NCT06505564
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AVATAR therapy, developed to address residual auditory hallucinations persisting despite medication in schizophrenia spectrum disorder. The intervention aims to reduce the intensity and frequency of these symptoms, as well as alleviate associated depressive and anxiety symptoms, using a virtual reality (VR)-assisted intervention developed for this purpose by the Danish company HEKA VR. The study will be a pre-post non-invasive, waiting list-controlled study, enrolling 30 patients from three clinical sites (Hungary, Spain, Poland). The study centers around administering therapy based on VR over a 12-week period, comprising a total of 7 sessions. These sessions are conducted individually and last 50 minutes each. The psychotherapist leading the sessions adheres to a strict protocol defined by the method's developers. During the intervention, VR technology is used to simulate the source of distressing auditory hallucinations. The therapist facilitates coping with these experiences externalized in this way through simulated conversations, supporting the development of more adaptive responses. Patients undergo a comprehensive cross-sectional evaluation of their condition before and after the intervention, including assessments of symptom severity, quality of life, and their experience with the method. The intervention is conducted with constant monitoring for possible adverse effects.

NCT06507228
Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) wait up to two years for a diagnostic test. Early diagnosis enables optimal treatment, mitigating risks including heart failure, lung disease, and stroke. Current diagnostic approaches are expensive (£391), time-consuming (\>1-hour interpretation), uncomfortable (cables/tubes/wires), and inequitable (multiple hospital visits). Overcoming all these limitations, we have designed and will investigate a straigh-to-test automated diagnostic pathway for OSA. This will use the AcuPebble, a miniature wearable acoustic sensor and the first regulated technology for automated, at-home diagnosis. The test is cheap (\< £100); time-saving; endorsed by patients, and accessible (posted directly to patients). This project will measure the impact of a potentially transformative, innovative, and scalable diagnostic pathway using AcuPebble technology.
NCT06507670
This will be a prospective, observational, case-control study of adult patients presenting to the WellSpan York Hospital Emergency Department (YHED) with signs and symptoms of esophageal food or foreign body impaction. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) will then be performed by a trained emergency physician to collect ultrasound data, including the presence or absence of direct visualization food bolus/foreign body, as well as secondary markers of dilatation, such as maximal esophageal area. Investigators will also enroll an age/sex-matched control group of asymptomatic individuals to establish baseline esophageal measurements. Patients will otherwise receive medical treatment per standard of care. Subsequent interventions will also be documented, including glucagon, carbonated beverages, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). If patients remain in the ED and improve without need for EGD they will undergo repeat ultrasound. Chart review at 1 month will be performed to establish results of EGD including improvement, recurrence, or presence of pathologic abnormalities. The investigators aim to establish normal and abnormal parameters to aid in the diagnosis of esophageal food impactions to predict need for definitive EGD management.

NCT06499103
Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most common and debilitating survivorship conditions for patients with cancer, and one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy treatment. Unfortunately, there are no proven ways to prevent or treat CIPN. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a method that succeeded to treat different types of pain and needs more investigation on its effect on CIPN. Aim : The aims of this study are to investigate the effect of TENS in reducing CIPN symptoms in patients with cancer and to investigate the relathionship between some of the patients' sociodemographic charestristics/ medical history and the levels of CIPN after treatment with TENS. Method : A double blind parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be used in this study to assess the effect of TENS on CIPN among patients with cancer treated with chemotherapy. Participants will be recruited from King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC). 44 patients will be included in the study if they developed CIPN after the first cycle of chemotherapy treatment, were ≥18 years old, and were not previously received any session of TENS device and only on gabapentin drug currently. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, 22 patient for each group. The intervention group will receive the TENS sessions daily for 10 days and for 30 minutes each session. The control group will stay on gabapentin. CIPN will be assessed using the Arabic Version of the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool. CIPN will be assessed three time during the study: first time will be pre-intervention, second time will be after 5 days of treatment and the third time will be at the end of the sessions. Implication : The result will lead nursing to achieve optimal nursing care for all patients by controlling the pain level and improve other peripheral neuropathy symptoms .
NCT06349330
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the immediate effectiveness of 3D intra-oral scanners and standard oral hygiene instructions in improving the oral hygiene of 52 subjects. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does a 3D intra-oral scanner facilitate the improvement of oral hygiene in subjects? * Does a 3D-rendered image of plaque-stained teeth confer better visualization to subjects? Prospective Open Cohort study: Patients referred to NUCOHS Periodontology Department will be invited to participate in the study. Included participants will be randomized into the 3D scanner (test) and standard oral hygiene (control) group. Subsequently, both groups will receive personalized oral hygiene instructions before brushing their teeth. The participants will receive plaque disclosing again to compare the differences between baseline and post-intervention. Routine periodontal parameters will be recorded at baseline and researchers will compare the percentage improvement in full mouth plaque scores to see if the test group performed better than the control group. A questionnaire will be given to subjects in the test and control group for qualitative analysis. The study will require 1 visit.
NCT06502899
MINOCA is accompanied by a worse prognosis, which is related to the inability to clarify the etiology.CMR has been explicitly recommended by guidelines as an etiologic diagnostic tool for MINOCA. Although CMR-related parameters, such as strain and ECV, have been shown to be associated with prognosis in patients with myocardial infarction. However, the relationship between CMR-strain or ECV and MINOCA is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the characterization of CMR-strain or ECV in patients with MINOCA and the relationship with prognosis.
NCT06503640

NCT06501313
The objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy in patients with advanced-stage heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), who have been referred but ineligible for a heart transplantation. The primary endpoint is a 15% relative reduction in left ventricular end-systolic volume (LV ESV) as determined by echocardiography over a 12-month follow-up period. The secondary objective is to determine the change in NT-proBNP, a biomarker for heart failure, the change in heart failure symptoms based on the NYHA functional classification, the change in quality of life questionnaire (KCCQ), additional echocardiographic parameters, and the detection of changes in heart failure and fibrosis biomarkers. Additionally, the study aims to examine hospitalization due to heart failure and overall mortality.
NCT06258967
Geriatric patients undergoing general anesthesia face a significant challenge, with the induction phase contributing to 50% of hypotensive events. Titrated anesthesia, involving gradual drug administration, suits elderly induction. However, propofol in titrated anesthesia tends to induce hypotension. In contrast, Ciprofol (HSK3486), a novel anesthetic, reduces hypotension during induction. This study compares hypotension incidences during induction and post-induction phases, agitation rates during recovery, perioperative awareness, postoperative delirium, and parameters in elderly patients induced with Ciprofol versus propofol through titrated anesthesia. The goal is to clarify a medically optimized anesthesia protocol for elderly patients during titrated anesthesia induction in general anesthesia.
NCT05039528
The objective of this protocol is to conduct a focus group to identify OSA beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge among employees in the transportation industry on shift schedules.
NCT05866484
Normal embryonic development relies on the correct transmission of genetic information, and sperm DNA plays a crucial part in this process. Causes of poor sperm DNA integrity include unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking and exposure to gonadotoxins, as well as, obesity, varicoceles, infections, advanced paternal age and systemic disorders. An increase in DNA fragmentation in sperm has been linked to lower fertilisation rate, poorer quality embryos, lower pregnancy rate, and high miscarriages rate. The best way for sperm selection and processing in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) should be noninvasive and cost-effective. It should also make it possible to identify high-quality spermatozoa and produce more favorable results in terms of pregnancy and live birth rates.7 Meanwhile, the microfluidic sperm separation technology is a less expensive and less invasive alternative. This method allows for the selection of motile sperm that have a normal morphology, low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and low DFI
