A Research Study Exploring How Musculoskeletal Function and the Autonomic Nervous System Relate to Visceral Pain in Women With and Without Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods).
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if women with dysmenorrhea demonstrate an increased musculoskeletal and autonomic nervous system response to a painful visceral stimulus compared to controls. A secondary aim is to determine if interoceptive awareness moderates this relationship. The designed methodology aims to elucidate the intricate …
Early Neurovascular Adaptations in Aging Women
Our goal is to enhance our understanding of early vascular adaptations in aging women with an emphasis on the sympathetic nervous system.
Basic and Clinical Study of Cardiac Ganglion Catheter Ablation for the Treatment of Significant Bradycardia
This study adopts a strategy combining basic research with clinical investigation to systematically explore the therapeutic value of cardioneuroablation in the treatment of vagally-mediated bradycardia. The study design fully considers the complexity of the scientific question and the feasibility of clinical translation. Through rigorous experimental design and standardized operational procedures, …
Clinical Characteristics of Sleep Disorders in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis(UC) is one of the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD), which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Previous studies have demonstrated that more than 60% of IBD patients have sleep disorders, which is emerging as an important risk factor for disease recurrence and poor prognosis. …
Longitudinal Evolution of Biomarkers of Dysautonomia and Inflammation During Sepsis in Children
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) regulates the inflammatory response in real time, just as it controls heart rate and other vital functions. Many studies have investigated induced stimulation of the vagus nerve and its therapeutic effect in inhibiting TNFα (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) secretion, and therefore the risk of hypotension, …
Blood Pressure Effects on Cognition and Brain Blood Flow in PD
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Besides causing symptoms that impair movement, PD also causes non-motor symptoms, such as problems thinking and orthostatic hypotension (OH), i.e., low blood pressure (BP) when standing. About one-third of people with PD have OH, which can cause sudden, temporary …
Autonomic Reactivity and Personalized Neurostimulation
Disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) affect up to 25% of U.S. children. Patients often suffer from disabling, multisystem comorbidities that suggest a common root (sleep disturbances, fatigue, anxiety, etc). Yet, DGBI are defined and treated based on GI symptom origin (cyclic vomiting, dyspepsia, irritable bowel) rather than underlying pathophysiology. Many …
Data Collection of Standard Care of Patients in the EMG Section
Background Most people who are referred to the EMG (Electromyography) Section of the NIH are enrolled into specific active studies. This allows researchers to learn about a range of rare neuromuscular disorders. But study criteria may not give researchers the chance to evaluate a single person or study a common …
Auricular Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, joint hypermobility and additional connective tissue manifestations. For unclear reasons, hEDS is associated with many gastrointestinal (GI) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) complaints such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). This study will address the clinical relationship …
Sympathetic Nerve Activity Predictors in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The project will be pursued in our respiratory, autonomic nervous system physiology laboratory (Respiratory, autonomic nervous system physiology laboratory, Department of Pneumology and Intensive Care Medicine, RWTH Aachen University Hospital; Head of Department: Professor Michael Dreher). Overactivity of the sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) axis with "centrally" increased heart rate and …
