Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness(ICUAW) encompasses a spectrum of disorders characterized by generalized weakness developing after the onset of critical illness. Pediatric data on the incidence of ICUAW is restricted to isolated case reports and case series of no more than five children. Critical illness polyneuropathy is characterized by reduction in compound motor action potential or sensory nerve action potential or both with preserved conduction velocity on electrophysiological studies. These findings can occur very early prior to the onset of clinical features. Given the dearth of data in children on the subject, this study has been planned to evaluate the incidence of critical illness associated polyneuropathy /myopathy in severely sick children admitted.
This study compares the efficacy of the ultrasound with fluoroscope in guidance of lumbar sympathetic block (LSB). The goals of the study are; 1) To show that US-guided LSB results in shorter performance time compared to fluoroscope-guided LSB, 2) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of US-guided LSB, and 3) To verify that US-guided LSB has similar success rates to fluoroscope-guided LSB. 50 patients who are supposed to undergo LSB due to sympathetically maintained pain, satisfy criteria of inclusion and exclusion, and voluntarily sign the informed consent will be enrolled.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early neuromuscular electrical stimulation is effective in the prevention of neuromuscular weakness in critical ill patients.
The investigators conducted a randomized, Double blind, and Controlled Study to evaluate the Efficacy and safety of Lidocaine Infusion Treatment in Management of Neuropathic pain.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an effective intervention for patients with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and demyelination on nerve conduction studies. All patients will receive both IVIg and placebo for 3 months each, with a 3 month washout period in between.
The proposed study will randomize participants with diabetic peripheral neuropathy into two groups. One group of participants will receive standard-of-care counseling while the other group will undergo supervised exercise and counseling to increase physical activity.
Our aim is to establish multi-center national Egyptian database of information for inherited and acquired neuromuscular diseases in infants and children from 0 to 18 years of age.
Even 20-50% of patients under sedation and mechanical ventilation develops myopathy and / or neuropathy which difficulties both the process of extubation and the functional recovery. The objective of this project is to analyze the effect of muscle electrostimulation (ESM) on muscle weakness acquired in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and its consequences. Study design: a single center, prospective, randomized trial to be held in the ICU of " Universitarian hospital La Fe" in collaboration with the service of Neurophysiology of the hospital. All patients undergoing sedation and mechanical ventilation (with an expected duration longer than 48h) and without any of the exclusion criteria detailed in the Methodology section will be included in the study. The intervention will consist of a muscular electrostimulation with the Super Pro Excel 70,UltratoneTM. The stimulation will be performed in 10 muscle groups (5 per side) following established protocols, at least 5 days a week. We will evaluate muscle strength by Medical Research Council scale, functional capacity by Barthel scale and Neurophaty Disability Scale, all clinical events will be collected and electrophysiologic, echographic and histologic parameters will be measured. The process of extubation will be performed following an established protocol, the duration will be collected as the same manner as ICU.
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
