Filter by:The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if a nutritional supplement containing broccoli sprout and seed extracts, a rich source of sulforaphane, is effective in reducing core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study will also explore the safety and tolerability of a sulforaphane supplement in young men with ASD, as well as its effects on challenging neuropsychiatric symptoms that are commonly associated with ASD, such as hyperactivity, irritability, and repetitive movements.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy on sleep latency with electronic sleep diaries and the safety of NPC-15.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing dexmedetomidine sedation with caudal anaesthesia, and general sevoflurane anaesthesia with caudal anaesthesia for inguinal herniotomies in neonates and infants below 3 months of age. The investigators will compare the efficacy and adverse events associated with each of these techniques and neurodevelopmental outcomes of the infants in each group at 6 months and 2 years of age.
Preterm infants are vulnerable to brain injury, nutritional deficiencies and poor early growth which places them at increased risk for developmental problems later in life. The micronutrient carnitine, which is present in breast milk and stored in the fetus late in pregnancy, has been shown to protect against brain injury in animal studies. Without supplementation, almost all preterm infants develop carnitine deficiency soon after birth. Thus it is important to determine if carnitine supplementation protects against brain injury and improves developmental outcomes in these vulnerable preterm infants. We hypothesize that preterm infants supplemented early with L-carnitine while receiving parenteral nutrition will not develop carnitine deficiency and will have improved growth in the first two weeks of life and higher scores on developmental tests when compared to control infants who did not receive carnitine.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether NeuroModulation Technique (NMT) is effective in reducing maladaptive behaviors and increasing adaptive behaviors in children diagnosed with autism. Hypothesis: Children in the Experimental group will show significant improvement over the Wait-List control group as measured by the Pervasive Developmental Disorder Behavioral Inventory (PDDBI), the Aberrant Behavior Checklist, Community Version (ABC-C), and the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC). Children in the Wait-List control group will show significant improvement over their baseline measures after receiving NMT treatment.
