Prospective cohort study evaluating the electrophysiologic and biochemical effects of stellate ganglion block in patients with ventricular tachycardia.
Supine hypertension is a common problem that affects at least 50% of patients with primary autonomic failure. Supine hypertension can be severe and complicates the treatment of orthostatic hypotension. The purpose of this study is to assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) decreases blood pressure in autonomic failure patients …
The VIBRANT study aims to validate biosensors to objectively and directly measure symptoms in Rett syndrome and create confidence in the use of these devices in clinical trials. VIBRANT will use several FDA-cleared wearable biosensors and a non-wearable device to collect symptom data from patients with Rett syndrome for up …
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to conventional neurological rehabilitation on heart rate variability (HRV), quality of life, upper extremity muscle strength and autonomic symptoms in patients with stroke.
Alpha-synucleinopathies refer to age-related neurodegenerative and dementing disorders, characterized by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein in neurons and/or glia. The anatomical location of alpha-synuclein inclusions (Lewy Bodies) and the pattern of progressive neuronal death (e.g. caudal to rostral brainstem) give rise to distinct neurological phenotypes, including Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple System …
Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. It is the most expensive healthcare condition to treat in United States and has a mortality rate of nearly 30%. It is widely known that exaggerated inflammation and imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic arms of the autonomic …
Observational two phase, retrospective and prospective registry study to assess the prevalence of and characterize outcomes of autonomic dysfunction (AD) in patients who undergo bariatric surgery (BS) and to better define the underlying pathophysiology of AD following BS.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of the different types of pain and of the domains involved in the autonomic disorders of inpatients and outpatients diagnosed with Parkinson disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) admitted to Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri Centers. The main …
The goal of this interventional non-pharmacological study is to evaluate, using a multimodal approach, the progression of autonomic and sensory involvement in in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients enrolled within 18 months from motor onset and its relationship with the progression of overall clinical disability. The main questions it aims …
The goal of this interventional crossover study is to determine the effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) on the ability to perform moderate exercise and regulate core body temperature in the chronic spinal cord injury community. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the effects of …
