There is many subjective balance tests to evaluate static and dynamic balance. But, there is no sufficient information about which balance test is the most sensitive test to evaluate balance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare of sensitivity of the subjective balance tests with an objective system.
Asthma is a complex and chronic inflammatory disorder which is associated with reversible airway obstruction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. It is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in children and prevalence further increases worldwide. Typical symptoms of asthma are breathlessness, cough, wheezing and chest tightness. These symptoms are particularly prevalent at night-time. Understanding and tracking these symptoms can lead to better management of asthma. Auscultation using a stethoscope is standard clinical practice, however there is currently no available solution to detect respiratory sounds throughout the day and night. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of detecting respiratory sounds in healthy children with the CoVa patch.
Background: Participants in the colon and rectal cancer (CRC) screening program that have a positive result in the Fecal Immunological Test (FIT) are visited by the screening nurse who explains the meaning of the positive test and the need to perform a colonoscopy. Having a positive result in the screening test can have a negative psychological impact on patients causing anguish. Objective: To evaluate whether the use of iconographies to communicate the risks of possible diagnoses to patients with positive FIT improves the understanding of the information and reduces the degree of anguish. Methods: Quasi-experimental pre-post intervention study with a control group. 240 individuals (men and women between 50-69 years of age, with a positive FIT result attending the nursing visit) will be included in two non-concurrent study groups (120 individuals per group). The control group will receive the nurse visit as usual. For the intervention group, the nurse will use iconographies to communicate the risk of the different possible diagnoses and the risk of complications of the colonoscopy. The degree of distress (Distress Thermometer and a scale of emotion-faces) will be measured before and after the visit and the understanding of the information (visual analog scale) after the visit. The degree of distress between the control group and intervention group will be compared. If the results are favorable, the systematic use of iconographies can be implemented in the nursing screening visit and be extended to other Screening Units.
DiaTT is an interventional, cluster-randomized (1:1), multicenter trial for patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (n=1,100). This trial will test the effectiveness (by change of sit-to-stand test between baseline and 12 months) of intradialytic exercise training (ET) and health literacy counseling (HLC) for 12 months (Intervention group) in comparison to control group (usual care, UC; no ET, no HLC).
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether a 12-week neuromuscular rehabilitation program (NEMEX-TJR) combined with pain neuroscience education (PNE) provides greater pain relief, improvement in physical function and quality of life than PNE alone in a population of patients with chronic pain after primary total knee arthroplasty. Hypothesis: Rehabilitation involving neuromuscular training and PNE will provide greater pain relief, improved function and improved quality of life compared to PNE alone at the primary endpoint, which is follow-up 12months after the start of the treatment.
This is a Phase 2a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Norketotifen (NKT) in subjects with allergic rhinitis.
To compare the images from standard cardiac ultrasound with images from a small hand-held device; to find out more about the feasibility and accuracy of a small hand-held ultrasound device.
It is not previously investigated whether, there is a correlation between potassium channels and migraine, so it is unclear whether, this signaling pathway through potassium channels has an impact on migraine pathophysiology. Maxipost (BMS 204352) is a vasoactive molecule that causes vasodilation via the big calcium dependent potassium (BKCa) channel signaling pathway. Maxipost decreases the blood pressure and maxipost infusion causes headache in healthy volunteers. A possible coherence between maxipost and headache/migraine in healthy volunteers and migraine patients is yet to be investigated. The present study aims to clarify a possible coherence between maxipost and headache/migraine and it will help to shed light on the importance of potassium channels in migraine. In general, the study will contribute to a greater understanding of migraine pathogenesis and possibly lead to development of specific migraine treatment.
This is an observational, multicenter, single-day, Phase 2 study. This study will include a 14-day Screening Period and Study Day 1 clinic visit. Participants will be required to perform an activity to induce symptoms of PAH, and participants' severity of self-reported symptoms of PAH will be measured from pre-activity, immediately after the activity, and through the 30-minute recovery. Participants will be asked about their PAH symptoms using 3 PGI-S questions that address their overall PAH symptoms, shortness of breath, and physical fatigue.
A better understanding of the target audiences about HPV infection and HPV vaccination would surely allow for a better spread of this vaccination in Switzerland. In order to know if the target audiences are properly informed, we have decided to carry out a study evaluating their level of knowledge on a particular audience that are the men and women undergraduate nurse.
