Filter by:Comparing baseline assessments of children with cancer and their parents with baseline assessments of healthy children and their parents in a case-control study will allow the investigators to make the comparison in terms of pressure hyperalgesia, pain catastrophizing, energy-balance related behavior, attention control and attention bias between healthy children and cancer patients. This also enables the investigators to compare parents of healthy children with parents of cancer patients in the field of catastrophizing about the pain of their child and responses to child's pain experiences. Correlations can also be calculated between, for example, pain pressure thresholds and energy-balance related behavior.
The purpose of this study is to create a rehabilitation program for children who survived posterior fossa tumors using the latest technology. Supposed that training in Fitlight, Dynavision D2, NeuroTracker will improve executive functions, visual-motor integration, fine and gross motor functions.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a peer support coaching intervention to improve activated chronic illness self-management versus an attention control group in 225 adolescents and young adults with childhood onset chronic conditions.
Reduced activity levels and reduced muscular strength could severely impair the activities of daily living (ADLs) in pediatric leukemia and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Increased muscle strength is associated with improved accomplishment of ADLs and consequently greatest possible normality, autonomy and mobility. Primary outcome of this RCT (n=20/20) is the analysis of effects of a treatment-associated and close to every day life strength training (2-3 times/week) compared to a general exercise program (standard care).
The purpose of this research study is to try and identify markers in childhood cancer survivors to help predict if they will develop late effects from their cancer treatment.
This study aims to examine the efficacy of using Information Communication Technology (ICT) to deliver brief Motivational Interviewing (BMI) to promote regular physical activity among Hong Kong Chinese childhood cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility and acceptability for a trial to evaluate exercise behaviors, fatigue and exercise motivation in adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer who participate in an outdoor exercise intervention compared to survivors who participate in an indoor exercise intervention. A pilot randomized cross over design will allow participants to be compared to traditional controls as well as self-controls.
This multicenter, prospective cohort study evaluates early cardiac dysfunction in adult survivors of childhood cancer. The hypothesis of this study is that cardiac dysfunction can be detected earlier when using speckle tracking echocardiography as novel echocardiographic technique compared to conventional echocardiography.
This proposal addresses the major challenge of improving health outcomes for children with cancer and other complex conditions, for whom the effectiveness of outpatient care depends on care coordination across a diverse group of caregivers that includes parents, community support organizations and pediatric care providers. The investigators have developed GoalKeeper, a prototype system for supporting care coordination across multiple care providers. The primary aim of the clinical trial is to assess the potential for this new system, GoalKeeper, to improve meaningful use of goal-centered care plans in the care of children with cancer and other complex chronic conditions.
To measure coronary calcium score in adults treated during childhood or adolescence for irradiation cancer in the heart and / or anthracycline area and compare them to determine whether irradiation of the heart area is associated with increased calcium score after adjustment for other cardiovascular risk factors (age, sex, smoking, dyslipidemia, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and renal failure).
