## Implementation of Contemporary Coronary CT Angiography in Clinical Practice - **NCT ID**: NCT06273033 - **Study ID**: CONCORDE - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-10-10 - **Completion Date**: 2025-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Humanitas Hospital, Italy ### Study Description Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has been recognized as the first-line diagnostic test for most patients with suspected coronary syndrome, often acting as a gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography. It is therefore pivotal to understand instances of discrepancies that are encountered in clinical practice. Moreover, most of the literature on this topic relies on obsolete machines or definitions of coronary artery stenosis that cannot be defined as severe.The investigators aim 1) to report the real word data on the performance of last-generation CCTA in identifying obstructive coronary artery disease (also considering different thresholds of stenosis, i.e., moderate or severe) and 2) to identify predictors of discrepancies. ### Conditions - Coronary Artery Disease of Significant Bypass Graft - Coronary Syndrome - Coronary Arteriosclerosis ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Diagnostic accuracy of CCTA for identifying coronary artery luminal stenosis ≥70% in a patient with suspected CAD. **Secondary Outcomes** - Diagnostic accuracy of CCTA for identifying coronary artery luminal stenosis ≥50% in a patient with suspected CAD. - Diagnostic accuracy of CCTA for identifying coronary artery luminal stenosis ≥70% in a vessel of a patient with suspected CAD - Diagnostic accuracy of CCTA for identifying coronary artery luminal stenosis ≥50% in a vessel of a patient with suspected CAD ### Location - **Facility**: IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, Rozzano, Milano, 20089, Italy @@

## LONG TERM EFFECTS OF SPINAL CORD STIMULATION - **NCT ID**: NCT06272955 - **Study ID**: H-54417 - **Status**: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION - **Start Date**: 2024-01-04 - **Completion Date**: 2025-06-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Nora Vanegas ### Study Description Parkinson Disease (PD) patients experience a variety of motor issues such as walking difficulties, loss of balance, and freezing while walking, which impacts their quality of life. Some symptoms, like freezing of gait (FOG), do not respond to medications typically used to treat PD. Current surgical procedures used to alleviate PD symptoms also do not always improve FOG. Since many traditional therapies have failed for the treatment of FOG, researchers have proposed the use of newer treatments. Recent research in animal models and clinical human data using Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has produced promising results, specifically showing improvement in FOG with the use of SCS in patients with PD.The purpose of this study is to explore the long-term motor and non-motor effects of SCS in PD patients after completing participation on H-49023. The investigators hypothesize that SCS significantly decreases FOG episodes in patients with PD.1. Assess the long-term safety, tolerability and preliminary evidence of effectiveness of upper thoracic spinal cord stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's (PD) patients.2.

## An Observational Study to Identify New Health Problems Arising After an Intensive Care Unit Admission in People With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the United States - **NCT ID**: NCT06272942 - **Study ID**: 22722 - **Status**: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-01-31 - **Completion Date**: 2025-08-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Bayer ### Study Description This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) are studied.ARDS is a life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs making breathing difficult.In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or any changes to health care.People who are admitted to ICU for serious illnesses, like ARDS, often experience new health problems during and after their ICU stays. These health problems that may include physical, mental, and/or emotional disorders, are called post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Identifying these new health problems early can help people by timely treatments and care.In this study, researchers want to identify any health problems that arise after ICU admission in people with ARDS in the United States (US). To do this, researchers will collect information on health problems, treatments, medicines, and healthcare visits in people with ARDS, 1 year before and after an ICU admission.They will then look to see whether the health problems are in areas that have been described as the post intensive care syndrome (PICS).In addition, they will measure healthcare related costs in the one year after admission and compare it to the one year prior to admission.Researchers will also compare this information with data collected for people with pneumonia who did not require ICU admission. This will help them to identify any new health problems arising due to ICU stays.The data will come from participants' medical claims information stored in the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart database from 2016 to 2022. The claims data will only be collected for people in the US.Researchers will collect data from participants admitted to ICU for ARDS for a maximum of 1 year before and after their stay. ### Conditions - Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) - Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - An ICU admission and a temporally related ARDS diagnosis ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Morbidity - Post ICU Syndrome-related morbidity - Incident morbidity - Post ICU Syndrome-related incident morbidity - Difference in prevalence rates pre versus post index hospitalization - Average total healthcare costs based on healthcare billing data in the one year post index ICU admission **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Bayer, Whippany, New Jersey, 07981, United States @@

