Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare implementation of a Decision Support System (DSS) - aligned to the 2019 ESC/EAS Guidelines - in addition to routine clinical care versus routine clinical care without availability of a DSS, in participants aged ≥18 to < 80 years old presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - to assess whether the availability of a DSS (which provides estimates of risk and estimates of potential benefit through LDL-C lowering) to current practice results in an increase in the early initiation of combination Lipid Lowering Therapies (LLTs) or intensification of LLT regimens compared to current practice alone over a 24-week period after an Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) event - To estimate in the study cohort the potential benefits of guideline-based LLT intensification via simulation-based methods using estimates of baseline risk: LLT utilisation, additional LDL-C reductions and LDL-C goal achievement, on simulated risk of CV events through modelling. Participants will give consent to randomised clinical sites to collect their data. The clinical sites will either be randomised to standard of care or the availability of and access to the DSS. Researchers will compare patients from DSS and Non-DSS sites to see if the availability of the DSS results in implementation of more intensive lipid lowering regimens, resulting in the achievement of lower LDL-C values as well as the proportion of patients who reach target LDL-C levels (<1.4 mmol/L (<55 mg/dL) by Week 24.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab(RTX) and mycophenolate mofetile(MMF) in the treatment of children with low-dose steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome(SDNS).
This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, active comparator-controlled, phase 4 clinical trial to evaluate the blood pressure control of Telmisartan or Losartan in essential hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome
TARGET-METABOLIC is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with metabolic syndrome and related conditions.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to figure out how does the selection of lower-extremity biomechanical variables presented by dynamic knee valgus, tibial torsion and navicular drop may influence pain, disability, and balance in women with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods: Sixty-five women with patellofemoral pain syndrome will be evaluated for lower limb biomechanical variables.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and safety of immunoadsorption for the treatment of post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Efficacy will be measured (1) subjectively as an improvement of the score of questionnaires like the multidimensional fatigue inventory (MFI-20), Chalder fatigue scale, Bell-score, modified medical research council dyspnea scale (mMRC) and the Post-COVID functional scale (PCFS) and (2) objectively as an improvement in neurocognitive testing with the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and the improvement of the hand-grip strength. The study comprises 2 sub-studies, each with an identical design, including 40 participants each. The only difference between the sub-studies is the systems and adsorbers used for immunoadsorption and sham treatment. Participants with symptoms of PCS and a PCFS score of at least 2 will be included in each group. After excluding other causes of the symptoms and evaluating the baseline burden of symptoms, each participant will undergo 5 sessions of immunoadsorption with an immunoglobulin-binding adsorber and 5 sham treatments, or vice versa. The order of treatments (immunoadsorption first or sham first) will be randomized. Each participant will be blinded to the type of treatment they receive. An 8-week therapy-free period will separate the two treatment blocks. All examinations will be conducted before the first treatment, 2 weeks after the first treatment cycle, before the second treatment cycle, and 2 and 6 weeks after the second treatment cycle. The results of the study will inform future treatment strategies for PCS and will contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiological insights behind the ongoing symptoms.
In a randomized study the investigators aim to characterize the effect of antidepressive medicine on quality of life, body composition, adrenal activity and glucose metabolism in PCOS. PCOS is a common endocrine disorder characterized by adrenal and ovarian hyperandrogenaemia, anovulation and insulin resistance. The pathogenesis of PCOS may be described by a vicious cycle involving insulin resistance which stimulates ovarian and adrenal hyper androgenaemia and leads to abdominal obesity, causing increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Adrenal hyperactivity is associated with depression. Antidepressive medicine may normalize pituitary-adrenal activity and in animal studies antidepressive medicine improved adrenal hyperactivity and normalized insulin sensitivity.
Following acute COVID-19, some patients develop a group of debilitating symptoms that include fatigue, orthostatic intolerance, difficulty with attention and concentration (often called "brain fog"), myalgias and disrupted sleep. The term Long COVID is used to describe these symptoms after the initial viral infection has passed. These symptoms are the same as those that define myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). A "Proof of Concept" trial showed significant fatigue benefit in Long COVID patients. This randomized, placebo controlled follow-on trial will determine whether oxaloacetate can reduce fatigue and improve other symptoms in patients with Long COVID who meet diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that happens when the median nerve in the wrist gets compressed, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. It's a common condition that affects between 3% and 6% of people in the general population. During pregnancy, CTS can be a bigger problem because hormonal changes can cause swelling and put more pressure on the median nerve. Studies show that CTS can affect up to 45% of pregnant women, making it important to identify and manage. CTS can be diagnosed through a physical exam by a doctor, who will check for symptoms like pain, tingling, or weakness in the hand and fingers. Ultrasound can also be used to diagnose CTS by measuring the size of the median nerve in the wrist. This is a non-invasive imaging technique that is generally considered reliable for diagnosing CTS. In previous studies, ultrasound has been used to measure the size of the median nerve in pregnant women with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, a new ratio of median nerve cross-sectional area to flexor carpi radialis cross-sectional area (MN-CSA/FCR-CSA) has not been studied in pregnant women. This ratio may be a more sensitive diagnostic tool for CTS because it is not affected by swelling, which is a common symptom during pregnancy that can affect the size of the median nerve.
The study hypothesizes that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination poisoning hibernates in human host in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C). The clinical trial is a follow-up from the intervention trial with NCT number NCT05711810. It tests the use of Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets for detoxification and prevention of blood acidification, and the use of the Chinese herb compounded Anti-Viral Granules for the detoxification in the endocrine system.
