NCT ID: NCT06404749 Recruiting - Stress Clinical Trials

Fungal Fiber for Gut Health

FUN4GUT
Start date: May 3, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study compares effects of plant based fiber vs fungi based fiber on clinical outcomes related to gut function (immunity, emotions, stress) and explores the role of gut microbiome structure and function on individual responses.

NCT ID: NCT05592249 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

The Effect of Dual Tasks on ADL in Stroke

Start date: December 26, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of different dual-task practices on activities of daily living in stroke patients. The sample size was calculated as 18 people for each group and 36 people in total, with a 20% drop out. MC (Motor - Cognitive) group will receive 60 minutes motor - cognitive dual task intervention 5 day per week for 6 weeks in clinic. MM (Motor - Motor) group will receive 60 minutes motor - motor dual task intervention 5 day per week for 6 weeks in clinic. As the primary outcomes in the study; Modified Barthel Index will be used to evaluate basic activities of daily living, Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Index designed specifically for stroke to evaluate instrumental activities of daily living, and Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 to evaluate participation in activities of daily living. As secondary outcomes; 10 Meter Walk Test will be used for functional mobility assessment, Timed Up and Go Test and Berg Balance Scale will be used for balance assessment, Motor Activity Log-28 will be used to assess upper extremity functions, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test will be used for cognitive status assessment.

NCT ID: NCT04550793 Not yet recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Using Shear Wave Ultrasound Elastography for Follow up After Anti-spastic Intervention Among Stroke Patients

Start date: September 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Spasticity of stroke patient, a very common complication in clinical practice, affects performance of hand function and gait pattern. It also interferes with quality of life of patients severely. Currently first line clinical approach to spasticity consist of physical therapy and pharmacological management. However, there are still some refractory cases that needed local intervention such as Botox injection. So far, we only can use subjective methods to measure muscle tension, such as modified Ashworth scale and Tone Assessment Scale. In our previous study, we found that ultrasound shear wave image could correlate with muscle stiffness caused by poststroke spasticity. With this new method, we aim to establish a more objective method in measuring abnormal poststroke muscle tension before and after treatments and further monitor therapeutic effect. We also include several assessment scales to evaluate the correlation between measured muscle spasm and activity of daily living. We hypothesize that the rheological changes in muscles muscle spasm after Botox injection can be detected by ultrasound shear wave image. Therapeutic effect can also be seen in its effect on daily functions. In this project, we will use shear wave imaging of ultrasound to investigate the elasticity (and hardness) of the biceps brachii and brachialis muscle in stroke patients with unilateral hemiplegia before and after Botox injection. The findings of this project will provide the objective evaluation of muscle spasticity and its correlation with functional status, which will provide new points of view toward treatment of spasticity.

NCT ID: NCT03769220 Completed - Clinical trials for Cognitive Impairment

Evaluation of the Measurement Properties of a 5 Time Repeated Instrumented Timed Up and Go (5iTUG)

5iTUG
Start date: December 10, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In order to tailor interventions, objective assessments of physical function is needed. A limitation of several of today's clinical assessments is that they require too much time and/or space. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) is a commonly used clinical test of physical function in older populations. The TUG is particularly useful due to its short administration time and the little space that is required. The TUG is however of limited value when used in higher-functioning older adults due to ceiling effects. Instrumented versions of TUG (iTUG) computes several outcome measures in addition to the traditional outcome measure which is the total duration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the construct- and discriminative validity of outcomes derived from sensor signals recorded with a smartphone during a five times repeated iTUG (5iTUG).

NCT ID: NCT03736577 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

Psychotropic Drug Use in the Elderly Living in Nursing Homes and the Influence of a Structured Drug Review

Start date: November 12, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall aim of this study is to explore if a structured drug review will change clinical symptoms and the psychotropic drugs prescription rate in the elderly living in nursing homes (participants of the study). The study will examine how training of nursing home physicians on reviewing prescription lists using the Norwegian general practice criteria - Nursing homes (NorGeP-NH) will influence the participants' clinical symptoms such as cognition, depression, anxiety and their quality of life. Secondary, we will analyse how a structured drug review will influence further psychotropic drug prescribing rates in nursing homes. The hypothesis for this study are: 1. Training of nursing home physicians on doing a systematic drug review will decrease the participants' clinical symptoms and improve their Quality of Life. 2. A systematic drug review will decrease the psychotropic drug prescription rates compared to before the drug review.