## Forced Oscillation and Breathing Pattern in Asthma - **NCT ID**: NCT06272773 - **Study ID**: IRAS Ref: 333663 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03 - **Completion Date**: 2025-03 - **Lead Sponsor**: Karl Sylvester ### Study Description Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterised by airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and airway hyperresponsiveness. Accurate and reliable assessment of lung function is crucial in diagnosing and monitoring asthma. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a non-invasive method that has gained attention in recent years as a valuable tool for evaluating respiratory mechanics in asthma.FOT involves applying small amplitude oscillations at various frequencies to the respiratory system and measuring the resulting pressure and flow responses. These measurements provide valuable insights into the mechanical properties of the airways, including resistance, compliance, and reactance. FOT offers several advantages over traditional spirometry, such as its ability to assess peripheral airway function, sensitivity to small airway abnormalities, and ease of use, particularly in young children or individuals with severe airflow limitation. FOT also allows for assessment of respiratory mechanics in individuals who may struggle with performing spirometry manoeuvres.However, it is unclear whether a change in breathing pattern in patients with obstructive lung disease impacts the assessment of a response to treatment utilising FOT.Several studies have demonstrated a high prevalence of Breathing Pattern Disorders (BPDs) in individuals with asthma. These findings suggest that BPDs may be common in asthma and could contribute to the manifestation and severity of respiratory symptoms. Evidence suggests that BPDs can adversely affect pulmonary function in individuals with asthma. One study demonstrated that children with asthma and dysfunctional breathing exhibited significantly reduced forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) compared to asthmatics without BPD. This suggests that abnormal breathing patterns may contribute to airflow limitation in asthma, leading to decreased lung function.We therefore wish to determine the impact of different breathing frequencies on parameters measured using FOT in patients diagnosed with asthma and concomitant obstructive lung function abnormality. ### Conditions - Asthma ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Forced Oscillation Test ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Change in airway resistance at 5 Hertz (Hz) and 19Hz **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy and Neuropsychological Development in Children - **NCT ID**: NCT06272721 - **Study ID**: 6272 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-02-19 - **Completion Date**: 2024-05-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS ### Study Description Thyroid dysfunction, particularly hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmunity, impacts a significant proportion of pregnant women, affecting 3% and 17% respectively. The management of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels is crucial, with subclinical hypothyroidism often defined by a TSH upper reference limit of 4 mU/L, and overt hypothyroidism by TSH levels above 10 mU/L and potentially low free thyroxine (FT4) levels. Levothyroxine (LT4) treatment is strongly advised for TSH levels above 10 mU/L, with the timing of intervention being critical during the first trimester for optimal fetal brain development.Research shows that untreated maternal hypothyroidism can significantly impact the neuropsychological development of the child, affecting cognitive, verbal, and motor skills. Even subclinical maternal hypothyroidism has been associated with lower IQ and motor scores in children. Early pregnancy intervention is key, as treatment after the first trimester may not improve children's neurocognitive outcomes.Regarding sensory and linguistic development, evidence is mixed, but recent studies suggest that maternal hypothyroidism can lead to expressive language delays. The Development Quotient (DQ) is used to assess cognitive and motor development in children, with the Griffiths Mental Development Scales II being a common tool.This study aims to explore the effects of treated maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy on children's neurodevelopment, focusing on learning and language. It includes 31 women diagnosed with hypothyroidism and a control group of 21 euthyroid women, along with their children. The study emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment of maternal hypothyroidism for preventing adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in offspring. Statistical analysis will be conducted using SPSS, with a focus on maternal-fetal outcomes and cognitive-neuropsychological outcomes, highlighting the significance of early intervention. ### Conditions - Thyroid Dysfunction - Pregnancy Related - Language Development ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NON_RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: DIAGNOSTIC ### Interventions - Griffiths Scale ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - total development quotient measured using the Griffiths scale **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A.

## Cumulative and Booster Effects of Multisession Prefrontal tDCS in Adolescents With ASD - **NCT ID**: NCT06272669 - **Study ID**: HSEARS20220216004 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2022-06-02 - **Completion Date**: 2025-12 - **Lead Sponsor**: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University ### Study Description Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by disturbances in communication, poor social skills, and aberrant behavior. To date, ASD has no known cure, and the disorder remains a highly disabling condition. Recently, transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, has shown great promise as a potentially effective and cost-effective tool for reducing the core symptoms in patients with autism, such as anxiety, aggression, impulsivity, and inattention. Although the preliminary findings in patients with ASD are encouraging, it remains to be determined whether this experimental data can translate into benefits in real life. Further studies are needed to determine the factors that can lengthen the therapeutic effects or cognitive benefits of tDCS, and to determine possible risk factors associated with relapse in patients with ASD. Booster sessions of tDCS is an important component of treatment planning and prognosis and may promote better outcomes to control for resurgence of symptoms. This study has three aims. First, the investigators aim to evaluate the therapeutic effects of tDCS on improving cognitive function in patients with ASD. Second, the investigators aim to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying the neuro-enhancing effects of tDCS in patients with ASD. Third, the investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of booster treatment cycles of tDCS for enhancing cognitive and social functions in individuals with ASD. ### Conditions - Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation - Autistic Spectrum Disorder - Electroencephalography ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: CROSSOVER - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Active-tDCS - Sham-tDCS ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Change in social responsiveness - Social Responsiveness Scale-2nd edition (SRS-2) **Secondary Outcomes** - Clinical response in tDCS outcome - Change in neuropsychological measures - CANTAB® cognitive tests ### Location - **Facility**: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Hong Kong @@

