109 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To evaluate, in a pilot fashion, efficacy and tolerability of electrical counter-stimulation using the Scrambler device in alleviating uncomfortable sensations and urge to move in patients with restless legs syndrome/Willis Ekbom Disease (RLS/WED).
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether Butrans Transdermal System (BTDS) reduces RLS symptom severity in patients with moderate to severe idiopathic RLS who are naïve to opiate treatment. The secondary objective of the study is to investigate the effects of BTDS on mood, sleep, and quality of life. The study will consist of nine visits. Depending on the need for medication titration, there may also be two scheduled telephone contacts. Visit 1: This is a screening visit to determine study eligibility. Eligible subjects who choose to participate must undergo medication washout as described in the detailed protocol between visits 1 and 2. Treatment period #1 (Visits 2 - 5; day 0 - 28): Baseline measures will be recorded and subjects randomized to treatment order at visit 2 (day 0). Study medication as well as rescue medication (l-dopa, a non-blinded active treatment to be used within a limited dose range as described in the detailed protocol) will be dispensed. Subjects will begin treatment period #1 immediately after this. The study medication will be titrated within the allowed range according to subject's reported symptoms during visit 3 (day 7), visit 4 (day 14), telephone contact (day 21). Visit 5 will occur on day 28 and will include assessment of outcome measures for the first treatment period. Visit 5 will also mark the beginning of the second treatment period. Treatment period #2 (Visits 6 - 8; day 28 - 56): Procedures will be similar to those described above during treatment period #1. Visit 8 will mark the end of the second treatment period during which outcome measures will be ascertained. Follow up visit (Visit 9; day 70): This will be a safety follow-up visit approximately two weeks after visit 8 for review of adverse events.

AECOPD is a major cause of hospital admission and mortality. They contribute to long-term decline in lung function, physical capacity, and quality of life (QoL). RLS-0071 is a novel peptide being developed for the treatment of AECOPD. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RLS-0071 in the treatment of adults with moderate exacerbations of COPD.
The investigators propose to test the use of pramipexole in patients being treated for Opioid Use Disorder to test its ability to reduce symptoms of both Restless Legs Syndrome and protracted opioid withdrawal and thereby promote initiation, engagement, and retention in treatment.
The investigators aim to determine the effect of suvorexant on actigraphically-derived total sleep time in patients with effectively treated restless legs syndrome with persistent insomnia in a two-arm, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled crossover 2.5-month trial.
The purpose of this research study is to see if the level of serum ferritin differs based on how often oral iron (in the form of ferrous sulfate) is given to children with restless leg syndrome/periodic limb movement disorder.
Nighttime agitation in persons with Alzheimer's disease causes patient suffering, distresses caregivers, and often results in prescriptions for harmful antipsychotics. Effective treatments are lacking because of limited knowledge of the etiology of nighttime agitation. The investigators propose a clinical trial to better elucidate whether a sleep disorder, restless legs syndrome, may be a mechanism for nighttime agitation, and if treatment with gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant®) reduces nighttime agitation, improves sleep, reduces restless legs syndrome behaviors, and reduces antipsychotic medications.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a debilitating sleep disorder that has significant impact on quality of life, and often times can be difficult to diagnose and treat effectively. RLS is typically treated with medical therapy (including dopaminergic agents, dopamine agonists, benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, opiates, among other therapies). Many patients are either refractory to medical therapy, have contraindications or adverse reactions to the available medical therapies, or desire conservative non-medication based therapies. Two previous studies have demonstrated that pneumatic compression devices placed on the legs can improve symptoms of RLS. We would like to assess whether the Venous Health Systems Vasculaire leg compression device improves symptoms and quality of life measures related to RLS in up to 40 patients evaluated prospectively for one month. This is a pilot study to assess the subjective response of our cohort of patients to this device prospectively. Our hypothesis is that over 66% of our cohort will demonstrate a positive symptomatic response based on RLS specific quality of life questionnaires.
This is a sleep laboratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rotigotine in subjects with Restless Legs Syndrome and End-Stage Renal Disease requiring hemodialysis. The objectives are to demonstrate superiority of Rotigotine against Placebo as well as to investigate the effect of Rotigotine on quality of life and sleep.
A 14-Week clinical research study to compare the effectiveness and safety of ropinirole and placebo (an inactive sugar pill) in the treatment of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in the United States.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 40 mg per day of istradefylline (KW6002) in patients with Restless Legs Syndrome.
This study assesses the tolerability, safety, and impact of an investigational medical device on restless legs syndrome symptoms. The IRB has established that the investigational device is non-significant risk.
The study aims to observe changes in dopaminergic genes expression in peripheral tissue upon prolonged dopamine agonist treatment on patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Similar studies in Parkinson's disease have shown changes in alpha-synuclein expression, which might offer insights into the dopaminergic gene regulation seen in RLS. The dopamine agonist drugs to be included in this study are: Pramipexole (Mirapex), Ropinirole (Requip), Rotigotine (Neupro), Apomorphine (Apokyn), Bromocriptine (Parlodel). Specifically, the study will collect nasal swabs of participants partitioned into two groups, those who have not used a dopamine agonist or been on a dopamine agonist for less than 1 month compared to those who have been on the medication for 6 or more months. This research could provide insight into changes in dopaminergic gene expression associated with Augmentation Syndrome (AS) which occurs after long term dopamine agonist treatment in RLS patients.
The goal of this open label clinical trial is to reduce the effects of restless leg syndrome. The main it questions it aims to answer are: 1. Reduce or eliminate the symptoms of restless leg syndrome. 2. Improve the quality of life of participants with restless leg syndrome. Participants will be asked to apply the topical cream to the affected area 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime for 14 consecutive days.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how exercise changes molecules in the blood in people with restless legs syndrome (RLS) to better understand the cause(s) of RLS. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: How does long-term exercise change proteins in the blood? How does a single exercise session change proteins in the blood? The investigators will compare long-term exercise to no exercise to see if the changes in proteins are specific to exercise. Participants will complete an exercise test and provide blood samples before and after the exercise test. Participants will be randomized (like the flip of a coin) in to either the exercise or no-exercise group for 12 weeks and then complete the exercise test and blood samples again at the end.
Multi-center post-market, observational study to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of the NTX100 TOMAC System for patients with Restless Legs Syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of dry needling with electrical stimulation (DNES) on sleep quality, symptom severity, and function in individuals with restless legs syndrome.
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) affects approximately 4,000 to 12,000 persons annually in the United States. Mortality from HIE has been reported up to 60%, with at least 25% of survivors left with significant neurocognitive disability. Despite this vital unmet medical need, no pharmacological adjunct or alternative therapy has proven beneficial in improving outcomes in neonatal HIE. RLS-0071 is a novel peptide being developed for the treatment of neonatal HIE. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RLS-0071 in the treatment of newborns with moderate or severe HIE.
This is an open-label trial in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) patients inadequately treated with standard therapy, defined by an IRLS score greater than 15. Investigators hypothesize that the study drug, Pitolisant (Wakix), may improve RLS symptoms.
This is an open label, short placebo-controlled trial in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) patients inadequately treated with standard therapy. Investigators hypothesize that the study drug, sublingual apomorphine (Kynmobi), may improve RLS breakthrough symptoms. This study is designed to determine if sublingual apomorphine improves breakthrough symptoms in RLS patients, in addition to subjective responses.
