Filter by:Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a complex multifactorial functional disorder, whose pathophysiology is largely associated to an impairment of the intestinal microbiota composition, namely dysbiosis. Thus, the modulation of the gut microbiota has been proposed as a possible therapeutic strategy for IBS patients alongside with current available drugs. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising strategy to restore intestinal eubiosis. In this randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial patients diagnosed with IBS without constipation are assigned with 1:1 ratio to receive FMT from healthy donor or autologous FMT (placebo group) to assess the effectiveness of FMT on IBS symptoms and quality of life, to evaluate the safety of FMT among IBS patients and to estimate any change in the gut microbiota composition of IBS patients after the FMT.
The goal of this randomized clinical controlled trial is to learn about whether neuro-navigation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) was useful to accelerate the recovery in patients with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. The main questions aim to answer: - Question 1: Whether the nrTMS was useful to accelerate the recovery of motor function back to the preoperative status in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. - Question 2: Whether the nrTMS was useful to improve postoperative motor function in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. Participants will continue to receive nrTMS treatment or nrTMS sham-treatment for 7 times on the 8th day after glioma resection to determine whether the TMS was helpful for exercise rehabilitation. The investigator will evaluate the effects of nrTMS treatment through the ratio of recovery of motor function and the time that was from the participants suffering SMA syndrome to totally recover the motor function to the status of motor function in pre-operation.
The purpose of the study is to understand the effect of Metformin on patients with PCOS.
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) was initially described as a clinical syndrome following carotid endarterectomy (CEA), but it may present in both CEA and carotid artery stenting, and is characterised by throbbing ipsilateral frontotemporal or periorbital headache, and sometimes diffuse headache, eye and face pain, vomiting, confusion, macular oedema, and visual disturbances, focal motor seizures with frequent secondary generalisation, focal neurological deficits, and intracerebral or subarachnoid haemorrhage. Knowledge of CHS among physicians is limited. Most studies report incidences of CHS of 1-3% after carotid endarterectomy. CHS is most common in patients with increases of more than 100% in perfusion compared with baseline after carotid revascularization procedures and is rare in patients with increases in perfusion less than 100% compared with baseline. The pathophysiological mechanism of CHS remains only partially understood. The chronic lowflow state induced by severe carotid disease results in a compensatory dilation of cerebral vessels distal to the stenosis, as part of the normal autoregulatory response, to maintain adequate cerebral blood flow (CBF). In this chronically dilated state, the vessels lose their ability to autoregulate vascular resistance in response to changes in blood pressure. In fact, it has been shown that this dysautoregulation is proportional to the duration and severity of chronic hypoperfusion. After revascularization and reperfusion, the impaired cerebral autoregulation could then contribute to a cascade of intracranial microcirculatory changes, as explained above, with an inability of reaction toward the augmentation of the CBF after the carotid recanalization. Although most patients have mild symptoms and signs, progression to severe and life-threatening symptoms can occur if CHS is not recognised and treated adequately. Because CHS is a diagnosis based on several non-specific signs and symptoms, patients may be misdiagnosed as having one of the better-known causes of perioperative complications like thromboembolism.
Background: Symptomatic hypermobility may lead to a number of restrictions in daily life. So far, there is a lack of effective treatments. A whole-body dynamic stability exercise intervention targets to stimulate the dynamic stability and activation of the proprioceptive system and thereby intends to improve patients' health. The aim of the current study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability and impact of a whole-body dynamic stability exercise intervention in patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorder. The aim of the current study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability and impact of a dynamic stability exercise intervention in patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorder. Methods: This is a mixed-methods feasibility study. Fifteen patients (14 women and 1 man) with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or hypermobility spectrum disorder and chronic pain were recruited from two pain specialist clinics in the South-East of Sweden. A dynamic stability exercise program for daily home-exercise was applied during five physiotherapist led sessions distributed over seven weeks. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) included pain and function, psychological well-being and quality of life. The clinical tests included walking and balance. Through qualitative interviews patients and physiotherapists described their experiences of the assessments and intervention. Assessments were done at baseline, after the intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up.
Peppermint oil has shown to be effective in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms in adults. Few studies of low quality are performed in an paediatric setting. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized, placebo controlled trial to investigate the effects of an eight-week peppermint oil treatment in paediatric IBS or Functional Abdominal Pain - Not otherwise specified (FAP-NOS) patients.
Individuals affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection may subsequently be affected by the so-called post-COVID syndrome. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of a multimodal 10-week group program consisting of self-help strategies based on complementary medicine approaches of TEM (Traditional European Medicine), TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and TIM (Traditional Indian Medicine) in addition to treatment as usual versus treatment as usual alone (no active study intervention/waiting list). Endpoints of the study include subjective quantitative and qualitative as well as objective (physician-reported) variables.
The primary purpose of The PCOS Challenge Study will be to conduct high-quality research where patients are included in the design, and answering the questions that patients identify as important to their lived experience with PCOS. In partnership with clinical investigators, patients will work on the development and management of data collection, the research agenda, and the sharing of research findings. The PCOSC Study will promote the advancement of research that provides reliable, useful, and meaningful information to patients with PCOS and their clinicians. The population for The PCOS Challenge Study will include individuals with a clinical diagnosis of PCOS, individuals self-diagnosed with PCOS, individuals with symptoms of PCOS (e.g., hirsutism, irregular menstrual cycles), and demographic-matched controls without PCOS.
The purpose of this study is to examine if it is feasible to administer decitabine and filgrastim after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) in children and young adults with myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia and related myeloid disorders, and if the treatment is effective in preventing relapse after HCT. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Decitabine (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor) - Filgrastim (a recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of compression stockings on the complaints, well-being and sleep quality of pregnant women with restless legs syndrome (RLS). The research is a pretest-posttest randomized placebo-controlled experimental study. The study will be carried out with a total of 70 people, 35 in the compression stocking group and 35 in the placebo stocking group. Study data will be collected with RLS Diagnostic Criteria Questionnaire Form, Research Criteria Compliance Form, Personal Information Form, RLS Severity Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), WHO-5 and Implementation Satisfaction Form. Pregnant women in both groups will wear the stockings given for three weeks after the first interview. Data analysis obtained in the research will be performed in TURCOSA statistical software (Turcosa Analytics Ltd Co, Turkey, www.turcosa.com.tr).In comparisons, a value of p <0.05 will be considered statistically significant. In order to conduct the study, the necessary Academic Committee decision, Ethics Committee approval (December 08, 2021 and number 2021/781) and institutional permission were obtained.