At present, non-surgical treatment methods are often used, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), radiation therapy, and systemic anti-tumor therapy. However, whether it is surgical treatment or non-surgical treatment, commonly used liver cancer related biomarkers in clinical practice during the evaluation of treatment efficacy or regular follow-up of patients include AFP, AFP-L3%, DCP, etc. , but there are no reports on whether AKR1B10 can be used for the efficacy evaluation of these treatment methods.Therefore, this project aims to explore the clinical value of AKR1B10 in evaluating the efficacy of liver cancer treatment. ### Conditions - Hepatocellular Carcinoma ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - comparison of liver cancer markers AKR1B10, AFP, AFP-L3% and DCP before and after TACE **Secondary Outcomes** - long-term survival (1-year, 3-year, 5-year) - progression- free - time ### Location - **Facility**: HebeiMUTH, Shijia Zhuang, Hebei, 050000, China @@
## Comparison Between Optical Coherence Tomography and Intravascular Ultrasound for Intermediate Left Main Coronary Artery Lesions - **NCT ID**: NCT06272643 - **Study ID**: EPIC36-EMPERATRIZ - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-04 - **Completion Date**: 2026-01-20 - **Lead Sponsor**: Fundación EPIC ### Study Description Significant coronary disease of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is found in 4%-5% of all coronary angiography procedures. Classically, it has been determined that a significant angiographic stenosis should reach at least 50% of the vessel diameter by visual estimation, which corresponds to 75% of the vessel area. However, angiography has a number of limitations inherent to the technique and location of stenosis, and other techniques are therefore available for evaluation. Intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) deserves, together with the pressure guidewire, special consideration in determining the severity assessment (anatomical and functional) of lesions in this location. Using IVUS the most commonly used cut-off value is 6 mm2. in ambiguous lesions of the LMCA, a MLA \>6 mm2 would indicate no revascularisation, a MLA \<4.5-5 mm2 would indicate revascularisation, and MLA values between 4.5-5 and 6 mm2 would make it advisable to use FRF/iFR to decide. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is another intracoronary imaging modality, with greater resolution and significant differences from IVUS. no MLA cut-off point with OCT has been demonstrated for the management of LMCA lesions. Due to the differences in imaging with both techniques, the thresholds established as cut-off points in IVUS cannot be extrapolated to OCT. The objective is to compare the minimal luminal area by IVUS and OCT of angiographically intermediate LCMA lesions and to assess the prognostic value of TCFA assessed by OCT. ### Conditions - Coronary Disease ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound) and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - To assess the agreement between minimum luminal area measured by IVUS and OCT in intermediate LCMA lesions **Secondary Outcomes** - Cardiac Death - Cardiovascular Death - Acute myocardial infarction of treated/functionally assessed lesion - Acute myocardial infarction of any lesion - Need for revascularisation of lesion treated/functionally assessed - Need for revascularisation of any lesion - Secondary efficacy endpoint: Clear Image Length - Extend of detectable EEL in LM - Correlation between contrast volume used and results, as well as the average contrast volume used in the study. ### Location - **Facility**: Hospital Universitario Juan Ramon Jimenez, Huelva, N/A, 21005, Spain @@

## Comparison of Patient Satisfaction With Home Induction and In-patient Induction. - **NCT ID**: NCT06272591 - **Study ID**: IRBN1192023/CHUSTE - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-11-20 - **Completion Date**: 2024-05 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne ### Study Description Induced labour is a medical intervention designed to initiate or accelerate the childbirth process when clinically indicated.Induced labour concerns 25.8% of pregnant women in France, according to the latest National Perinatal Survey 2021. This rate is rising steadily, since in 2016 induction concerned 22% of pregnancies. There are many medical indications for induction, both maternal and foetal. Induced labour in hospitals is beginning to reach its limits, given the reduction in the number of nursing staff and the reduction in the number of beds available. In some cases, patients are hospitalised for 24 to 72 hours before going into labour. In this context, the place where the birth takes place, whether at home or in hospital, is essential, with a potential impact on patient satisfaction and the experience of induction.Cervical ripening can be a difficult experience for women, with a feeling of loss of control at this crucial stage. The duration of induction is one of the factors that women would like to see changed when asked about the aftermath of induction. The option of inducing at home might seem to improve women's experience and reduce the length of their stay in hospital. ### Conditions - Induced; Birth - Pregnancy ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Preliminary search in the patient's file - A posteriori research in the patient's file - First questionnaire : choice of induction method reason for choice - Second questionnaire : experience of induction ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Questionnaire on patients' experience of induction in hospital and at home. - Questionnaire on patients' satisfaction of induction in hospital and at home. **Secondary Outcomes** - Questionnaire on patients' choice of induction method - Questionnaire on reasons for choosing home induction. - Maternal morbidity - Maternal mortality - Neonatal morbidity - Neonatal mortality ### Location - **Facility**: Chu Saint Etienne, St Etienne, N/A, 42100, France @@

## Spinal Cord Stimulation Combined With Exercise in Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome - **NCT ID**: NCT06272539 - **Study ID**: 2023 101435 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-01 - **Completion Date**: 2026-01-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Fundación Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir ### Study Description Introduction. At the neurophysiological level, it is possible to observe an increase in the central processing of pain in patients diagnosed with persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome (PSPS-T1/2), potentially stemming from dysfunctions in the endogenous facilitation and inhibition of pain. Administration of high doses of spinal cord stimulation to individuals with PSPS-T1/2 may induce supraspinal descending activation. Similarly, exercise is recognized as a fundamental aspect of spinal pain management. Studies have demonstrated its impact on neurophysiological factors, including the release of spinal and supraspinal beta-endorphins, which activate μ-opioid receptors. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to examine the effect of SCS in combination with lumbo-pelvic stability core training on perceived low back pain, quality of life and disability in failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) patients. Methods/Materials. A double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) has been designed. All participants will be randomized from a pre-set sequence. The intervention design has been elaborated from the CONSORT guidelines. This study protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee in research of Salamanca Health Area (protocol number PI 2023 101435 in (24/01/2024) in accordance with the ethical guidelines of the Helsinki declaration. Sample size was calculated using G Power® Sample size software (University of Düsseldorf). The calculation was based on a moderate effect size of 0.4 (partial η2 = 0.40, α = .05, power = 0.90), resulting in a total of 28 patients. Assuming a 30% dropout rate, 36 participants will be recruited in total. Two sessions per week will be scheduled for 8 weeks with a total of 16 sessions.

