Filter by:1. The title of this study is a multi-center,non randomized,open-labeled,intervention study:the efficacy and safety of intramuscular ziprasidone for three days in patients with acute psychotic agitation. 2. The primary objectiveis to evaluate the efficacy of intramuscular ziprasidone in patients with acute psychotic agitation in daily clinical practice. 3. The secondary objectives are:1.To evaluate the safety of intramuscular ziprasidone in patients with acute psychotic agitation in daily clinical practice.2.To compare the efficacy and tolerance of intramuscular ziprasidone in patients with agitation in the different psychotic disorder 3.To compare the efficacy and tolerance of intramuscular ziprasidone in patients with first episode andmulti-episode patients. 4.To explore the measured based administration according to severity of symptoms.5.To compare the efficacy and tolerance of ziprasidone im between the monotherapy and combination with other antipsychotic drug in clinical practice. 4. The Rationale:In China, the studies of ziprasidone im treating agitation focus on schizophrenia. But in the foreign country, ziprasidone im also is approved to treat psychotic agitation, including bipolar and schizoaffective disorder. And in the clinical practice of China, ziprasidone im is also used to treat other patients, although the evidence is less. In this study, we assume ziprasidone im treat the psychotic agitation is effective and safe. 5. Study populations:The study plan to enroll 1000 subjects in China. （6）The background and the hypothesis：The researches of ziprasidone mesylate injection in our country are more concentrated in schizophrenia at present, while in foreign countries ziprasidone is approved for psychotic agitation, including mania etc. It's also used for substance abuse and alcohol induced agitation.Therefore, this study assumes that ziprasidone mesylate injection is effective in the treatment of acute agitation, and it's well tolerated.
Emergence agitation is a post-anesthetic phenomenon that develops in the early phase of general anesthesia recovery, and is characterized by agitation, confusion, disorientation, and possible violent behavior. The incidence of emergence agitation is less common in adults as compared to pediatric patients. It may lead to serious consequences for the patient such as bleeding, falling, removal of catheters and self extubation, which lead to further complications like hypoxia and aspiration. Despite its common occurrence, unclear etiology, and serious sequelae, emergence agitation has rarely been studied in adults. The stress response to surgery is an unconscious response to tissue injury. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system, increase of catabolic hormone release and pituitary gland suppression are considered a response to surgical stress, in clinical practice these activities cause changes in heart rate, blood pressure and biochemical fluctuations of noradrenaline, adrenaline, dopamine, and cortisol. Above all, these fluctuations prolong hospitalization and delay patients discharge. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha-2 receptor agonist having sedative, analgesic and sympatholytic properties. Decreased stress response to surgery ensuring a stable hemodynamic state is a beneficial property of the agent. Peri-operative use of dexmedetomidine also decreases postoperative opioid consumption, pain intensity, and antiemetic therapy. However, the data related to the effects of dexmedetomidine on reducing agitation from general anesthesia in adults are limited.
Ketamine is the cornerstone of procedural sedation in emergency department but ketamine induced agitation has limited its usage by many physicians. As a solution, some propose using midazolam or haloperidol before ketamine injection. In this randomized double blind clinical trial, patients who are eligible for sedation by ketamine are allocated in 3 groups. In first group, the patients will receive 0.05 mg/kg midazolam, in second group 5 mg of haloperidol and in 3rd group a placebo five minutes before receiving the sedative dose of ketamine (1 mg/kg). The patients are assessed for agitation during and after the procedure the clinician's satisfaction with sedation instrument is evaluated after the procedure.
There is limited information on the best psychoactive medication to treat agitated patients in the emergency department. The intent of this study is to fill in knowledge gaps in the current practice of treating psychiatric patients in the acute care setting. The purpose of this study is to determine the best treatment for agitated psychiatric patients in the emergency department.
ASA I-II 3-12 years old children participated to this study. All Participants will divide into the three groups. In Groups I, 2,5 mg/kg propofol and 0,5 mg/kg ketamine will apply at anaesthesia induction. General anaesthesia will be performed with 5/1 ratio of ketamine-propofol mixture with %67 of Mcfarlan dose regiment. In Groups II, 2,75 mg/kg propofol and 0,41 mg/kg ketamine will apply at anaesthesia induction. General anaesthesia will be performed with 6,7/1 ratio of ketamine-propofol mixture with %80 of Mcfarlan dose regiment. In Groups III, 3 mg/kg propofol and 0,3 mg/kg ketamine will apply at anaesthesia induction. General anaesthesia will be performed with 10/1 ratio of ketamine-propofol mixture with %90 of Mcfarlan dose regiment. After than surgical operation recovery time, PAED scores, FLACC scores, Staying time in PACU will be recorded. These data will be evaluated with statistically.
Treatment Phase I and II Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of FCM (750 mg dose x 2) for treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in patients with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). Long-Term Extension Phase III Primary Objective: To evaluate the duration of effect of prior FCM treatment and to determine the effectiveness of further iron repletion with FCM when RLS symptoms worsen or reoccur.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of ITI-007 versus placebo administered orally once daily in the treatment of agitation in patients with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease of aging. Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in AD are a major cause of burden to patients, caregivers, and society and are near-universal at some point in the AD course. One of the most troubling of these symptoms is agitation (Agit-AD), typified by a variety of problem behaviors including combativeness, yelling, pacing, lack of cooperation with care, insomnia, and restlessness. There is a great need for better interventions that target Agit-AD, a major source of patient disability as well as caregiver burden and stress, particularly in the case of moderate to severe agitation. This pilot trial could open the door to "re-purposing" Dronabinol (Marinol®) as a novel and safe treatment for Agit-AD with significant public health impact.
Emergence agitation (EA) is common phenomenon in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia by inhalation agents. The incidence of EA was reported to range from 18% to 80%. Sevoflurane now is the inhalational anesthetic agent of choice for pediatrics, Different strategies have been suggested to decrease the incidence and severity of EA. No gold standard technique for treating EA after sevoflurane anesthesia is currently available. The main question is can caudal dexmedetomidine be used for this purpose?
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bilateral infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve block in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty are effective in preventing emergence agitation.
