expected to change as a function of weight, i.e. SNR and CNR will be proportional to weight0 (no weight-dependence) with quadratic dosing of Rb-82. Two operators will perform the PET image analysis as described above.

NCT ID: NCT05031026 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Liver Transplant; Complications

the aim of the study is to approve the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine can protect against glycocalyx degradation induced by hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury and hence can reduce the subsequent complications as early allograft dysfunction, other organ dysfunction and hemodynamic instability

NCT ID: NCT05009602 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Peripheral Arterial Disease

Diagnostic Tools to Establish the Presence and Severity of Peripheral Arterial Disease in People With Diabetes

DM PAD
Start date: March 14, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In the UK there are over 7,000 leg amputations each year because of diabetes. The most important cause of this is poor circulation. The detection of poor circulation in patients with diabetes is difficult. A number of tests exist to detect poor circulation (known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD)). However, there is confusion as to which is the gold standard. The DM PAD study aims to determine the diagnostic performance of index tests (audible handheld Doppler, visual handheld Doppler, ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI), exercise ABPI and toe brachial pressure index (TBPI)) for the diagnosis of PAD in patients with diabetes as determined by a reference test (CTA or MRA).

NCT ID: NCT04941157 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Spinal Cord Ischemia

Prophylactic vs Therapeutic Cerebrospinal Fluid Drain Placement During Endovascular Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a pilot study to be performed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and the University of Massachusetts to determine the feasibility and develop the processes for a future randomized controlled trial to evaluate the occurrence of spinal cord ischemia after endovascular thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair using prophylactic cerebrospinal fluid drains versus no pre-emptive drain. The research question to be addressed is as follows: In the setting of a comprehensive spinal cord ischemia prevention protocol, do prophylactic CSF drains decrease the rate of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) in patients undergoing endovascular thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair?

NCT ID: NCT04894877 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

ISCHEMIA-EXTEND (Extended Follow-up)

Start date: July 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches (ISCHEMIA) Extended Follow-up (ISCHEMIA-EXTEND) is the long-term follow-up of randomized, surviving participants in ISCHEMIA. ISCHEMIA was an NHLBI-supported trial that randomized 5,179 participants with stable ischemic heart disease to two different management strategies: 1) an initial invasive strategy (INV) of cardiac catheterization and revascularization when feasible plus guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), or 2) an initial conservative strategy (CON) of GDMT. The trial did not demonstrate a reduction in the primary endpoint with an initial invasive strategy. There was an excess of procedural myocardial infarction (MI) and a reduction in spontaneous MI in the INV group. Prior evidence suggests that spontaneous MI carries a higher risk of subsequent death than procedural MI. There was a late separation in the cardiovascular (CV) mortality curves over a median of 3.2 years follow-up in ISCHEMIA. The MI incidence curves crossed at approximately 2 years. However, during the trial follow-up phase there were excess non-CV deaths in the invasive strategy. Therefore, it is imperative to ascertain long-term vital status to provide patients and clinicians with robust evidence on whether there are differences between management strategies and to increase precision around the treatment effect estimates for risk of all-cause, CV and non-CV death over the long-term. Overarching Goal: To assess the effect of an initial invasive strategy on long-term all-cause, CV and non-CV mortality compared with an initial conservative strategy in SIHD patients with at least moderate ischemia on stress testing, over 10 years median follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT04876638 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia

Minocycline for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (MASH)

Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Previous work has demonstrated patients presenting with ruptured aneurysms that develop radiographic and clinical vasospasm have a higher permeability of the blood brain membrane. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) has been studied and recently implicated in both the pathogenesis of the blood brain barrier breakdown and vasogenic edema of ischemia strokes, and is suggested to be an accurate biomarker to predict the onset of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage. The therapeutic benefit of minocycline, an MMP9 inhibitor, has been investigated in ischemic stroke population, however its role in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm from ruptured aneurysms remains unknown. Our project has two main goals: to further confirm MMP9 has a reliable biomarker for the onset of cerebral vasospasm, and secondarily to investigate any possible therapeutic benefit that minocycline has in the vasospasm population. Vasospasm continues to be one of the major contributors of morbidity and mortality in the ruptured aneurysm population, and close monitoring of the neurologic exam during the 'vasospasm window' usually requires two weeks in the intensive care unit in most academic settings. As such, if we are better able to predict which patients are at risk of developing vasospasm based on MMP9 levels, we will be better able to anticipate the need for intervention and therefore mitigate the risk of vasospasm induced ischemic strokes, ultimately resulting in better outcomes in the ruptured aneurysm population. Further, if we are able to identify minocycline as a therapeutic agent to deter, or lessen the severity of vasospasm, we can possibly improve neurologic outcomes, decrease hospital stays, ultimately providing an improved and more cost-effective treatment strategy to our patients.
