Treatment of Refractory Infantile Spasms With Fenfluramine
This is a phase II clinical trial in which children with refractory infantile spasms (also called epileptic spasms or West syndrome) will be treated with fenfluramine, to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Patients with infantile spasms that have not responded to treatment with vigabatrin and ACTH we will be invited …
North West London Pebble Pathway: Automated OSA Diagnosis
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 …
Early Interferon-beta Treatment for West-Nile Virus Infection
West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus which in majority of cases causes only self-limited disease. Despite that, in minority of cases (~0.5%) it can infect the brain and cause severe and even life-threatening disease (neuroinvasive disease). Recent study has shown that up to 40% of WNV patients who …
Preliminary Efficacy of an mHealth Intervention in West Africa
We are conducting a pilot feasibility and preliminary efficacy trial of a digital intervention for serious mental illness in West Africa. Participants will be recruited from a large psychiatric hospital in Ghana and randomized into one of three study conditions: 1) Treatment as usual; 2) FOCUS intervention; 3) G-FOCUS intervention.
Investigating Visuo-spatial Abilities and Psychological Effects in West Nile and Multiple Sclerosis Patients with a Focus on a Possible Rehabilitation Protocol
The study aims to investigate visuospatial abilities and psychological outcomes in patients with multiple scleroris (MS) and patients with West Nile virus infection (vWN). Patients will undergo a specific neuropsychological and psychological evaluation. Afterwards, patients will receive 10 sessions of cognitive training integrating digital exercises and prismatic lenses. At the …
