Filter by:This study aims to compare the short-term clinical performance of the three contact lenses (Methafilcon A IV, Ocufilcon B 1-day and Omafilcon A 1-day daily disposable).
The purpose of this protocol is to learn about movement intention and volition. To improve such knowledge, investigators will conduct sub-studies using multiple non-invasive methodologies. These results could provide preliminary data for subsequent studies evaluating local and global efficacy of plasticity-inducing treatments for PMD symptoms.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of high-frequency short duration tablet-based speech and language therapy (teleSLT) mixed with cognitive training (teleCT) in chronic stroke patients. Recent studies suggest that chronic stroke patients benefit from SLT with high frequency and that cognitive abilities can play a role in sentence comprehension and production by individuals with aphasia. To investigate the effects of the distribution of training time for teleSLT and teleCT the investigators use two combinations. In the experimental group 80% of the training time will be devoted to teleSLT and 20% to teleCT whereas in the control group 20% of the training time will be devoted to teleSLT and 80% to teleCT. Both groups receive the same total amount and frequency of intervention but with different distributions. At three time points (pre-, post-test and 8 week follow-up) the patients' word finding ability is measured.
The aim of the study was to assess the influence of volatile induction of general anaesthesia with sevoflurane using two different techniques and intravenous anaesthesia with propofol on the possible presence of epileptiform electroencephalograph patterns during the induction of general anaesthesia. We aimed to verify whether presence of epileptiform patterns (EPs) defined as polispikes (PS), rhytmic polispikes (RPS), periodic epileptiform discharges (PED) on Electroencephalographs (EEGs) influence the behaviour of values of the Bispectral Index (BIS), State (SE) and Response (RE), A-line Auto Regressive Index (AAI) derived from middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) during the induction of general anaesthesia using abovementioned techniques and such variations may be useful in detection of presence of EPs.
To demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Embrace device in identifying convulsive seizures (CS) and notifying a caregiver during patient hospitalization at an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU).
The study is intended to characterize sleep, stress, and seizures in daily life with the Empatica Embrace watch and smartphone-based diary-alert system. The primary study objective is to collect and validate biometric signals from epilepsy patients using the Empatica Embrace watch and compare them to ictal events captured from human (patient and caregiver) reports.
This study is conducted to evaluate the seizure-free rate of the 26-week Maintenance Period in untreated participants with partial onset seizures (POS).
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross over study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of everolimus (trough 5-15 ng/mL) given as adjunctive therapy in patients with focal cortical dysplasia type II who already failed more than two antiepileptic drugs and surgery. This study will assess the impact of everolimus to placebo on seizure frequency in focal cortical dysplasia type II. The number of patients who experience seizure reduction of 50% or more will be counted during last 4 weeks of each core phase.
The objective of this study is to test the feasibility and physiological effect of low-frequency (1 Hz) acoustic stimulation delivered during nocturnal NREM sleep in epilepsy patients. The long-term goal is to develop this protocol for daily, long-term use in a home setting, for nocturnal seizure and IED suppression
This trial aims to assess the efficacy and tolerability of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) as an alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for depression. Even with multiple medication trials, 30 - 40% of patients will experience a pharmacologically resistant form of illness. The ineffectiveness of current treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) coupled with the economic burden associated with the disorder engenders a need for novel therapeutic interventions that can provide greater response and remission rates.
