A Pilot Trial of taVNS for SRNS in Children (kidNEY-VNS)
NCT05583942
Recruiting
Children with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) are exposed to prolonged courses of immunosuppressant medications. Given the adverse side effect profiles and variable efficacy of these medications, there is an urgent need to identify novel and safe therapies to treat nephrotic syndrome in children. Stimulation of the vagus nerve, which can be activated noninvasively by transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), has immunomodulatory effects mediated by the inflammatory re...

Multidimensional Phenotype Classification in Grade 3 Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
NCT06475976
Recruiting
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), or chronic lung disease of prematurity, is the most consequential complication of preterm birth and is strong predictor of childhood pulmonary and neurodevelopmental disability, particularly in infants diagnosed with grade 3 BPD (ventilator dependence at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age), the most severe disease form. This study aims to (1) generate the first empirically defined phenotype classification system for grade 3 BPD developed using a rich array of objective... Read More

HCRN Endoscopic Versus Shunt Treatment of Hydrocephalus in Infants
NCT04177914
Recruiting
Hydrocephalus is a potentially debilitating neurological condition that primarily affects babies under a year of age and has traditionally been treated by inserting a shunt between the brain and the abdomen. A newer endoscopic procedure offers hope of shunt- free treatment that may reduce complications over a child's life, but it is not clear if the endoscopic procedure results in similar intellectual outcome as shunt. Therefore, the investigators propose a randomized trial to compare intellectu... Read More
