Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri in treating infantile colic as defined by the Rome III criteria. Forty breastfed infants aged from 29 days to 3 months will be enrolled and blinded randomized to receive orally L.reuteri or placebo. The rate of responders (reduction of daily crying time >50% compared to the baseline) will be assessed at day 7, day 14 and day 21 in both groups. The average daily crying time as well as the associated digestive symptoms will also be analyzed.
Infantile colic is one of the most commonly reported medical problems within the first three months of life causing appreciable distress for both parents and pediatricians. It appears that multiple independent origins might be involved: amongst them infant's difficult temperament, inadequate mother-infant communication or maternal anxiety, transient lactase deficiency, exposure to cow's milk, abnormal gastrointestinal function, maternal smoking during pregnancy or after delivery. Consequently, various treatment approaches have been tried to alleviate this condition. Recent studies have suggested that changes of intestinal microflora of a newborn may play an important role in pathogenesis of infantile colic. Therefore, dietary supplementation with probiotics has been proposed for the improvement of this condition.
The aim was to test the hypothesis that oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri in a prospective randomized controlled study would improve symptoms of infantile colic.
This protocol is a study of the effects of Lactobacillus reuteri in 45 healthy infants with colic. The study is being conducted in order to prove treatment dose with probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) in a clinical setting is safe in healthy infants with colic.
The purpose of this prospective randomized three armed, multi center study is to compare the effect of two types of acupuncture and no acupuncture in 2-8 weeks old infants with infantile colic. Group A will get standardized minimal acupuncture in LI4, group B will get individualized acupuncture in different points according to symptoms and group C will not get acupuncture. Parents (who register the infants crying) and the nurse they meet at the study CHC are blinded.
In this study we will compare pain intensity and side effects at different time points after the intranasal administration of desmopressin or placebo in patients with acute renal colic pain.
The study is conducted to examine the safety and efficacy of a new infant formula and its effects on the gastrointestinal tolerance in infants suffering from colic. Primary hypothesis to be tested is: an infant formula with optimized composition improves colicky symptoms compared to a standard formula.
ABSTRACT: Sublingual nitroglycerin has been advocated for the treatment of acute pain from suspected symptomatic cholelithiasis. There is, however, no clinical studies that validate its use. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of nitroglycerine in relieving acute pain of suspected biliary tract origin. Nitroglycerin is a potent smooth muscle relaxant used for biliary tract dilation during ERCP, (Chelly, J) and has been recommended for treatment of biliary colic based on anecdotal experience and small case reports. Nitroglycerin effect is a result of the nitric oxide component of the medication which acts as a smooth muscle relaxant in vascular, bronchial, esophageal and biliary smooth muscles. [McGowan(1936), Chelly (1979),Toyoyama (2001)] The typical dose of nitroglycerin is 0.4 mg given sublingually in pill form or, more recently, in a metered spray form. In a case series reported by Hassel (1993), positive response times ranged from 20 to 60 seconds with duration of action of two to twelve hours. Sublingual nitroglycerin is most commonly used for treatment of chest pain related to insufficient cardiac perfusion. It has also been noted to relieve the pain of esophageal spasms. Nitroglycerin has an excellent safety profile if used in patients with adequate pretreatment blood pressures. [Newberry (2005), Nitroglycerine (2011), Nitro (2011), Wolters (2009)] This study proposes to compare sublingual 0.4 mg doses of nitroglycerin to placebo for the initial treatment of acute pain from suspected symptomatic cholelithiasis
The main objective of this study was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of intravenous paracetamol relative to intravenous ketoprofen when treating renal colic in an emergency ward. Efficacy is measured by the change in verbal numeric scale (vns) for pain at 30 minutes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether sublingual Buprenorphine is as effective as Iv Morphine sulfate on pain control of the patients with acute renal colic in the emergency department.
