Filter by:In this study, the investigators aimed to observe the effects of medium cut-off dialysis filters and high-flux dialysis filters on malnutrition inflammation score, uremic itching, restless leg syndrome, anemia, and ESA treatment, which are prominent complications in hemodialysis, and routine follow-up parameters.
The Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder better characterized by an urge to move the legs at rest. Although treatments are available, many patients experience periods of symptoms relief and exacerbation. Whether this is due to the natural history of the disease or to health-related behaviors of daily life is presently unknown. The primary objective is to examine the feasibility of mobile technology to assess RLS symptoms severity fluctuations in daily life by collecting real-time data. The secondary objectives will be to examine the validity of this technic in the context of RLS and to use these real-time data to identify daily life risk factors for symptom onset or aggravation.
This is an open-label trial in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) patients inadequately treated with standard therapy, defined by an IRLS score greater than 15. Investigators hypothesize that the study drug, Pitolisant (Wakix), may improve RLS symptoms.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological movement disorder characterized by uncomfortable and uncontrollable sensations, usually in the legs, that increase at rest, and an urge to move the legs or other affected extremities. The exact cause of RLS is unknown, but there are idiopathic and secondary forms of RLS associated with various medical conditions such as anemia, pregnancy, uremia, neuropathies, rheumatoid arthritis, parkinson's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia, and neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. NMO, once considered a variant of multiple sclerosis, is now recognized as a separate disease entity. In 2004, the water channel protein-specific antibody called aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was found to cause NMO, leading to the identification of NMO as a separate disease. When initially described, the disease was thought to show only necrotic and demyelinating lesions in the optic nerve and spinal cord. It was therefore thought that NMO would preferentially only attack the optic nerves and spinal cord, not the brain. However, over the years, evidence from various studies has proven that various parts of the brain are also affected during the course of the disease. In addition, some patients showing features of the disease were found to be seronegative for anti-AQP4 antibodies. These findings necessitated the need to introduce a new term "neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD)" to describe all the features of the disease. Although the feeling of restlessness in the legs is frequently reported as a sensory symptom by people with NMOSD, there are limited publications to investigate the relationship between RLS and NMOSD. The primary aim of the study is to determine the frequency and severity of RLS in people with NMOSD. The second aim of the study is to compare the presence and severity of RLS, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness level, quality of life, fatigue and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) results in people with NMOSD. The third aim of the study is to compare the cognitive functions of people with RLS positive and negative NMOSD. People with NMOSD who came to Dokuz Eylul University Medical Faculty Hospital Neurology Department MS Polyclinic for their routine check-ups, who volunteered to participate, will be included in the study.
This is an open label, short placebo-controlled trial in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) patients inadequately treated with standard therapy. Investigators hypothesize that the study drug, sublingual apomorphine (Kynmobi), may improve RLS breakthrough symptoms. This study is designed to determine if sublingual apomorphine improves breakthrough symptoms in RLS patients, in addition to subjective responses.
In this studly, the effects of an 12-week aerobic exercise training in persons with multiple sclerosis with restless legs syndrome will be investigated.
This study aims to measure the effectiveness of vitamins C and E on relieving RLS symptoms in end stage renal disease patients on HD
Prospective longitudinal observational registry study of all patients with sleep disorders treated in the Mainz Comprehensive Epilepsy and Sleep Medicine Center with the focus on the course of the disease and quality of life.
To compare the effects of stretching exercises versus thermotherapy on RLS symptoms and sleep quality among pregnant women. Research hypotheses: - Pregnant women who perform leg stretching exercises exhibit lower RLS symptoms severity and pain level than those who applied thermotherapy. - Pregnant women who perform leg stretching exercises exhibit higher sleep quality than those who applied thermotherapy.
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal sensations, usually accompanied by pain and restlessness in the legs and/or any part of the body. Sleep quality disorders (10-20%) and limb movements during sleep are quite common in patients with RLS . These disorders in sleep quality are also common among patients receiving hemodialysis due to end-stage renal disease. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the treatment of RLS. Due to the varying success and side effects of pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological methods have come to the fore for these patients. One of the methods that can be applied as a non-pharmacological method is vibration. The therapeutic effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation (EYYDM) is not clear, it is stated that it activates the muscles, fascia and tendon and improves pain clinically in studies. The aim of the study is to determine the most effective treatment method on pain and sleep quality by comparing the effects of vibration and EYYDM methods in dialysis patients with restless legs syndrome
