Filter by:Aim: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a systemic disease of connective tissue, it can also contribute to sarcopenia and chronic musculoskeletal pain with common pathways. 1. First aim of this study was to investigate whether the rate of sarcopenia is higher in patients with PEX 2. Second aim was to investigate the association between PEX, sarcopenia parameters and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: A total of 96-patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: PEX-positive (n=48) and PEX-negative (n=48) patients. The variables: the demographic data, sarcopenia parameters (SARC-F-questionnaire, hand-grip strength, chair-rise test, gait speed) and pain parameters (having any chronic musculoskeletal pain, pain regions and visual analogue scale-pain).
The primary purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and tolerability of fenfluramine hydrochloride (HCl) 0.2 to 0.8 mg/kg/day in infants 1 year to less than 2 years of age with Dravet syndrome.
The objective of this observational study is to document symptom progression in 60 patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) who undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) following COVID or other infections. Participants will receive HBOT treatment as an additional option after completing the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CARE (CFS_CARE) study and will be invited to take part in this observational study. Patients will complete health evaluations in the form of questionnaires, including the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), to assess changes in ME/CFS-related symptoms after HBOT. Rather than evaluating the efficacy of HBOT itself, the study will focus on observing and documenting these changes. Its goal is to offer valuable insights into symptom progression in ME/CFS patients receiving HBOT, which can serve as a foundation for future interventional randomized controlled trials.
The aim of this work is to identify whether the digital treatment program Mage-tarmskolen has an effect on patients with IBS. Our secondary objectives is to address multiple aspects of digital treatmtent success of the different modules. The patients will be randomized to one of four arms and will be delivered different kinds of digital treatment. All patients will have access to ask questions to a registered dietitian. Primary end point is the proportion of patients with treatment success in the low FODMAP, behavioral therapy or both groups, versus the patient education group (sham). Treatment effect is defined as an improvement of 50 points or more on the IBS severity scoring system at 3 months after treatment start compared to the score before treatment.
This mixed-methods study comprising a 3-arm pilot RCT and a qualitative study aims to investigate the preliminary effects and feasibility of a home-based combined activity and cognitive intervention for ICU survivors (COMBAT-ICU). Adopting a 3-arm design with COMBAT-ICU, exercise and attention placebo study arms will enable us to evaluate the added effects, if any, of the novel combined intervention compared with the standard exercise-only rehabilitation strategy and attention placebo. Data triangulation from quantitative and qualitative aspects can facilitate result interpretation. The study's objectives are: 1. To evaluate the preliminary effects of the COMBAT-ICU intervention for ICU survivors on PICS, physical, mental and cognitive outcomes, HRQoL, unplanned re-hospitalisation rate, and mortality. 2. To explore the feasibility and acceptability of the COMBAT-ICU intervention and ICU survivors' intervention engagement experience. The hypothesis of the first objective is that upon completion of the COMBAT-ICU intervention, ICU survivors will have reduced PICS, improved physical function, mental health, cognition and HRQoL, and reduced unplanned readmissions and mortality compared with the exercise and attention placebo groups at post-intervention and 3 months thereafter. While the hypothesis of the second objective is that the COMBAT-ICU intervention is feasible and acceptable for ICU survivors.
This single-cohort, prospective case series is designed to evaluate and characterize the use of Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™ to protect the ulnar nerve in a first revision cubital tunnel decompression procedure. Data on the primary cubital tunnel syndrome decompression, first revision decompression utilizing Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector, participant-reported pain, motor and sensory functional outcomes, quality of life (QoL) outcomes, and recurrence/revision will be collected. This case series will help to establish the ability of Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector to provide clinical benefits for patients undergoing a first revision cubital tunnel decompression procedure.
The menstrual cycle is a recurring process in the lives of women from puberty until menopause. This cycle can cause various discomforts, including premenstrual syndrome. Described differently, premenstrual syndrome is a collection of physical and psychological symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and subside upon the arrival of menstruation. This definition is conditioned by the existence of a free interval of at least one week between the end of the period and the appearance of these symptoms, as well as a global impairment of functioning and quality of life for women. The impact on the personal, social, and professional lives of affected women, as well as the pain and discomfort it causes, may be perceived as insignificant or normal by women. Therefore, few women report the existence of these disorders to healthcare professionals. As the subject is not approached, these women are not taken care of even though therapeutic solutions could be proposed. This pathology affects a large number of women, but its prevalence differs greatly depending on the studies conducted on the subject, suggesting a lack of knowledge of this syndrome.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between different ultrasonographic indices used in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and clinical parameters. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To what extent are the ultrasonographic parameters used in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome related to the patient's clinical complaints? - To what extent are the different ultrasonographic parameters used in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome correlated with each other?
The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, longitudinal study to observe the natural clinical progression and disease outcome of AS patients receiving no disease-modified intervention, with the purpose of obtaining data that will be useful for future clinical trials.
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to establish the long-term effect of pelvic floor re-education using biofeedback and home training for men with chronic pelvic pain. The main questions it aims to answer are if pelvic floor re-education using bio-feedback and home training will give a long-lasting improvement in symptoms, assessed with a validated symptom score (the National Institute of Health - Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) and if an improvement in symptoms can be correlated to objective measurements of pelvic floor function. Participants will be asked to do pelvic floor exercises daily during six months with additional sessions of bio-feedback training. The control group will have no changes in their on-going treatment for their chronic pelvic pain and will be offered to enter the treatment group after six months.
