The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on blood pressure in individuals with an acute spinal cord injury (within 30 days of injury). Blood pressure instability, specifically orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when moving lying flat on your back to an upright position), appears early after the injury and often significantly interferes with participation in the critical rehabilitation time period. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can optimal spinal stimulation increase blood pressure and resolve orthostatic symptoms (such as dizziness and nausea) when individuals undergo an orthostatic provocation (a sit-up test)? Optimal stimulation and sham stimulation (which is similar to a placebo treatment) will be compared. 2. What are the various spinal sites and stimulation parameters that can be used to increase and stabilize blood pressure to the normal range of 110-120 mmHg? Participants will undergo orthostatic tests (lying on a bed that starts out flat and then moved into an upright seated position by raising the head of bed by 90° and dropping the base of the bed by 90° from the knee) with optimal and sham stimulation, and their blood pressure measurements will be evaluated and compared.
Spasticity can result from a variety of causes in neural axis from which most common are cerebral palsy, strokes, cerebral haemorrhage, multiple sclerosis , traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury and underlying mechanism is broadly due to decrease inhibition of the spinal network. Clinical evaluation for spasticity involve series of clinical assessment , physical examination , and neurophysiological testing. quantitative evaluation of spasticity can be measured using modified Ashworth scale which is the most widely used clinical spasticity scale and can be used for various clinical conditions causing spasticity
This is a Phase 1 2-part, single-center, open-label study in healthy male volunteers. Part A will assess the absorption, metabolism, excretion, and pharmacokinetics of one oral dose of radiolabeled EDG-5506. Part B will assess bioavailability of EDG-5506 with a single oral dose of EDG-5506 and a single intravenous dose of radiolabeled EDG-5506.
This project will investigate the effect of spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation on blood pressure in individuals with a chronic spinal cord injury who experience blood pressure instability, specifically, orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when moving from lying flat on your back to an upright position). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the various spinal sites and stimulation parameters that normalize and stabilize blood pressure during an orthostatic provocation (70 degrees tilt)? 2. Does training, i.e., exposure to repeated stimulation sessions, have an effect on blood pressure stability? Participants will undergo orthostatic tests (lying on a table that starts out flat, then tilts upward up to 70 degrees), with and without stimulation, and changes in their blood pressure will be evaluated.
The goal of this study is to learn about the brain network response in people who have functional neurological disorder who are administered with a single dose of the psychedelic psilocybin with therapeutic support. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the default mode network, a brain network thought to be relevent in FND, be modified by the administration of psilocybin based on functional magnetic resonance imaging before and after the dose?
This observational, retrospective study has shown, that the addition of craniosacral therapy to the Vojta method has improved the effects of the therapy in 6 months follow-up period. The chance for improvement was 9.42 times higher in Vojta + craniosacral group compared to the group conducted only with Vojta method. The study results suggest that the craniosacral procedure should be considered as an additive regimen to the Vojta method in the therapy of children with central coordination disorders (CCD) . More data is still needed to improve the rehabilitation process in this group of patients.
This is a forward-looking, open, one-arm, and real clinical trial world. The researchers plan to recruit at least 50 qualified patients. The main purpose of this study is to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of ticagrelor , explore the correlation between its blood concentration and the events of ischemia and the adverse effects of hemorrhage, and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ticagrelor in the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
Physiotherapy is a discipline which englobe not only the rehabilitation of physical pathologies but also their prevention. That is why this study pretends to upgrade this part of the physical therapy specialty while prove new therapies using innovation technologies in people with any physical neurological disease. The main problem that this study pretends to solve is the necessity of develop new activities to improve quality of life and integration in people with any physical neurological disease. People with any neurological disease used to present visual problems, pain, fatigue, functional dependence, and a bad quality of life and it appears that exercise habits could improve all these deficiencies. However, how could people with any physical neurological disease participate in an integrated way in nowadays physical activities? The main objective of this study is to prove the effectiveness on visual acuity, quality of life, pain decreasing, functional independence and fatigue of physical therapy modalities in people with any physical neurological disease. The experiment will take part with 128 participants, divided equally in control and experimental groups. Both are going to receive adapted yoga sessions but only experiment group is going to test oculomotor therapy. Descriptive investigation would take part at the end of the intervention to analyze all results.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a musical interventionand non-invasive brain stimulation in neurological patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - to evaluate the residual neuroplastic processes in DOC state related to music exposure - to determine the putative modulation of the aforementioned processes and the clinical outcome of DOC patients by non-pharmacological strategies, i.e., electric (tDCS) and music stimulation - to evaluate the impact of this intervention on caregiver's burden and psychological distress. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three different music-listening intervention groups. Primary outcomes will be clinical, that is based on the neurologist's observations of clinical improvement, and neurophysiological, collected pre-intervention, post-intervention and post-placebo.
