Clinical Studies

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. This condition leads to recurring episodes of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. Triggers such as allergens, irritants, or exercise can exacerbate these symptoms, causing what is known as an asthma attack. While there is no cure, asthma can be effectively managed with medications and by avoiding known triggers, allowing individuals to lead active lives.

COPD

COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is a progressive lung disease that makes breathing difficult. It primarily encompasses two conditions: emphysema, which damages the air sacs in the lungs, and chronic bronchitis, which inflames the airways. The leading cause is long-term exposure to irritants, most often cigarette smoke. Symptoms include persistent coughing with mucus, shortness of breath, and wheezing. While there's no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and slow disease progression.

Atrial Fibrillation (Afib)

Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is a common heart rhythm disorder where the heart's upper chambers (atria) beat irregularly and often rapidly, disrupting normal blood flow. This can lead to symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, and an increased risk of stroke. Afib can be managed with medications, lifestyle changes, and procedures like cardioversion or catheter ablation to restore a normal heart rhythm.

Heart Failure

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, leading to a buildup of fluid in the body and insufficient blood flow to organs and tissues. Symptoms can include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs or abdomen, and a rapid or irregular heartbeat. While heart failure is a chronic condition, it can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgical treatments or heart devices.

Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-diabetic, Metabolic syndrome

Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough, leading to high blood sugar levels. Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetes, often leading to the development of diabetes if left untreated. Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels, that increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart condition characterized by the thickening of the heart muscle, particularly the walls of the left ventricle. This thickening can obstruct blood flow and lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and irregular heartbeats. HCM is a leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes and can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, surgical interventions.

Plaque Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the skin, causing cells to build up rapidly on the skin's surface. This rapid cell turnover results in the formation of thick, red patches with silvery scales, which can be itchy, painful, and prone to cracking and bleeding. While most commonly affecting the scalp, elbows, and knees, psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body, including the nails and joints (psoriatic arthritis). The severity of psoriasis varies widely, ranging from small, localized patches to widespread involvement. Triggers such as stress, infections, and certain medications can exacerbate symptoms

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes is a long-term condition that affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar (glucose). It develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or fails to produce enough, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. If not managed properly, it can lead to serious health complications. Common risk factors include obesity, poor diet, physical inactivity, and genetics. Symptoms often include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and slow-healing wounds. Treatment typically involves lifestyle modifications, medication, and, in some cases, insulin therapy.

We are seeking volunteers for a clinical study to assess the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment for Type 2 diabetes. This study aims to improve blood sugar control, relieve symptoms, and enhance overall quality of life.
