Filter by:This study aims to compare total intravenous anesthetic agents: combined remimazolam and propofol vs. propofol monotherapy. The comparison parameters are intraoperative hypotension, patient's involuntary movement, neurophysiological monitoring quality, onset time, recovery time, and postoperative rescue anti-emetics requirements.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about and describe how pianistic training influences the development of Alzheimer's disease. The key question is: Can pianistic practice influence the development of Alzheimer's disease? Participants will receive piano lessons for 4 weeks (20 sessions) and we will evaluate the evolution of the different parameters described by the tests carried out.
The CENOBITE study will be conducted as a multi-center trial involving X leading centers from the Critical Care EEG Monitoring Consortium (CCEMRC). A total of 10 patients will be recruited over a period of one year, with each patient undergoing monitored treatment regimen. Each site will obtain its own approval from their institutional review board. Data will be shared through the MGB REDCap; raw EEG files will be shared through the MGB Dropbox and analyzed at the BWH. Monitoring for the development of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome, a potential adverse reaction, will be a key aspect of the study. Regular assessments, including RegiSCAR scoring (a validated scoring system for DREeSS5), daily serum cenobamate level measurements, and comprehensive lab tests, will be conducted to ensure patient safety and the effective management of any adverse reactions such as DRESS syndrome.
The subject of the study focuses on commercial aircraft's cabins air quality, under conditions of both fume events and non-fume events. It also delves into the immediate and delayed repercussions of these events on the health of aviation crew members. The expological facet of this study is directed at the detection and quantification of organophosphorus compounds originating from engine oils. The epidemiological facet is geared towards the identification of potential neurological consequences.
The objective of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a photo-narrative communication intervention developed by our study team with patients/parents of children with severe neurological impairment (SNI) and their pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) clinicians to assess feasibility, acceptability, and early efficacy.
Neuralis is an innovative assistive technology designed for individuals with severe neuromuscular conditions, enabling wheelchair control through EEG signals. This study aims to assess the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of Neuralis in restoring mobility and independence. The device is a discreet EEG headset which specializes in decoding signals from visual cortex, allowing users to initiate precise wheelchair movements through focused attention. This research seeks to demonstrate Neuralis' potential in revolutionizing assistive technology by offering a non-invasive, user-friendly solution for individuals facing motor impairments, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
This study, aimed at investigating the impact of using a supportive soft-robotic glove on actual arm and hand use in daily life, is designed as a single-case experimental design study. 3-5 patients with limitations in hand function due to trauma-related or neurological conditions are asked to participate. Participants will be asked to use a soft-robotic glove at home for six weeks during daily activities relevant to them, while that glove supports the grip of their most affected hand. For several weeks before, during and after the use of the soft-robotic glove, participants will be asked to do some short tests (wearing an activity meter on both wrists during the day, performing a hand squeeze test under the supervision of the researcher via video call) and to answer some questions related to perceived hand function and well-being (a total of at least 15 times during 12-14 weeks). The present study is a follow-up to previous studies that investigated the effect of (previous versions of) the same robotic glove (Carbonhand; Bioservo Technolo-gies AB, Kista, Sweden) on hand function, in order to better understand and explain the observed therapeutic effect.
The objective is to explore the potential short and long-term impact of the Exopulse Mollii Suit on subjects with CP, MS, stroke, SCI or other neurological disorders which may cause such types of symptoms, and to identify high responders among the sub-categories of the diagnoses. The primary endpoint will be improvement on the Berg/Pediatric Balance Scale (BBS) as a measurement of balance and risk of falls.
To assess feasability, tolerance of anesthesic intramuscular motor block. To study immediate effects on differents muscles : gluteus maximus, rectus femoris in a hemiparetic population (over 15 days) To precise the role of the muscles which could be rehabilitatoin targets.
Background and aim: Sustained bed rest impairs many bodily functions. Verticalization restores gravitational challenge and the use of several organs. The Atalante™ exoskeleton (Wandercraft) is the only self-balanced exoskeleton, which allows walking without canes. We assessed multi-tissular effects of mobile reverticalization using Atalante™ in neurological bed- or wheelchair-bound patients. Methods: Observational cohort study. Inclusion criteria: bed- or wheelchair-bound for >2 weeks and <1 hour per day of stance, due to a central neurological disorder. Sessions with exoskeleton were 3/week, integrated in routine care. Data collected at baseline and after eight weeks (W8) included: cardiovascular (echocardiography, EKG, blood pressure lying and standing), pulmonary (spirometry), bone (densitometry, biochemical markers), bowels (daily stool frequency, Bristol Stool Scale), urinary (urinary flow, postmictional residual volume, urinary symptom profile questionnaire, USP), cognitive (trail making test, TMT-B), anxiety and depression (HAD), and quality of life (SF12). Results will be presented at the end of the study.
