A clinical trial comparing the potential effect of 2 different modalities (Nd-YAG Laser Versus Epidermal growth factor injection) on pain reduction in patients suffering from myogenic tempromandibular disorder.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability BIIB059 (litifilimab) in participants who completed the parent study 230LE301 (NCT05531565) with active subacute CLE and/or chronic CLE with or without systemic manifestations and refractory and/or intolerant to antimalarial therapy. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the long-term effect of litifilimab on disease activity and the effect of litifilimab in preventing disease damage in participants with active subacute CLE and/or chronic CLE with or without systemic manifestations and refractory and/or intolerant to antimalarials; to evaluate the long-term effect of litifilimab on preventing lupus flare in participants with CLE with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); to assess long-term use of oral corticosteroid (OCS) in participants receiving litifilimab treatment; to assess the impact of litifilimab on participant-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL); to evaluate long-term effect of litifilimab on laboratory parameters; to evaluate the immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of litifilimab.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of ultrahigh dose diuretics compared to standard dose diuretics over 24 hours in patients with decompensated heart failure.
Physical inactivity and poor dietary habits are associated with an increased risk of obesity and chronic disease (World Health Organization, 2019; Glanz and Bishop, 2010). Conversely, higher levels of total physical activity result in a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, breast and colon cancer, and diabetes (Kyu et al., 2016). Similarly, consumption of the minimum recommended level (600 g per day) of fruit and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer (Ezzati et al., 2004). However, despite these recognized benefits, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity are still major contributors to poor health and rising health care costs. Worldwide, physical inactivity accounted for 13.4 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2013 and cost $53.8 billion to health systems and an additional $13.7 billion in productivity due to deaths attributable to physical inactivity (Ding et al., 2016). Pharmacoeconomics, or the economic evaluation of treatments aimed at maintaining the health of the population, is a set of evaluation models used to identify the value (convenience) and the overall economic impact of a possible treatment. The results of economic evaluations help decision makers inform their choice. Their advantage is that the result is obtained by applying known and validated models, and everyone can know the basis of the decision (evidence-based decision making). The clinical-economic value and the overall financial impact must be compared with the willingness to pay the related costs. Economic evaluations are a tool for defining the value of a medicine in terms of cost-opportunity, from the point of view of the patient, the NHS and society as a whole. The definition of "value" is very broad, multidimensional and includes concepts from many disciplines, beyond economics. Specifically, economic evaluations that take into consideration new medicines, innovative or not, the value is given by the marginal utility that the patient, the NHS and/or society can obtain from its acquisition. In this regard, the measurement of years of life gained in full quality of life (QALY - quality-adjusted life years) is widely applied to medicines in various regulatory contexts, albeit with the awareness that it is not able to capture all the elements that contribute to value (Carletto, A et al.; Drummond, M. F)
An implantable cardiac defibrillator (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; ICD) can effectively improve heart rhythm problems and reduce sudden death, and is widely used in the treatment of high-risk patients with fatal arrhythmias or heart rhythm problems that cannot be controlled by drugs . In the whole case of arrhythmia, after receiving home-based cardiac fibrillator treatment, Patients often experience uncertainty, feel the changes in heart, feel the shock of being shocked by the electric shock, and worry about death, These psychological distress, which were characterized by anxiety and depression. for universal. About 25% of patients present with symptoms of anxiety at the time of hospitalization, and 50% suffer from depression which seriously affects quality of life. Therefore, the main purpose of this study to alleviate the occurrence of anxiety and depression, promote disease patients to regain life adaptation, develop accessible care strategies with midfulness-based intervention to help patients overcome psychological distress, reduce stress, anxiety and prevent depression.
This study is a multicenter, open-label, extended study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of SHR-1819 injection in adult subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who have previously participated in the SHR-1819 injection study for atopic dermatitis (defined as the main study, referred to as the main study hereinafter).
Aims of the study: 1. To deliver a scalable wellbeing programme to the local population of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, focusing on movement. 2. To describe the natural history of long-term conditions using digital data from a smartwatch. 3. To identify digital information that is routinely collected by a smart watch that can be used to predict outcomes in patients with long term conditions. 4. To identify factors that determine whether participants engage with and improve in a movement programme. Adult patients who are registered to the Imperial NHS Care Information Exchange (CIE), an NHS patient-facing electronic health record, are eligible to participate in the study. Participants will receive a smart watch for self-monitoring of their movement and wellbeing and be asked to wear the device as much as possible. They will be asked to download a smartphone application called Connected Life, which displays movement and information on heart rate, breathing and oxygen levels to both the participant and the research team (digital data). Participants will receive secure login details for the Connected Life application from the research team, to ensure data privacy. The research team will look at participants' health records, and attempt to identify associations between the digital data and clinical information. This will allow the research team to identify digital data that predicts the onset and natural history of long term conditions, which may potentially allow for earlier diagnosis for future patients. The primary outcome of the study is the identification of trends in movement based on step-count data recorded by the smartwatch.
To explore the efficacy and safety of near infrared light therapy for Alzheimer's disease. Each subject will be numbered and their medical records will be established. The subjects will be randomly assigned to the treatment group or the control group for 30 minutes/day (5-6 days a week) for 4 months while the treatment group is active settings and the control group is sham settings.Follow-up visits will be conducted at 2 months, 4 months and 2 months after treatment. At each follow-up, scale assessment, blood, MRI, and EEG were observed
This clinical trial aims to test the effect of cold application on postoperative nausea and vomiting.
