Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if acupuncture in addition to behavioral changes can better treat in women with bladder pain syndrome (also known as interstitial cystitis) that have not received other treatments. The main question it aims to answer is: Does acupuncture improve pain symptoms on the Interstitial Cystitis Index? Researchers will compare six (6) weeks behavioral management alone to behavioral management and acupuncture. Participants will - complete surveys about their bladder pain symptoms - make behavioral changes that have been shown to improve bladder pain symptoms - attend six (6) weekly acupuncture sessions - attend six (6) weekly physical therapy sessions after finishing acupuncture
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional disorder of the digestive system characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with bowel movements or changes in bowel habits. Although there are reviews and guidelines for treating IBS, the complexity and diversity of IBS manifestations make treatment difficult. By detecting and exploring the biological characteristics presented by the relevant meridian point reaction, this project clarified the specificity and regularity of the connection between the acupoint and the Zangfu reflected by this phenomenon, and conducted correlation analysis based on the intestinal flora, tryptophan metabolite levels and related scales of patients with IBS.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Taiwan has been increasing yearly. In this project, the database of blood test results from healthy and metabolic syndromes individuals will be analyzed to identify the small molecules related to the severity of metabolic syndrome. These identified small molecules could be used as biomarkers to predict the development of metabolic syndromes in the future.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with Treatment-refractory Tourette's syndrome (TR-TS) implantation targeting the Antero-medial globus pallidus interna (GPi), Antero-medial globus pallidus interna (amGPi), Postero-ventrolateral GPi (pvGPi), Centromedian nucleus, substantia periventricularis and nucleus ventro-oralis internus (Cm-Spv-Voi), Centre median nucleus and nucleus ventro-oralis (Cm-Voi), or Nucleus Accumbens/ Anterior Limb of Internal Capsule (NA-ALIC), or other unreported nuclei targets.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, efficacy and feasibility of the use of one standard dose of siltuximab prior to teclistamab infusion. Siltuximab is an investigational (experimental) drug that works by binding directly to human interleukin-6 (IL-6). IL-6 is a cytokine; these are products that are secreted by certain cells of the immune system and effect other cells in participant's body. IL-6 regulates immune, inflammatory and metabolic processes. Siltuximab has already been tested and approved for use by the FDA in participants with a condition called multicentric Castleman's disease, which is a lymphoproliferative disorder. This study is being conducted to investigate if administration of a single dose of siltuximab will reduce the rates of and severity of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Immune effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) in participants prior to teclistamab administration. CRS and ICANS are adverse effects commonly experienced by participants being treated with teclistamab that are related to inflammation in the body. Siltuximab is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prophylactic use prior to administration of teclistamab infusion.
To breakthrough the bottleneck identified, we will conduct a cross-sectional study to develop a symptom clustering model for depression and anxiety. A wide range of statistical methods as well as machine learning approaches were explored, and a cohesive hierarchical clustering algorithm will be used. After developing the model, a symptom-matched intervention program based on problem solving therapy will be formulated. We are supposed to examine whether its use for personalizing symptom-matched psychological treatment can lead to improved patient outcomes, compared with usual care. This project is expected to provide a new and precise method for the emotion management, which will provide a standardized intervention pathway combining screening with treatment for the management of depression symptom and anxiety symptom. A preciser intervention matched to individual symptoms may provide important insight in improving patient outcome as well as a standardized mood management pathway targeting to the early detection and intervention for community residents.
The present study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group clinical study that assesses the effect of pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila on the complaints of subjects with moderate to severe diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). The trial is also evaluating the potential of pAkk on anxiety, low mood and stress of the participants, as well as its safety and tolerability. The intervention duration for all the study participants is 12 weeks (intervention phase). Subsequently, the participants will be invited to return to site for an end of study assessment after 21 days of no intervention (post-intervention phase).
The overall aim of the study is to improve understanding of refeeding syndrome (RFS) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) using metabolomics. Patients are included as part of a prospective multicenter observational study on phosphate disorders in the ICU. Blood samples are collected day 1-7 of ICU stay. Samples from patients who develop refeeding hypophosphatemia and matched controls without hypophosphatemia are analysed for metabolomics and proteomics. Untargeted analyses will be performed to identify the affected metabolic pathways. The investigators will also perform AUROC analyses to identify potential biomarkers for early detection of RFS.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the best way to manage evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).
objectives: identify physiologic, dietary, and environment triggers of severe pain exacerbations in children with CRPS.
