Filter by:Low back pain can persist in some patients with history of back surgery. In some cases, an increase in pain may even occur, and chronic pain may make treatment more difficult. A component of chronic pain is neuropathic pain, and its specific evaluation and treatment is important. Low back pain and radicular pain in the lower extremities are the main symptoms of failed back surgery syndrome (also called persistent spinal pain syndrome in new terminology). There are many methods for treatment of failed back surgery syndrome, such as analgesic medications, physical therapy, interventional pain treatment applications, and re-surgery options. Epidural pulsed radiofrequency therapy has recently become popular among interventional pain management procedures, and studies on its effectiveness are increasing. However, studies with a multifaceted approach that also evaluate neuropathic pain are lacking in the literature. In this study, it was planned to investigate the effect of epidural pulsed radiofrequency therapy on pain palliation, including neuropathic pain, in patients diagnosed with failed back surgery syndrome.
Three recent prospective "transplant/no transplant" studies concluded to an advantage of OS with transplantation in patients with high or intermediate-2 IPSS risk (not significant in Kröger's study). No prospective randomized trial has assessed the pre-transplant therapy in MDS patients yet but some information can be extracted from these 3 recent studies. In the French study (n=162), 72% patients with a donor received HSCT, previously treated by hypomethylating agent (HMA) in 71% of them. There was a trend to a better survival in patients achieving a complete remission with pre-graft therapy (HR: 0.55, p=0.088) and higher risk of death in unresponsiveness patients transformed into AML (HR: 2.36, p=0.008). In Nakamura's study (n=384), 83% of patients with a donor were transplanted, previously treated by HMA in 68%2. The multivariable Cox model for Overall Survival (OS) and Leukemia-free survival showed an excess risk in patients treated by HMA. Moreover, responders still have a higher risk of mortality as compared to patients who did not receive any pre-graft therapy (HR: 2.417, p=0.0054). In the German study, the aim was to initiate azacytidine at inclusion and to transplant patients after 4 cycles if a donor was identified1. Among 170 registered patients, 162 initiated 5-aza but 36% of them were "lost during this pre-graft therapy" before allocation to "donor" or "no-donor" arm, for different reasons including death (n=12). After 4 cycles of 5-aza, 79/81 patients "donor arm" were transplanted. The multivariable analysis showed remission status did not influence OS. Those 3 previous clinical trials thus suggest that a substantial number of patients planned for transplantation are not transplanted nowadays while no evidence of HMA benefit before HSCT has been clearly identified. This phase 2 study aim to assess the feasibility of upfront HSCT in patients with high risk MDS in order to increase the probability to be transplanted and to achieve a subsequent remission and better survival.
Thorathic fluid content measurement using indirect cardiometry is required for prediction of Weaning from mechanical ventilation in cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome and its value in sucsess Weaning
Moral Injury Syndrome (MIS) affects up to 35-60% of Veterans managing combat-related PTSD; it results from experiences that challenge deeply held values or spiritual beliefs. Symptoms of MIS may include hopelessness, helplessness, loss of spiritual beliefs, difficulty with forgiveness, loss of meaning or purpose, reduced trust in self or others, or intractable guilt, shame or anger. Veterans managing MIS have difficulty responding to mental health treatment, and are at increased risk for suicide ideation or attempts. To date evidence-based interventions for MIS are not widely available in VA. This study will implement an evidence-based intervention for MIS in four VA facilities, collect data on the effectiveness of the intervention, and develop an implementation toolkit. This data will inform national dissemination in collaboration with the Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention and the National Chaplain Service.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of semaglutide in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS ) and determine potential therapeutic benefits.
The emergence of crawling and walking is significantly delayed in infants with Down syndrome (DS), but the development of independent mobility provides infants with new opportunities for exploring the environment and interacting with objects and people that are important foundations for early learning. Increasing infant mobility early in development with body weight supported harness systems may support infant exploration, communication, and social interaction. This project will set the stage for the first clinical trial of a mobility-related intervention specifically tailored for infants with DS by testing the feasibility of harness systems with infants and families and identifying measures that will serve as primary outcome variables. Upon completion of this pilot project, necessary preliminary data and experience required for an in-home, high-impact clinical trial for infants with DS will have been obtained.
The aim of the clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electro-acupuncture for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) patients. 60 IBS-C patients will be randomized and allocated to either the electro-acupuncture arm or the sham acupuncture arm.
The goal of this single arm study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Wesper Lab, previously known as TatchSleep Pro, a wireless home sleep test, as a tool to aid in sleep apnea diagnosis as compared to an overnight polysomnography (PSG) evaluation in a pediatric population (subjects 2 to 21 years of age). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does Wesper Lab demonstrate agreement with PSG for the calculation of the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI)? - Does Wesper Lab demonstrate agreement with PFG for the calculation of sleep apnea severity. Participants that are already undergoing a prescribed PSG for the detection of sleep apnea will be asked to simultaneously wear the Wesper Lab sensors and an FDA approved pulse oximeter. Researchers will compare the AHI of Wesper Lab to the AHI of the PSG to determine the accuracy of the Wesper Lab device. This is a single center, single-arm, quantitative study
Monotherapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor after a minimum period of DAPT following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an emerging de-escalation antiplatelet strategy in recent years. However, the optimal timing for de-escalating DAPT in ACS patients undergoing PCI remains debated. The OPT-CAD score is a risk stratification tool derived from Chinese patients which has been demonstrated superior predictive capabilities for ischemic events and all-cause mortality than the GRACE score. Therefore, we hypothesize that the OPT-CAD score can be used to guide the timing of the DAPT de-escalation strategy to monotherapy with P2Y12 inhibitors for ACS patients, that is, low-risk patients could be de-escalated after 1 month, while high-risk patients could be de-escalated after 3 months, so as to achieve individualized antithrombotic therapy and maximize patient benefit.
This trial is designed to evaluate whether low-dose colchicine, in addition to standard treatment recommended by guidelines, further reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) through a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
