Filter by:POWER Health is a randomized clinical trial with a two-arm parallel design whose objectives are 1) to study metabolic flexibility and autonomic function (both capacities that describe cardiovascular health) in a sample of postmenopausal oncological women vs postmenopausal untreated controls (CT); and 2) to analyze the impact of two different 8-week physical exercise supervised interventions: HIIT training vs strength training focused on muscle power, on both cardiovascular capacities in these populations.
Study of efficacy and safety of Vespireit, prolonged-release tablets, 15 mg (Valenta Pharm JSC, Russia) in comparison with Arlevert, tablets, 40 mg + 20 mg (Menarini International Operations Luxembourg S.A., Luxembourg) in patients with autonomic dysfunction syndrome accompanied by functional vertigo.
Observational two phase, retrospective and prospective registry study to assess the prevalence of and characterize outcomes of autonomic dysfunction (AD) in patients who undergo bariatric surgery (BS) and to better define the underlying pathophysiology of AD following BS.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of a 16-week aerobic exercise regimen on the autonomic nervous system and endothelial function in patients with compensated cirrhosis who maintain sedentary lifestyles. The primary research question is: 1) What effect does 16 weeks of aerobic exercise have on changes in the autonomic nervous system and endothelial function in cirrhotic patients? Additionally, the secondary research questions are: 1. How does a 16-week aerobic exercise program influence changes in muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in cirrhotic patients? 2. Is there a correlation between muscle mass and parameters of the autonomic nervous system in cirrhotic patients? Participants in the intervention group will undergo 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week for 16 weeks, accompanied by a personalized nutritional plan (1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight per day and a calorie intake of 35 kilocalories per kilogram of ideal body weight per day). The control group will solely receive nutritional guidance and maintain their sedentary lifestyle. The researchers will compare outcomes between these two groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine if nVNS will decrease autonomic symptom intensity (COMPASS-31 and Child Functional Disability Inventory) in adolescent patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in comparison to standard recovery STEPS management.
In an implementation study, designed as a RCT in people with type 1 diabetes(T1D) and an elevated Pressure pain sensitivity of the chest bone(PPS) as indicative of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANSD), to describe the effect of a selfcare programe on the following outcome measures: 1. PPS, and the effect on health risk factors associated to quality of life, physiology and metabolism. People acceptance of the program: Can T1D people comply with the program and integrate the program into their daily life? 2. The professional staff acceptance of the program: Does the staff comply to the program and does the program comply to the routines of the clinical department?
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common, deadly, and costly, and adults with insomnia represent a large group of people at elevated risk of developing CVD in the future. This clinical trial will determine if our updated insomnia treatment, called the SHADES intervention, improves CVD factors thought to explain how insomnia promotes CVD and if these improvements are due to positive changes in sleep factors. A total of 200 primary care patients with insomnia and CVD risk factors will be randomized to 6 months of the SHADES intervention (internet, telephonic, and/or face-to-face cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia) or the active control condition (sleep education/hygiene, symptom monitoring, and primary care for insomnia). Before and after treatment, participants will complete measurements of the CVD factors (systemic inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, metabolic dysregulation, proinflammatory gene expression) and the sleep factors (insomnia symptoms, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency). Researchers will test whether the SHADES intervention produces greater improvements in the CVD factors than the active control condition.
Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is part of the body's autonomic nervous system(PNS) protects body against inflammation. Study shows that reduced PNS function activity is associated with persistent inflammation. Preliminary data from the studies shows, that post-COVID-19 POTS patients have reduced parasympathetic (PNS) function. Given that the PNS protects against inflammation, this clinical trial aims to prove that post-COVID-19 POTS is caused by reduced PNS activity, which in turn, contributes to persistent inflammation, orthostatic intolerance, and OI symptoms. The study will evaluate immune cell activation in post-COVID-19 POTS and patients with history of COVID-19 infection without sequelae and correlate this with the degree of decreased PNS activity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcutaneous electrical acustimulation (TEA) alters systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related colonic and anorectal physiology by enhancing autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. The study will examine the effects of TEA on slow colonic transit (SCT) and rectal hyposensitivity (RH), to examine whether TEA improves autonomic dysfunction and modulates inflammatory pathways.
Background: The investigational device, "Task Force® CORE" (TFC, CNSystems Medizintechnik GmbH, Graz, Austria) together with the "Task Force® CARDIO" (TFCARDIO, CNSystems Medizintechnik GmbH, Graz, Austria) medical device software, is a new CE-marked medical device for continuous non-invasive determination of blood pressure (BP), cardiac output (CO) and derived parameters based on the well established CNAP® (continuous non-invasive arterial pressure) technology by CNSystems. Aim: The primary aim of this prospective, method comparison, open study is data acquisition for the performance evaluation of the TFC during autonomic function testing in comparison with an clinically accepted reference method. Setting: The setting of the clinical investigation will be the autonomic function testing laboratory at the Department of Neurology, the University Hospital Center Zagreb. Inclusion criteria: Patients who are over 18 years and who provide written informed consent. Sample size: The study has an calculated sample size of 70 patients. Considering a drop-out rate of 5%, a total of 75 patients will be included. Statistics: Descriptive statistics, values for the percentage error and correlation estimates will be derived. Furthermore, scatterplot, Bland-Altman analysis, concordance analysis of parameter changes and further comparative statistics will be performed.
