Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of linaclotide for the treatment of Irritable Bowel syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C), in children age 7-17 years. This study includes up to a 4-week Screening Period, and a 2 to 3-week Pretreatment Period. Patients age 7-11 will receive oral liquid or oral solid capsule and patients 12-17 will receive solid oral capsule formulation. Children ages 7-11 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 3 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. Children ages 12-17 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 4 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. This 4-week study will assess the effects of linaclotide on bowel movement frequency, as well as other bowel symptoms of IBS-C.
Deficient sleep duration and sleep disturbances - such as insomnia, sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and restless legs syndrome (RLS)- are associated with hypertension and cardio-cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Several studies suggest that sleep disorders are frequent after stroke and detrimental for stroke outcome. However, more prospective studies in a large unselected sample of stroke survivors are needed to better investigate the short- and long-term consequences of sleep disturbances on mortality and occurrence of new cardio-cerebrovascular events. Also their pathophysiological mechanisms and their influence on stroke recovery should be better understood. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the impact of sleep deficiency and sleep fragmentation on the frequency of new cerebro- and cardiovascular events and death after stroke or transient ischemic attacks, and clinical outcome within one and two years after stroke. The working hypotheses are that stroke survivors with sleep deficiency and sleep fragmentation due to insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing or restless leg syndrome will present: (1) higher mortality from all causes and higher frequency of new cardio-/ cerebrovascular events; and (2) a less favorable clinical outcome. Outcomes will be compared between patients with and without sleep deficiency and fragmentation. Since current clinical practice in cerebrovascular patients does not sufficiently consider sleep disorders in patient's management, this study can help to bring attention to a still overlooked medical problem and change the current standard of management of stroke survivors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 3-week of SPA therapy improves sleep apnea in patients with chronic venous insufficiency and concomitant Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS).
This study evaluates effect of Ficus carica and Descurainia Sophia on irritable bowel syndrome predominant constipation. one-third of patients will receive Ficus carica, another one-third will receive Descurainia Sophia and remained patients only will follow their regular diet for 4 months.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and dose response of two delayed release formulations of linaclotide (DR; DR formulation 1 is DR1; DR formulation 2 is DR2) administered orally to patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). Additional objectives include understanding how the two DR formulations compare with each other and with the FDA-approved 290 μg LINZESS® (the immediate release [IR] formulation of linaclotide).
Vasovagal syncope (VVS, simple faint) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness and represents the acute episodic form of orthostatic intolerance (OI). Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is the common chronic form of OI. Both are defined by debilitating symptoms and signs while upright relieved by recumbency. Northera should therefore improve both sympathetic splanchnic arterial vasoconstriction and sympathetic splanchnic venoconstriction in POTS and VVS, and may represent an ideal drug to improve the orthostatic response in POTS and VVS.
The flavonoid epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a modulator of neuronal plasticity useful in other neurodevelopmental diseases. A recent study showed that EGCG is a promising tool for cognitive and health related quality of life improvement in Down's syndrome. The objective is to determine the efficacy of EGCG as a therapeutic candidate for the improvement of cognitive performance in FAS patients. Pre and post study, non randomized, controlled and without placebo, to evaluate the efficacy of EGCG. It is a pilot study in a cohort of 40 FAS children, between 7 ans 14 years old. An oral dose of 9 mg/Kg/day will be administered during 1 year, with 6 control visits until 6 months after finishing the treatment.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome that is likely to occur or spread (higher risk) and who were previously treated or untreated and unfit for or refused intense therapy. Ibrutinib and azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
There is no golden universal standard for the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). In this scenario, for a comparison of the effectiveness of the principal diagnostic tests CTS should determine how they affect the likelihood of disease through a clinical accuracy trial of good methodological quality in order to get answers to what is the best diagnostic strategy in clinical CTS practice. The paresthesia in nerve distribution territory median hands is the most common symptom in patients with CTS. The nuisance caused by paresthesia directly affects the quality of life of patients and impairs daily manual activities and sleep quality. To evaluate the remission of paresthesia is a major clinical criterion for improved STC being an expected relevant outcome for the patient. This study evaluated and compared the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasonography (US) and electromyography (EMG), considering the postoperative status of remission of paresthesia as the reference standard in the diagnosis of CTS.