## Exploring Methods for Treating Hypergastrinemia in Patients With Autoimmune Gastritis - **NCT ID**: NCT06272500 - **Study ID**: 2024-KY-0146-001 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-01 - **Completion Date**: 2024-05-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Jianning Yao ### Study Description Autoimmune atrophic gastritis (AAG) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease that primarily affects the gastric body and fundus while sparing the antrum. Its characteristics include destruction of gastric wall cells, loss of intrinsic factors, and atrophy of the gastric mucosa. Endoscopic examination reveals features of reverse atrophy, with significant atrophy in the gastric body and fundus, appearing as a mosaic of red and white patches. Currently, AAG is believed to result from a pathological CD4+ T-cell-mediated autoimmune response against the gastric H+/K+-ATPase. CD4+ T lymphocytes target the parietal cells' H+/K+-ATPase, stimulating plasma cells to secrete autoantibodies, including parietal cell antibodies (PCA) and intrinsic factor antibodies (IFA). The former plays a key role in parietal cell destruction and glandular atrophy. AAG is considered a premalignant condition, with the potential development of gastric dysplasia, cancer, and type 1 gastric neuroendocrine tumours (type 1 g-NET).Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (g-NETs), also known as gastric carcinoids, account for approximately 23% of gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Clinically, g-NETs are mainly classified into three types. Type III is typically sporadic tumors associated with normal gastrin levels and poor prognosis. Although type 1 g-NETs caused by AAG are usually well-differentiated, studies have reported that 8%-23% of type 1 g-NETs extending into the deep submucosal layer may metastasize to regional lymph nodes or even to the liver. Furthermore, 3% of patients may develop neuroendocrine carcinoma, highlighting the need for appropriate attention.Due to the destruction of gastric glands (including parietal and chief cells) in AAG patients, there is a deficiency in intrinsic factor, gastric acid, and a decrease in pepsinogen I (PG-I) levels. Insufficient gastric acid secretion leads to a compensatory increase in gastrin secretion by G cells in the gastric antrum, which acts on receptors present in enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL) in the gastric body and fundus, promoting ECL cell proliferation. Prolonged stimulation by hypergastrinemia can result in the development of ECL cell tumors, namely type 1 g-NETs. Considering the close association between type 1 g-NETs and AAG, primarily related to hypergastrinemia resulting from reduced gastric acid secretion, it is hypothesized that supplementation with gastric acid could provide negative feedback regulation of gastrin, reducing the risk of type 1 g-NET development in AAG patients. This study aims to investigate the impact of oral apple cider vinegar on gastrin levels in AAG patients, thus exploring a simple and cost-effective method to reduce the risk of type 1 g-NETs in AAG patients. ### Conditions - Autoimmune Gastritis ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - oral administration of a compound digestive enzyme capsule - oral administration of apple cider vinegar - oral administration of both the compound digestive enzyme capsule and apple cider vinegar ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - serum gastrin levels - serum gastrin levels **Secondary Outcomes** - the adverse reaction rates ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## Feasibility and Diagnostic Relevance of Recording an ECG Trace With a Connected Watch - **NCT ID**: NCT06272396 - **Study ID**: CHUBX 2023/64 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-20 - **Completion Date**: 2028-03-20 - **Lead Sponsor**: University Hospital, Bordeaux ### Study Description Over the past few years, various systems have been developed to record ECG traces on an ambulatory basis. The latest connected watch models feature 2-electrode ECG recording. This single or six derivations can be used to derive a wealth of information about the heart's rhythm. The information that can be derived from an ECG recording with a derivation goes far beyond̀ simple differentiation between atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm. In contrast, in various clinical situations, a tracing restricted to an ICD may prove falsely normal, wrongly reassuring a patient and delaying management. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity of ECG-1D or 6D recordings from a connected watch in measuring electrical parameters, compared with a standard ECG-12D, also to obtain a bank of tracings, to create and validate an artificial intelligence algorithm for the automatic analysis of ECG tracings recorded with a connected watch and also to validate the feasibility and sensitivity of recording an ECG tracing with a connected watch in children. ### Conditions - Arrhythmias, Cardiac ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: PREVENTION ### Interventions - Smart watch ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Comparison of electrical parameters measured using the 2 ECG methods: P-wave amplitude - Comparison of electrical parameters measured using the 2 ECG methods: P-wave duration - Comparison of electrical parameters measured using the 2 ECG methods: QRS amplitude - Comparison of electrical parameters measured using the 2 ECG methods: QRS duration - Comparison of electrical parameters measured using the 2 ECG methods: QT/QTc **Secondary Outcomes** - Creation of bank of anormal ECG trace - Compare the diagnostic capabilities of an ECG trace recorded with a watch against the reference method, the 12-lead ECG - Validate the feasibility of recording and sending of ECG tracings with a connected watch at the patient's home - Validate the feasibility of recording an ECG trace with a connected watch for a child - Validate the sensibility of an ECG trace with a connected watch for a child ### Location - **Facility**: Hôpital Haut-Lévèque, Pessac, N/A, 33604, France @@

