Filter by:The myofascial points within the trapezius muscle are hypoechogenic regions that can be depicted via ultrasound imaging. In this study we aimed to demonstrate the hypoechogenic regions within the trapezius muscle and to determine if physical therapy modalities change the appearance and size of these areas. We also wanted to explore if the presence of these areas correlate with pain.
The Pediatric Metabolic Syndrome Study is an observational study being conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina to investigate cardiometabolic risk parameters in obese subjects ages 4 to 21. A detailed assessment is performed on eligible subjects including fasting labwork, anthropometrics, nutrition analysis, body composition testing, echocardiography, and carotid IMT measurements.
The purpose of this study is to see whether adults with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) are willing to be in a 12-week study where they have a 50-50 chance of being placed in either a gentle yoga program or a film-based education program designed for people with RLS. If so, do they complete the program, and does their RLS, sleep, mood, or quality of life improve?
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover study to explore the effects of BPN14770 on cognitive function and behavior in subjects with Fragile X Syndrome. Subjects will receive both active treatment with BPN14770 capsules and matching placebo capsules in the course of the study. One treatment will be administered during each of the 12-week study periods.
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disorder of autonomic and respiratory regulation that frequently alters oxygen delivery to the brain. In CCHS, neurocognitive function has been of great concern because of the potential for repeated hypoxemia and hypercarbia in activities of daily living in addition to hypoventilation with related hypoxemia and hypercarbia during sleep. As the world's leading referral center for CCHS, the Center for Autonomic Medicine in Pediatrics (CAMP) is engaged in ongoing research to identify factors that impact neurocognitive performance in patients with CCHS in order to optimize clinical management and improve long term neurocognitive outcomes. The purpose of this IRB-approved research study is to implement the NIH Toolbox as a standard measurement of cognitive health in patients with CCHS. Further, the study aims to determine how intrinsic and extrinsic disease factors such as age at diagnosis, PHOX2B mutation type and genotype, and nature of past and present artificial respiratory intervention affect the NIH Toolbox Cognitive scores of individuals with CCHS. Eligible participants will complete a 45-minute NIH Toolbox assessment and parents (or adult participants) will complete an associated, 15-minute Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) questionnaire.
To evaluate the effect of curcumin food supplement on gut microbiota of children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and to review any correlation between the changes in the microbiota with symptoms.
The pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is a complex and multifactorial condition associated with inflammatory and hormonal etiophatogenesis similar to the endometriosis. Furthermore, both pathologies share same clinical symptoms as chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia. Our hypothesis is that PCS prevalence is higher in patients with endometriosis than in those without clinical or ultrasound signs of endometriosis.
Post-exertional malaise was modeled by having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and sedentary control subjects perform submaximal exercise on 2 consecutive days with objective changes in brain function measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during cognitive tests before and after the 2 exercise sessions.
Marfan patients are at risk of sudden death due to weakening of the wall of the large blood vessel leading from the heart (aorta). The wall of the aorta weakens and dilates which can rupture, leading to death, and sometimes during intense exercise. There is some evidence in Marfan patients that a stiffer aorta increases risk for rupture. For some time, clinical care has focused on what type of exercise these patients should avoid due to risk for aortic dissection. Little clinical emphasis has been placed on encouraging patients to engage in routine and safe exercise such as walking. Informed by this evidence, the investigators propose to collaboratively investigate whether regular exercise improves aortic health in adolescent Marfan patients.
This is an otherwise open-label, single-arm study that includes a 2-week, double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized drug withdrawal period followed by a 3 week blinded maintenance or re-titration, and then a maintenance period. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TEV-50717 tablets in patients with tics associated with TS who have previously completed participation in any of the parent studies.
