Filter by:Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy. Although many conservative forms of management including the use of wrist splint, steroid injections and therapeutic ultrasound are applicable, their effectiveness is typically insignificant or short-lived. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment, a relative novel pain intervention at recent decade, was found to be able to alleviate pain for certain kinds of chronic pain conditions without damaging nerve. However, the application of PRF in CTS is scarce. The purpose of this study was to assess the analgesic effect and prognosis of ultrasound-guided PRF in the median nerve in patients with CTS.
This is an open-label study of SNC-102 (acamprosate calcium sustained release tablet) in adult subjects with Tourette Syndrome. Subjects will be treated with oral doses of SNC-102 800 mg on a BID basis - before breakfast and at bedtime - for 4 weeks and the same subjects will be treated with SNC-102 1600mg in the morning and 800mg in the evening for an additional 4 weeks. Subjects will be assessed for changes in tic severity, safety, and pharmacokinetics. The study hypothesis is that treatment with SNC-102 will improve the tic severity in adult subjects with Tourette Syndrome.
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized controlled trial. Patients with viral-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) will be eligible. Ten patients will be enrolled and receive allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSC). Ventilator parameters as well as preoperative clinical characteristics and postoperative clinical outcomes will be registered. Routine blood sampling, radiography, and bronchioalveolar lavage will be performed pre- and postoperatively. Spirometry, quality of life assessment, and 6 minute walk test will be performed postoperatively. All available data will be collected prospectively. Follow-up is 12 months. Informed consent will be obtained from relatives to patients meeting the inclusion criteria before the initiation of any study-specific procedures.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating condition of unknown etiology. Recent studies have shown that CFS is associated with impaired cellular energetics and low levels of phosphocreatine. Since guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) acts as a highly bioavailable precursor of creatine it may provide an ideal dietary supplement to facilitate treatment and perhaps prevention of CFS. The overall hypothesis to be evaluated is that medium-term supplementation with GAA will improve clinical outcomes in well-defined adult CFS patients via augmented provision of creatine. Specific aims: (1) To determine the effects of GAA on CFS symptomatology using a fatigue severity inventory, soreness of locomotive apparatus scales, and a health-related quality of life survey; (2) To determine the effect of GAA on creatine metabolism using laboratory studies and magnetic resonance spectroscopy; (3) To characterize the physiological effects of GAA on work capacity via actigraphy and exercise performance tests; and (4); To determine the prevalence of subjectively reported side-effects and biochemical adverse events associated with GAA intervention.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether specific patterns of circulating micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are associated with aortic aneurysm and dissection in patients with hereditary aortopathy syndromes. The most common of these syndromes is Marfan Syndrome (MFS), but several other recognized aortopathy syndromes are well characterized. The investigators propose the use of a simple blood test, from which miRNA profiles can be measured in individuals with aortopathy syndromes to be compared with miRNAs observed in a control population that has no known predisposition for aortic disease. The investigators hypothesize that microRNA profiles in individuals with Marfan syndrome, and related disorders, will be distinct from those seen in a control group. The investigators predict that up- or down-regulation of certain miRNAs will correlate with the presence and severity of aortic aneurysm, responses to medical therapy, and ultimately could be used to determine when an individual may be at risk of dissection.
The purpose of this study is to determine if two different probiotic strains, Lactobacillus paracasei HA-196 and Bifidobacterium longum R0175, are effective in helping subjects manage the symptoms of IBS
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of selinexor (KPT-330) and to find the highest dose of selinexor (KPT-330) that can be given safely when it is combined with two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and cytarabine). This study will be done in two parts: Phase I and Phase II. The goal of Phase I is to find the highest tolerable dose of selinexor (KPT-330) that we can give to patients with leukemia or MDS, when it is combined with fludarabine and cytarabine. The goal of the subsequent Phase II portion of the study (insert NCT ID of SELHEM-2) is to give the highest dose of selinexor (KPT-330) in combination with fludarabine/cytarabine that was found in Phase I to be safe for children with leukemia or MDS. The investigators will examine the effect of this combination treatment. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - Determine a tolerable combination of selinexor, fludarabine, and cytarabine in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies included acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of selinexor, when administered in tablet form, after the first dose and at steady-state, as well as in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine - To estimate the overall response rate of selinexor given with fludarabine and cytarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies
The investigators will conduct a pilot study investigating the effectiveness of a computerized response inhibition training program at reducing the response inhibition difficulties often seen in children with Williams syndrome ages 10-17. The investigators hypothesize that after completing the training program, children with Williams syndrome will show improvement on computerized measures of response inhibition and on parent measures of impulsivity.
Background: - Researchers want to develop better ways to treat cancer. In this study, they will give people with cancer two drugs. These drugs have been used on their own to treat some blood cell cancers. Objectives: - To test the safety and efficacy of the drug combination of bortezomib and clofarabine. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and over with advanced cancer that has progressed after receiving standard treatment or that has no effective therapy. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and scans to measure their tumors. They will also have heart, blood, and urine tests. All of these may be done by their regular doctors. - Participants will get the study drugs in 21-day cyles. They will stay at the clinic for week 1 of every cycle, then have 2 weeks off. <TAB>- Bortezomib will be injected under the skin on days 1 and 4. <TAB>- Clofarabine will be injected in a vein for days 1-5. - During cycle 1 only, participants will go to the clinic or their doctor to have a physical exam and blood tests at the start of the second and third week. - Participants will have clinical evaluations throughout the study, including before receiving treatment and then before the start of each cycle. - Participants may stay in the study as long as they are tolerating the drugs and their tumor is not getting worse. - Participants will have follow-up for 30 days after the last dose of study drugs. - The first part of this study tests the safety of different doses of clofarabine and bortezomib. - The second part of this study involves a separate group of participants who will undergo mandatory research biopsies to learn more about the effects of clofarabine and bortezomib on cancer cells.