## Biomechanical Investigation of Symptomatic FAI and Two Groups of Asymptomatic Controls - **NCT ID**: NCT06272292 - **Study ID**: S66441 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2022-07-28 - **Completion Date**: 2024-03-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven ### Study Description Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an orthopaedic condition that is primarily characterized by the presence of anatomic bony abnormalities in the femoral head and/or the acetabulum resulting in an abnormal contact between the two during hip motion, especially in positions of increased hip flexion and rotation, ultimately leading to hip pain. Unfortunately, a FAI diagnosis is frequently only made once symptoms have become severe to an extent that they limit everyday life activities. Moreover, another important aspect that has been consistently overlooked in past FAI movement studies is the influence muscle strength and activation can have on movement pattern and symptom presentation. The diagnosis and management of FAI needs to be addressed through a more wholesome investigation of the biomechanical influence on the manifestation of symptoms.This project aims to further unravel the link between spinopelvic anatomy, its biomechanical contribution to femoro-pelvic motion and the manifestation of femoroacetabular impingement in adult male population. By, for the first time, integrating three-dimensional (3D) instrumented motion analysis with state-of-the-art full-body biplanar X-ray imaging (EOS imaging, Paris France), we will more specifically investigate the presence of an association between spinopelvic kinematics and the link to symptomatic FAI morphology, as well as investigate the presence of differences in these measures between symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects with comparable femoral morphology. ### Conditions - Femoroacetabular Impingement ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NON_RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: DIAGNOSTIC ### Interventions - EOS - 3D motion lab analysis ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - The presence of CAM morphology in combination with symptoms **Secondary Outcomes** - The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) - Radiographic spinopelvic parameters - 3D motion analysis parameters ### Location - **Facility**: University Hospitals of Leuven, Leuven, Vlaams-Brabant, 3000, Belgium @@

## The Aerobic Exercise Capacity and Muscle Strenght in Individuals With COVID-19 - **NCT ID**: NCT06272266 - **Study ID**: 2021/03-26 - **Status**: COMPLETED - **Start Date**: 2022-04-20 - **Completion Date**: 2023-02-15 - **Lead Sponsor**: Selda Sarıkaya ### Study Description The subject of the project is the impact of COVID-19 on the exercise capacity of patients. The long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection are still unknown. It is not yet clear whether pulmonary sequelae, which may be a consequence of the disease, are associated with a measurable functional deficit. In this project, the aerobic capacity of healthy people will be compared with individuals who have experienced Covid-19, and the amount of increase in aerobic capacity will be determined at the end of 15 sessions by applying a rehabilitation program including bicycle ergometry to individuals who have experienced Covid-19 Detailed description : In December 2020, in the pneumonia epidemic in which the city of Wuhan, China is the center, pneumonia developed due to the newly defined SARS-CoV-2 factor was defined as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has been observed that clinical findings of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients hospitalized in Wuhan range from mild manifestations such as asymptomatic disease and mild upper respiratory tract infection to severe viral pneumonia accompanied by respiratory failure and may result in death.The long-term sequelae of COVID19 are still unknown. Pulmonary sequelae that impair physical fitness have been predominantly defined for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Although lung lesions have been identified as asymptomatically in infected individuals, it is not yet clear whether these observations are related to a measurable functional deficit in physical fitness. They measured the change in the predicted maximum aerobic capacity (VO2 max) of non-infected,asymptomatically infected, and recovering COVID-19 individuals with a well-established and validated physical fitness test before and after the COVID-19 outbreak among young Swiss adults.They demonstrated decreased aerobic capacity in young adults 1 to 2 months after symptomatic COVID-19 without physical strength being affected. In their study, 19% of young adults who recovered after COVID-19 had a VO2 max decrease of more than 10% compared to baseline before infection. It has been identified that decreased VO2 max value is the hallmark of interstitial lung disease. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes lung damage even in asymptomatic cases.A total of 64 people, including 32 people in 2 groups between the ages of 18-55, who have or have not had corona virus infection, who applied to Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Medicine Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation or Infectious Diseases outpatient clinics for different reasons, will be included in our project. The research start date is February 2021 and the end date is February 2023. At the beginning of the study, demographic information of the individuals such as gender, age,height, weight, occupation, education, body mass index, physical activity level (international physical activity index-IPAQ), the most used hand (dominant hand) in daily life activities will be recorded. In the control group, resting heart rate, blood pressure, saturation measurement, ECG will be performed before exercise. In addition, in order to evaluate their muscle strength, microFET3 manual muscle measurement device will be used to measure the triceps muscle strength in the upper extremity they actively use, and the quadriceps muscle strength of the same side will be measured, and their grip strength will be measured with the JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer. Using the international physical activity index(IPAQ), activity status in daily life will be assessed. The exercise capacity of all individuals will be measured with the aid of the COSMED Quark CPET device using the bicycle ergometry test recommended by the American Society of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. In this test, submaximal exercise test will be performed by providing 25 W increase in 2 minutes periods after the warm-up period at 0 load (W) for 2 minutes. In addition, the borg scale obtained at the end of the test, metabolic equivalent of task (MET) and maximum work (W), test duration, maximum heart rate parameters will also be recorded in order to evaluate the exercise capacity.Individuals who have been confirmed by the previous SARS-COV 2 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to have coronovirus infection after the test will be included in a treatment program of 15 sessions, at least 3 sessions per week, with bicycle ergometry. After 15 sessions, exercise capacity will be re-evaluated using the cycling test, the aforementioned triceps and grip muscle strengths, V02 max, maximum conjugate (MET), maximum work (w), borg scale, maximum heart rate, test time parameters will be saved again after treatment. ### Conditions - COVID-19 Pneumonia - COVID-19 ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NON_RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Kardiopulmonary exercise test (Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system) - Peripheral muscle strength measurement (microFET3 (Hoggan Health Industries, Fabrication Enterprises, lnc) and JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer (Sammons Preston, Rolyon, Bolingbrook). - Standard exercise tolerance test (a bicycle ergometer and recorded through the ergoline rehabilitation system 2 Version 1.08 SPI.) - Aerobic exercise training (a bicycle ergometer and recorded through the ergoline rehabilitation system 2 Version 1.08 SPI.) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Assessment of Triceps muscle strength by using the Micro FET3 muscle strength device - Assessment of Maximum work (watts) ın the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI. - Assessment of Metabolic Equivalent (MET) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI. - Assessment of VO2peak (ml/kg/min) in the exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI. - Assessment of VO2peakpredictive (%) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI. - Assessment of Hand grip strength (kg) by using a JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer (Sammons Preston, Rolyon, Bolingbrook). - Assessment of Exchange Ratio(RER ) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test, a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system, - Assessment of Anaerobik Treshold (VAT) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system, - Assessment of Maximum Oxygen Capacity (VO2peak) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system, - Assessment of Maximum Oxygen Capacity at Ventilatory Anaerobic Threshold (VO2AT) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system, - Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Ventilatory Equivalent (VE/CO2) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system, - Assessment of Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system, - Assessment of Heart Rate Recovery at first minute (HRR1) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system, - Assessment of quadriceps muscle strength by using the Micro FET3 muscle strength device **Secondary Outcomes** - Assessment of Physical activity by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - Assessment of Test Duration (min) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI. - Assessment of Perceived Difficulty by using the Borg Scale - Assessment of Maximum heart rate (beats/min) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI. - Assessment of Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) by using a blood pressure monitor - Assessment of resting heart rate (beats/min) by using a a pulse oximeter ### Location - **Facility**: Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, N/A, 67100, Turkey @@

## Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Era of Immunotherapy - **NCT ID**: NCT06272214 - **Study ID**: ZJCCRT005 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-01 - **Completion Date**: 2029-03-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Zhejiang Cancer Hospital ### Study Description This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized phase II trial aimed at exploring the value of adjuvant radiotherapy in patients at high risk of recurrence after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer. The study primarily includes patients with esophageal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery and did not achieve complete pathological response (non-pCR) postoperatively and were defined as preoperative clinical stage at T3-4N+M0.Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two groups: the observation group and the adjuvant radiotherapy group. The control group consists of patients who receive surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for esophageal cancer, followed by maintenance therapy with PD1/PDL1 inhibitors for up to 1 year or until tumor progression. The adjuvant radiotherapy group receives additional adjuvant radiotherapy on top of the control group's treatment. The specific treatment process involves receiving 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (PD1/PDL1 inhibitors) before potentially curative esophageal cancer surgery. The chemotherapy regimen includes paclitaxel in combination with platinum agents, with a preference for albumin-bound paclitaxel (280mg/m2 on Day 1, or 100mg on Days 1, 8, and 15) in combination with carboplatin (AUC=5). Following surgery, patients start adjuvant radiotherapy 4-6 weeks after the operation, with a radiation dose of 45Gy/25F/5W, completed no later than 8 weeks post-surgery. Two weeks after completing radiotherapy, patients continue with immunotherapy maintenance therapy for up to 1 year or until tumor progression. Subsequently, follow-up visits are scheduled every 3-4 months for the first 3 years, every 6 months for the next 2 years, and annually thereafter. The primary endpoint is 2-year disease-free survival (DFS), and secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), recurrence patterns, and safety assessment. Additionally, the study will explore biomarkers predicting treatment efficacy and adverse reactions in subjects, including PD-L1 expression, ctDNA clearance status, infiltrating immune cell types and quantities, cytokine expression, and other tumor biomarkers. This exploration aims to guide stratified precision treatment for patients. ### Conditions - Adjuvant Radiotherapy ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Adjuvant radiotherapy - Observation ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - 2-year DFS **Secondary Outcomes** - OS - LRFS - DMFS - HRQoL - Adverse effects recorded during radiotherapy and PD1/PDL1 inhibitors maintaince period - Incidence of Recurrence ### Location - **Facility**: Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, N/A, China @@

