Filter by:This research is a clinical trial aimed at improving the gut microbiome of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) through a temple stay experience. Participants in the study are expected to participate in a temple stay experience for a maximum of 8 days. During the temple stay experience, participants are required to fill out a daily symptom questionnaire related to irritable bowel syndrome and record their diet and bowel movements using a dedicated mobile application. Upon completion of the temple stay, participants will conduct an evaluation of personal satisfaction with the experience. Through this, the study aims to collect and analyze data related to the Templestay experience with the goal of improving the gut microbiome of patients with IBS.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in the clinical characteristics of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome after the administration of SC-FOS in the enteral diet compared to patients with a standard diet.
Background: There is low quality evidence supporting the use of rehabilitation in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), despite it is the first line approach in the Guidelines . Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) may be useful to improve pain and function at mid term (6 months). Graded Pain Exposure Approaches (GPE) seem to improve pain but not function at mid term. In other type of chronic pain conditions GPE offers better outcomes than "pain contingent" (exercises avoiding pain) approaches at short term (3 months) and similar at mid term. Following the recommendations of Authors, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined therapy of GMI and GPE in people with CRPS type 1. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a combined therapy of GPE and GMI in front of only GMI in people with CRPS-1 and the clinical impact on the primary outcome (Severity of the disease) of the intervention. Design: Feasibility Randomized controlled Trial, single blind of evaluator, 2 parallel arms. Measurement pre-intervention, post-intervention , 1 and 3 months follow-up. Population: People 18 years old or above with CRPS type 1 diagnosed by Budapest criteria and (1) without any psychological or psychiatric disease, (2) nor any neurosensorial issue that could compromise the realization of the therapy proposed (3) neither any major surgery intervention related to CRPS (e.g neurostimulation or sympathectomy) (4) nor minor intervention on the last 3 months (e.g. nerve blocks). Outcomes: Primary outcomes: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Severity Scale (severity of the disease) and Safety Outcomes ( oedema, pain, temperature, Range of Motion). Secondary outcomes: 5Q-5D-5L (quality of life), SF-MPQ (Quality, Intensity and location of pain), PPT (pain pressure threshold), CPM ( pain inhibition pathways), FAAM or Quick Dash (function), PCS (catastrophism), Self efficacy in chronic pain questionnaire (self-efficacy), Dynamometry (Hand Grip strength),
Apart from its use to provide insight in IBS disease courses and in clinical research, ESM can provide patients with feedback about individual triggers of their symptoms, and thereby function as part of a personalized therapeutic strategy. This is also true for IBD-IBS. Treatment strategies in IBS and IBD-IBS are largely based on reassurance, identification and elimination of triggering factors, and in more severe cases pharmaco- and psychotherapy. The ESM approach has the potential to increase therapeutic efficacy in IBS and IBD-IBS and will assist patients in disease self-management. The Traqq application can provide more detailed information about the dietary pattern of IBS and IBD-IBS patients. Traqq in combination with ESM will give an overview of abdominal pain and associated symptoms and psychosocial factors are exposed to during the day. The insight provided using ESM and Traqq may improve patient understanding of their personal symptom dynamics and triggers, as well as the physician's insight into the symptom patters of the specific patients, which may aid treatment choice and eventually improve the outcome of any treatment provided in daily clinical care.
To evaluate the efficacy of three regimens of sub anesthetic dose of ketamine infusion in relieving chronic refractory pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome
The aim of this study is to better understand how tenapanor affects the metagenomics and metabolomics of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). Tenapanor is the newest FDA-approved agent for IBS-C. It is a small molecule that inhibits the NHE3 receptor, leading to impaired sodium and water absorption in the intestine. Previous clinical trials comparing tenapanor to placebo showed that a 50 mg dose of tenapanor led to increased bowel movements and decreased abdominal pain. This study consists of an 8-week treatment period in which subjects will ingest one capsule of tenapanor (50 mg per dose), twice daily, and send in stool samples following 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has a close association with ischemic stroke; however, the optimal treatment strategy for APS-related stroke has yet to be established. The clinical guidelines suggest using warfarin for APS-related stroke, but these suggestions are largely based on retrospective studies from the 1990s and expert opinion, rather than high-quality clinical trials. Moreover, the evidence on the role of antiplatelet drugs other than aspirin (e.g., clopidogrel) in APS-related stroke is particularly limited. Considering the relatively young age of patients with APS and the high clinical burden of using warfarin, it is necessary to verify whether warfarin is essential. Thus, the investigators aim to compare clopidogrel-based antiplatelet therapy and warfarin as a secondary preventive medication for patients with APS-related stroke. APS-STROKE is an exploratory, multicenter, prospective, randomized, open, blinded-endpoint clinical trial. Adult patients with definite APS who have a history of ischemic stroke will be included. Patients with high-risk APS (triple positivity or persistently high titers of anti-cardiolipin or anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies), systemic lupus erythematous, or indications for continued antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy will be excluded. Eligible patients will be 1:1 randomized to receive clopidogrel-based antiplatelet therapy or warfarin. Patients assigned to the clopidogrel-based antiplatelet therapy group will be permitted to use additional antiplatelet drugs other than clopidogrel at the investigator's discretion. The primary outcome is a composite of any death, major adverse cardiovascular events, systemic thromboembolic events, and major bleeding during a follow-up period of at least 2 years. This study would provide valuable information for determining the optimal secondary prevention strategy for APS-related stroke.
This study aims to compare the rate at which oxygen uptake adapts to submaximal, moderate intensity exercise (oxygen uptake kinetics) between adults with and without Down syndrome, to determine the contribution of oxygen uptake kinetics to exercise intolerance of adults with Down syndrome. Additionally, the study will investigate the role of oxygen delivery (by the cardiovascular circuit) and oxygen utilization (in the mitochondria) on the oxygen uptake kinetics of adults with Down syndrome to identify specific areas which adults with Down syndrome could benefit from targeting during exercise training. Overall, this study aims to contribute to the knowledge on the exercise capacity of adults with Down syndrome, in order to improve the way adults with Down syndrome participate in and benefit from exercise. Participants will perform a maximal exercise test on a treadmill, and walk on a treadmill at a submaximal, moderate intensity speed and incline, during which oxygen uptake at the lungs, cardiac output, and oxygen utilization in the muscle will be measured.
Fludarabine and busulfan becomes standard conditioning regimen for adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplasia syndrome (MDS). The overall relapse rate is 15~20%. More recently, the investigators demonstrated that conditioning regimen with dual alkylating agents consistent of fludarabine, busulfan and melphalan achieved a low incidence of relapse (<10%). This multiple-center randomize study is aim to compare the transplantation outcome in adult patients with AML/MDS undergoing allo-HSCT with conditioning regimen of Flu-Bu4 vs. FLu-Bu-Mel.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate a beneficial effect in reducing symptoms that negatively affect the quality of life of IBS patients, and to demonstrate a positive effect on inflammatory and intestinal function markers.
