Filter by:This study aims to investigate the feasibility of the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for symptoms associated with Visual Snow syndrome (VS).
Studies have suggested that Obese patients with metabolic syndrome(MetS)were correlated with knee joint degeneration and osteoarthritis. However, no studies demonstrate the relationship between obese patients with metabolic syndrome and degenerate meniscus lesions and its knee function.The aim is to detect the correlation between obese patients with metabolic syndrome and degenerate meniscus injuries.
This measurement validation study will use qualitative and quantitative methodology to evaluate the Observer-Reported Communication Ability Measure (ORCA), to appropriately capture communication abilities in individuals with Rett syndrome. The ORCA Measure is a caregiver-reported questionnaire that collects caregiver observations of their child's communication abilities including expressive, receptive and pragmatic communication types. Caregivers will participate via phone interviews and online surveys. Approximately 270 participants will be enrolled.
Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by dysfunction of the exocrine glands, which results in sicca symptoms in affected patients. JAK/STAT signaling pathway is activated and playing as a key pathway in the differentiation and activation of many lymphocytes, so that affect the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases including pSS. JAK inhibitors have also been widely used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. Some studies have confirmed that JAK/STAT pathway is activated in patients with pSS, and JAK inhibitor may be effective for pSS. Filgotinib, the selective JAK1 inhibitor, is one of the "secondary generation" JAK inhibitors developed these years. Lee et al. found that filgotinib suppressed the IFN-induced transcription of differentially expressed genes and BAFF in human primary salivary gland epithelial cells. In addition, filgotinib-treated mice exhibited increased salivary flow rates and marked reductions in the lymphocytic infiltration of SGs, indicating that JAK inhibitors may be a novel therapeutic approach for pSS. A randomized phase 2 study is currently in progress to assess the safety and efficacy of filgotinib in adult subjects with active Sjogren's syndrome. So far, there is no evidence of the safety and efficacy of baricitinib in patients with pSS. Baricitinib, an oral inhibitor of JAK1/JAK2, was the second JAK inhibitor approved for clinical use in RA. It has been approved for the treatment for moderate to severe active RA in adult patients who have responded inadequately to, or are intolerant to, one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The efficacy and safety of baricitinib in RA have been extensively evaluated in pre-clinical animal models of arthritis, as well as in clinical studies. There are also some reports of baricitinib used in other autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis and PMR/GCA. In a double-blind, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, 24-week phase 2 study across 11 countries, baricitinib treatment at a dose of 4 mg dose significantly improved the signs and symptoms of active SLE, with a high-resolution rate of 67% in SLEDAI-2K arthritis or rash, and showed a safety profile consistent with previous studies into baricitinib to treat RA. The study focused on specific organ manifestations, which benefited patients treated with baricitinib with rash and arthritis. So far, only one study has focused on the potential efficacy of baricitinib in SS. In that study, Aota et al. demonstrated baricitinib suppressed IFN-γ-induced CXCL10 expression in human salivary gland ductal cells and suggested its potential for the treatment of SS. Based on these, we thought that baricitinib might have therapeutic benefit in patients with pSS. We plan to explore the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in patients with pSS in this single-center, prospective, open label, 24-weeks pilot study. We plan to enroll 11 patients diagnosed as active pSS in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China. They will be treated with baricitinib 2mg once a day for 24 weeks. We'll evaluate the disease activity mainly by ESSDAI and ESSPRI score. And we'll also record the adverse reactions. The primary endpoint of the study is the change of ESSDAI score at 12 weeks. The secondary endpoints include: the minimal clinically important improvement (MCII) of ESSDAI, which was defined as an improvement of ESSDAI of at least three points; the change of ESSDAI score at 24 weeks; the change of ESSPRI and PGA score at 12 and 24 weeks; and remissions of organ involvement at 12 and 24 weeks. The main inclusion criteria include: (1) ≥18 years old, (2) fulfill the criteria of the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification for primary SS, (3) with moderate or high activity of SS, which was defined as EULAR primary SS disease activity index (ESSDAI) ≥5, and (4) with serological activity defined as elevated C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and/or immunoglobulin G (IgG) level (excluding acute and chronic infection and other factors). The main exclusion criteria include: (1) patients diagnosed with an active central nervous system disease or dysfunction of a major organ (heart, liver, kidney); (2) pregnant or lactating women; (3) current severe infections; and (5) undergoing glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants treatment with stable dosage for less than 12 weeks.
A randomized controlled trial comparing a comprehensive supervised training regimen with a validated home-based regimen for subacromial impingement syndrome.
The aim was to determine the coronavirus anxiety levels and emotional eating status of cases with diagnosis of MetS according to diagnostic criteria published by the International Diabetic Federation (IDF) in 2005 and healthy individuals with similar BMI to MetS subjects.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor, sleep-related disorder characterized by urgency to move the legs during inactivity or resting state. Although the exact mechanism is not clearly understood, sleep disturbances and dopamine deficiency may regarded as a potential contributing factor for autonomic dysfunction. The objective of the study is to evaluate autonomic functions and determine possible associations between autonomic dysfunction with clinical factors in patients with RLS.
The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness and satisfaction of integrative Korean medicine for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome(FBSS) by observation patients treated with integrative Korean medicine. This study is a prospective observational study. The subjects for study are patients diagnosed with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome(FBSS) and who have been admitted to Gangnam Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine and Bucheon Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine for 2011.11-2014.09. Medical records of selected patients will be analyzed, and telephone surveys will be conducted for each patient. The survey questions are Numeric rating scale (NRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), quality of life, and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), etc.