## Prospective Multicenter Observational Study and Promotion of the Application of Focused Ultrasound in Allergic Rhinitis - **NCT ID**: NCT06272032 - **Study ID**: 2023KFKT001 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-08-01 - **Completion Date**: 2025-07-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Chongqing Medical University ### Study Description Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common condition, with nearly 300 million affected individuals in China, significantly impacting the quality of life. Despite standardized drug treatments, approximately 20% of AR patients experience inadequate control and require surgical intervention. AR manifests as nasal itching, sneezing, clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion, primarily associated with inflammation-induced hypertrophy of nasal turbinates and a heightened neurogenic state of the nasal mucosa. Surgical treatment focuses on "reducing hypertrophy" of nasal turbinates and "desensitizing" neurogenic hyperreactivity.High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a minimally invasive therapeutic modality in AR, is still in its early stages of application and requires further multicenter clinical studies and widespread adoption. This project collaborates with six established institutions proficient in ultrasound treatment for AR. It aims to conduct a prospective multicenter observational study and subsequent dissemination, emphasizing the application of "reduction of hypertrophy" and "desensitization" in AR.Through standardized case selection, subjective and objective measures such as subjective symptom scores, quality of life assessments, nasal reflex, and nasal resistance tests before and after treatment will be employed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of HIFU in "reducing hypertrophy" and "desensitizing" aspects of AR. Simultaneously, building on our established Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Alliance and Southwest Allergy Alliance, the research results will be promoted through lectures, hands-on guidance, training sessions, academic conferences, and other means to facilitate the application of HIFU in AR and benefit a larger population of AR patients. ### Conditions - Allergic Rhinitis ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) - intranasal corticosteroids, oral antihistamines, oral leukotriene receptor antagonists, and intranasal antihistamines ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Nasal Symptom Score - daily medication score **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, Chongqing, N/A, China @@

The definition of emotion regulation was "consists of the extrinsic and intrinsic processes responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and modifying emotional reactions, especially their intensive and temporal features, to accomplish one's goals." Emotion regulation strategies including "rumination", "avoidance", "suppression", "Problem-solving", "reappraisal", "acceptance", "social support", and "distraction".Previous studies had examined the relationship between emotion regulation and mental health in youth; maladaptive emotion regulation would increase the individual's depressive and anxiety symptoms. Carstensen proposed social emotion theory in 1995 Selectivity theory (SST) refers to the need for emotion regulation, which activates Social participation in late adulthood. SST assumes that young people are more interested in social interaction behaviors related to information seeking and building self-concept. characteristics of youth affected by many normative challenges such as adolescence, school transitions, and more complex social Landscape; Adaptive emotion regulation will reduce risk of clinical emotion attacks of illness, especially depression and anxiety.To explore the relationship between emotion regulation and mental health from a psychosocial developmental aspect, we focused on the interaction between individual and environment. Compared with the previous generation, most youths of this generation were participating in social activities and building up interpersonal relationships through the internet, suggesting the internet was an important social context. ### Conditions - Major Depressive Disorder - Anxiety Disorder - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Adjustment Disorder ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - The Difference and Similarity in Emotional Regulation Strategy Patterns between Western and Eastern Countries. **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Chang-Geng Medical Foundation Chang-Geng Memorial Hospital, Keelung, N/A, 204, Taiwan @@
## Prophylactic Double Thermal Ablation and Complete Closure After Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of Large Non-Pedunculated Colorectal Polyps: A Randomized Controlled Trial - **NCT ID**: NCT06271941 - **Study ID**: HAPC-RCT - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-01 - **Completion Date**: 2028-04-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) ### Study Description Large (≥20mm) colorectal polyps often harbor areas of advanced neoplasia, making them immediate colorectal cancer (CRC) precursors. Such polyps have to be completely removed to prevent CRC and to avoid surgery and/or adjuvant therapy. The laterally spreading lesions (LSLs) are removed via endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). However, recurrence is common. Recent studies have found that the use of hybrid argon plasma coagulation (h-APC) for the ablation of the margin and base of resection post-EMR could significantly reduce the recurrence rate, and complete closure of the post-EMR defect can prevent other adverse pre- and post-procedure outcomes such as bleeding.We hypothesize that performing hybrid argon plasma coagulation (h-APC) margin and base ablation post-EMR for large (≥20mm) colorectal LSLs will demonstrate a lower recurrence rate compared to Snare Tip Soft Coagulation (STSC) margin ablation. We also hypothesize that performing complete closure of the EMR defect will result in lower rates of adverse events compared to cases where no defect closure is performed. ### Conditions - Colorectal Cancer - Polyp of Colon ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: PREVENTION ### Interventions - Hybrid Argon Plasma Coagulation (h-APC) - Snare tip soft coagulation (STSC) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - To compare the recurrence rates after EMR colorectal between the h-APC and SSTC methods **Secondary Outcomes** - To assess the potential advantages associated with a complete defect closure ### Location - **Facility**: Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, Montréal, Quebec, N/A, Canada @@

## Flossing Band Integration in Conventional Physiotherapy for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome - **NCT ID**: NCT06271811 - **Study ID**: UJAPFPS - **Status**: COMPLETED - **Start Date**: 2023-01-09 - **Completion Date**: 2023-11-20 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of Jaén ### Study Description The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of adding flossing band therapy to conventional physiotherapy in patients diagnosed with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). The main questions it aims to answer are:* Does combining flossing band therapy with conventional physiotherapy lead to greater improvements in pain, strength, and function compared to conventional physiotherapy alone?* What are the effects of flossing band therapy on knee functionality and muscle strength in PFPS patients? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the Standard Physiotherapy group or the Flossing Band and Physiotherapy group. In addition to conventional physiotherapy, participants in the Flossing Band group will undergo sessions where a flossing band is applied around the knee joint to provide moderate compression. Researchers will compare the two groups to determine if the addition of flossing band therapy enhances treatment outcomes for PFPS. ### Conditions - Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome - Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Flossing band - Conventional physiotherapy ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Disability related to patellofemoral pain - Knee extensor muscle strength - Pain report **Secondary Outcomes** - Self-reported function - Short Form-36 (SF-36) - Berg Balance Scale (BBS) - Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - Brief Pain Questionnaire - Perceived Stress Scale ### Location - **Facility**: University of Jaen, Jaen, N/A, 23009, Spain @@

