Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Phase 4 Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Vespireit, Prolonged-release Tablets (Valenta Pharm JSC, Russia) Versus Arlevert, Tablets (Menarini International Operations Luxembourg S.A., Luxembourg) in Patients With Autonomic Dysfunction Syndrome Accompanied by Functional Vertigo.
Summary: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Vespireit, prolonged-release tablets, 15 mg (Valenta Pharm JSC, Russia) in comparison with Arlevert, tablets, 40 mg + 20 mg (Menarini International Operations Luxembourg S.A., Luxembourg) in patients with autonomic dysfunction syndrome accompanied by functional vertigo.
Brain Research in Aggression and Irritability Network (BRAIN): Building Evidence-Based Approaches to Managing Traumatic Brain Injury
Summary: The purpose of this study is to improve behavior control displayed by persons with traumatic brain injury by assessing effectiveness of treatments for post-TBI irritability and aggression.
Central Sleep Apnea: Physiologic Mechanisms to Inform Treatment
Summary: Central sleep apnea (CSA) is common in patients with heart failure and those using opioid analgesics. Unfortunately, effective treatment of central apnea remains elusive, pressure therapy given the modest efficiency of positive airway pressure therapy. The focus of this proposal is to identify mechanistic pathways to guide future therapeutic interventions for central sleep apnea based on the stron...
Evaluating a Mechanistically-Supported Pharmacotherapy to Treat Opioid Withdrawal
Summary: The investigators propose a rigorous, Phase II, three-group, placebo-controlled double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy of buspirone for both withdrawal and craving among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) undergoing a standardized stepwise taper. During this 10 to 12-day residential study, participants with OUD will be enrolled, stabilized on a short-acting...
Measurement of the Hippocampal Theta Rhythm From the Outer Ear Canal
Summary: New technologies are needed to help diagnose anxiety disorders. EVestG has facilitated the identification of numerous possible biomarkers of several psychiatric disorders. Some EVestG features seem to be caused by differences in low-frequency modulation that is consistent (both in frequency and behaviour) with the hippocampal rhythm (theta), which is known to play a role in anxiety. Critically, th...
The Effect of Oral Buspirone Hydrochloride on Esophageal Motility, Bolus Transit and Symptoms of Dysphagia, in Patients With Poor Esophageal Motility: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Cross-over Trial With HRiM
Summary: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical trial of buspirone in patients with complaints of dysphagia due to poor esophageal motility. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effect of buspirone on esophageal motility by performing high resolution impedance manometry (HRiM).
Buspirone and Melatonin for Depression Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Summary: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are common. Post-TBI depression is associated with anxiety, aggression, fatigue, distractibility, anger, irritability, and rumination. The current research group conducted a pilot clinical trial, which investigated the novel treatment combination of buspirone and melatonin (B+MEL) in outpatients with clinical depression. Compared to placebo, B+MEL was associated wit...
Safety and Efficacy of Buagafuran Capsules in the Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder: a Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Placebo-controlled, Positive-controlled, Flexible-dose Phase Ⅲ Clinical Trial
Summary: A placebo-controlled superiority design was used to evaluate the efficacy of 60-120 mg/ day of Buagafuran capsules in the treatment of GAD.
Hybrid Functional Electrical Stimulation Exercise to Prevent Cardiopulmonary Declines in High-level Spinal Cord Injury
Summary: Over the past ten years, the Cardiovascular Research Laboratory at Spaulding has refined a unique form of exercise for those with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Functional Electrical Stimulation Row Training (FESRT) couples volitional arm and electrically controlled leg exercise, resulting in the benefits of large muscle mass exercise. However, despite the potential for enhancing aerobic capacity by ...
