Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare letrozole alone versus letrozole plus levothyroxine for ovulation induction in infertile women with both PCOS and subclinical hypothyroidism. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is letrozole plus levothyroxine superior to letrozole alone in achieving ovulation in these patients? Does combining levothyroxine with letrozole lead to higher pregnancy and live birth rates compared to letrozole alone? Participants will be randomized into two groups: Group 1 will receive letrozole only, starting at 2.5 mg daily from day 3 to 7 of the menstrual cycle. The dose will be increased up to 7.5 mg if no ovulation occurs, for a maximum treatment period of 6 months or until pregnancy is achieved. Group 2 will receive letrozole at the same doses as group 1 plus 25 mcg levothyroxine daily.
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is characterized by a burning sensation on the tongue or other areas of the mouth, often bilateral but occasionally unilateral. It is more prevalent in postmenopausal women. No specific ethnic or socioeconomic predisposition has been identified. The etiology and pathophysiology of BMS remain unknown. Various treatment approaches have been proposed, yielding conflicting outcomes and underscoring the need for further investigation. Patients with BMS appear to respond well to long-term therapy involving systemic antidepressants and anxiolytics. The most promising therapeutic effects have been observed with clonazepam, which leads to a significant reduction in pain when applied topically or systemically. Capsaicin, an herbal remedy, also presents as an alternative treatment option, showing positive results in alleviating BMS symptoms when compared to a placebo. Photobiomodulation represents another non-pharmacological treatment possibility. It's analgesic action is possibly attributed to the inhibition of pain mediators. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is dietary supplement employed in BMS treatment. It serves as a potent antioxidant naturally produced within the body, contributing to the mitigation of skin aging and reinforcing the effects of other biological antioxidants. Based on these findings, attempts have been made to demonstrate ALA's effectiveness in BMS management, concluding that ALA may offer benefits in this context. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate, in adults with BMS, the impact of different therapeutic approaches on frequency, intensity, and location of pain, as well as on on quality of life.
To evaluate the safety and initial efficacy of STSA-1002 injection in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Children had Down syndrome often have impaired balance and postural control and result as less active than their peers that can lead to reduced quality of life and movement skills. Effects of physical activity may be important in preventing falling risk and health consequences in those children
Purpose: Multiple formulations and brands of botulinum toxin exist on the market today. Only OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) is currently FDA approved for treatment of overactive bladder. IncobotulinumtoxinA (XEOMIN®) is a similar formulation of botulinum toxin A that has similar dosing and safety profile at onabotulinumtoxinA. OnabotulinumtoxinA is the most expensive formulation on the market. Compare the efficacy of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®, Merz Pharmaceuticals) to onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®, Allergan) for treatment of OAB. Study design: A single-blinded, randomized non-inferiority trial of IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®, Merz Pharmaceuticals) to OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®, Allergan) in treatment of OAB. Target Population: The study findings will be applicable to all women 18 years of age or older with OAB symptoms associated with urinary urgency incontinence. Procedure: All patients that presents to urogynecology clinic at Walter Reed National Medical Military Center will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients that meet criteria will be offered to participate in the study. After enrollment patient will complete demographics data sheet, 24 hours bladder diary, OAB-q SF, PGI-S, PISQ-IR. Patients will be randomized by the principal investigator and the allocated treatment will be reveled by the treating provider to the treating provider only. Patient will have a follow up at 2-6 weeks and 6-9 months after procedure. During the follow up appointments patient will be asked to fill out 24-hour voiding diary, OAB-q SF, PGI-I, PGI-S, and PISQ-IR surveys.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of Ultra Sound (US) guided radiofrequency stellate ganglion block (SGB) and radiofrequency Thoracic Paravertebral block (TPVB) comparing to US-guided SGB or TPVB alone on the post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS).
The goal of this observational study is to explore significant indicators to predict the early prognosis and late prognosis in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome.
The investigators will characterize and compare protein signatures between groups with and without post-infection irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). From previous Healthy Nevada Project (HNP) participants, at least 60 patients with PI-IBS and 60 healthy controls will undergo additional proteomics testing, age, sex and race/ethnicity-matched healthy. The investigators will use proteomic testing to detect, quantify and characterize serum protein biomarkers and protein signatures, and compare biomarkers and signatures between the patient groups of interest. Serum samples will be analyzed by the Nevada Proteomics Center. Samples will first undergo protein digestion, then peptides are separated using liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectral analysis is performed using an Orbitrap Eclipse mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, San Jose, CA) using data-independent acquisition (DIA). Library generation and data analysis will be performed using Spectronaut software (Biognosys, Schlieren, Switzerland). The Nevada Proteomics Center and Bioinformatics Center will be engaged during the data analyses comparing biomarkers and signatures between the patient groups of interest. This research aim has the potential to add to our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of PI-IBS and to create reliable differentiating protein biomarkers to better diagnose PI-IBS.
TMS has been safely and reliably delivered at the Harquail Centre for over 5 years, with a primary focus on conventional rTMS protocols for treatment-resistant depression. Recently, the investgator team has gained the capability to deliver sham-controlled intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) rTMS. Unlike conventional high frequency rTMS, which was used in the previous sham-controlled rTMS PCS pilot study, iTBS is a patterned form of stimulation that recapitulates endogenous activity patterns of neural circuits pairing gamma frequency (50Hz) burst pulses coupled in a theta frequency rhythm (5Hz).12 iTBS delivers 600 pulses in just over 3 minutes with similar or greater effects on neural plasticity compared to conventional rTMS (taking over 30-45 minutes) and similar tolerability and efficacy in trials of depression. Furthermore, novel accelerated iTBS protocols stimulating the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) over 8-10 treatments, 50 minutes apart over a 5 day interval has recently demonstrated robust efficacy in depression and received recent FDA approval. Thus, accelerated iTBS can be delivered in a single week of treatment compared to 6 weeks with conventional rTMS methods. Finally, the investigators recently acquired the technology to integrate MRI neuroimage-guided stimulation, which would allow to target specific brain regions/networks implicated in PCS at high spatial resolution. No studies to date have investigated image-guided accelerated iTBS rTMS for the treatment of PCS.
The study is an extension of two previous studies (HGT-HIT-046 [NCT01506141] and SHP609-302 [NCT02412787]). Participants must have completed one of the previous studies. The main aim of this study is to collect more information about the safety of the treatments, idursulfase-IT and elaprase, in children and adults with Hunter syndrome and cognitive impairment. Participants will receive the same treatment as in the previous studies.