## Prognostic Value of High-resolution Electrical Source Imaging on the Success of Pediatric Focal Epilepsy Surgery - **NCT ID**: NCT06271785 - **Study ID**: 49RC22_0354 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-01 - **Completion Date**: 2026-10-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: University Hospital, Angers ### Study Description This study investigates the usefulness of high resolution electrical source imaging (HR-ESI) in the setting of presurgical evaluation of drug-resistant focal epilepsy in children.This method is based on an estimation of the intra-cerebral source that produces a signal recorded by scalp electrodes by solving the inverse problem, taking into account attenuation factors resulting from particular conductivity properties of the cerebral, peri-cerebral and cranial tissues.Electrical sources are then fused on structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Scalp EEG recorded using 64 to 256 electrodes refers to as high resolution EEG (HR-EEG), leading to HR-ESI.Studies based on small population of children or on mixt population of children and adults showed that HR-ESI has accuracy values, i.e. percentage of true positives (electrical source localized in the brain area resected and success of surgery) and true negatives (electrical source localized outside the brain area resected and failure of surgery) among the total population, ranging from 50 to 80%.Discrepancies between studies could be explained by the limited number of patients included or by the mixture of pediatric and adult data.Another limitation of previously published studies is that the spatial pattern of dipole source distribution was not taken into account to determine prediction accuracy of ESI.Studies using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to perform magnetic source imaging (MSI) suggest that the spatial pattern of dipole source distribution needs to be considered, a spatially-restricted dipole distribution being associated with better post-surgical outcome when resected.To tackle these issues, the investigators aim to conduct the first large prospective multicentric study in children with focal epilepsy candidates to surgery to assess prediction accuracy of ESI based on the finding of tight clusters of dipoles.This is original as this pattern (tight versus loose cluster of dipoles) has been studied by several researchers using MEG but not using HR-EEG.The investigators make the hypothesis that HR-EEG will allow to identity good candidates for epilepsy surgery and thus to offer this underutilized treatment in more children with better post-surgical outcome.Among the secondary objectives, the investigators will address methodological issues related to the resolution of the inverse problem (methods using distributed sources models versus methods based on equivalent dipole estimation), the potential added value to model high-frequency oscillations (HFO), and the investigators will assess the cost-utility of the HR-ESI procedure. ### Conditions - Epilepsy in Children ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - HR-EEG recording ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Prediction accuracy index **Secondary Outcomes** - Localization of the epileptogenic zone (Baseline) - Localization of the epileptogenic zone (After Surgery) - preoperative accuracy of epileptogenic source localization - prognostic value of HFO - Impact of method of sources reconstruction, conditions of EEG recordings and sampling rate - health-economic modeling ### Location - **Facility**: Angers university hospital, Pédiatric department, Angers, N/A, 49000, France @@

## Treatment of Fibromyalgia With the FibroNova Neuromodulation Device - **NCT ID**: NCT06271746 - **Study ID**: TCH101 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-04 - **Completion Date**: 2025-06-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Theranica ### Study Description Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disorder that affects the musculoskeletal system, causing widespread pain, tenderness, and fatigue. It is estimated to affect 1-5% of the population. The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is widespread pain throughout the body, accompanied by tenderness and sensitivity to pressure.Pharmacological treatments include drugs such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and painkillers. Another treatment option for fibromyalgia is the use of devices such as Quell. Other non-pharmacological treatment options for fibromyalgia include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), biofeedback, and relaxation techniques.Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) is a non-pharmacological technology that induces subthreshold, non-painful neurostimulation signals that activate an endogenic pain-management system termed Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM), to produce generalized pain relief in remote body areas. Multiple studies have shown that REN is safe and effective for the acute treatment of migraine in adults and adolescents, as well as migraine prevention.The current study examines the safety and efficacy of REN technology, implemented via the FibroNova device for treating fibromyalgia pain and related symptoms. ### Conditions - Fibromyalgia ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - FibroNova (Active mode) - FibroNova (Sham mode) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Mean reduction in pain level during the last 14 days of the treatment phase (weeks 15 through 16) compare to the last 14 days of baseline phase (weeks 3 through 4) - Device safety (rate of adverse events and device related adverse events) **Secondary Outcomes** - Mean change in the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire FIQR total score - Mean change in FIQR functionality sub-scale score - Mean change in FIQR pain item score - Mean change in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) score - Improvement in patient global impression according to PGIC score - Mean reduction in functional disability during the last 14 days of the treatment phase (weeks 15 through 16) compare to the last 14 days of baseline phase (weeks 3 through 4) ### Location - **Facility**: Clinical Research Professionals, Chesterfield, Missouri, 63005, United States @@
