There are about 235 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Cyprus. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
In accordance with an independently matched group design methodology, 90 healthy volunteers (aged 18 to 40) were enlisted and randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups (sliding, tension, or control groups). The participants' group assignment was concealed from them. Using the Biopac MP36 electrodermal amplifier, constant skin conductors (SC) levels were captured for 20 minutes. A blind data collector used the Biopac software to gather the data. A pre and post-treatment measurement was taken with the thermal-camera and an ambulatory blood pressure monitor.
The aim of this research is to study the prognostic role of a selected combination of cytokines and adipokines in patients with myocardial infarction, as well as to determine their role in the development of adverse cardiac remodeling.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Cognitive Functional Therapy compared with Conventional Therapy in treating adults with chronic neck pain
Evaluation of the effect of aromatherapy applied to women with vasomotor complaints on menopausal quality of life and vasomotor symptoms.
The integration of teleconsultation (TC) and telemonitoring (TM) in cancer patients care may allow to improve person-centered care and patients' empowerment. The eCAN JA explores the role of telemedicine tools (i.e. TC & TM) in clinical trials focusing on tele-rehabilitation and tele-psychological support in different populations of cancer patients in 10 European countries. The pilots will be conducted among 354 patients affected by breast (BC, pilot 1a), head & neck (H&N, pilot 1b) and advanced (pilot 2) cancers. The main aim is to assess the effect of TC and TM program focused on rehabilitation and psychological support for cancer patients on patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in three pilots compare to usual care. Patients will be randomly assigned either to the intervention or control groups using a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the intervention group will receive weekly TC of 30 minutes during 8 weeks through the secure Edumeet platform. In pilot 1, tele-rehabilitation training will be performed by a remote physiotherapist and will consist of a series of rehabilitation exercises. In pilot 2, tele-psychological support will be performed by a remote psychologist and will consist of techniques for managing emotions and stress. In the intervention group, patients will also have the possibility to wear a smartwatch to automatically collect physical parameters. Patients in the control group will receive usual care. PROMs (i.e. quality of life, distress and pain) and physical parameters (i.e. physical activity, sleep quality and heart rate) will be monitored by a dedicated telemonitoring systems. A secure web platform will provide dashboard to clinicians for decision support. Patients' experience and costs data will be also collected. The results of the eCAN project will improve our knowledge on benefits and risks for TC and TM in cancer patients care.
H0: Among the intervention and control groups of reminder notifications relating to self-examination H01: Average breast cancer fear score and H02: There is no difference in the average score of breast cancer health beliefs. H1: Among the intervention and control groups of reminder notifications relating to self-examination H11: Average breast cancer fear score H12: Breast cancer is different in terms of average score of health beliefs
Patient safety is one of the indispensable parts of nursing education. Educating future healthcare professionals about patient safety is very important in terms of providing safe and quality service. In order to include patient safety in the education of nursing students and to determine the effectiveness of the education given, it is necessary to regularly evaluate their knowledge, skills and attitudes about patient safety. At this point, this study was planned in order to increase the awareness of senior nursing students about patient safety before graduation, to evaluate their knowledge, skills and attitudes, to improve the quality of patient care after graduation, and to help minimize or eliminate the possibility of making medical errors. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the flipped education model on the patient safety competencies of nursing students and their satisfaction with the education method.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of short-term L-Citrulline on central and peripheral blood pressure in healthy older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does L-citrulline favorably affect blood pressure at rest and during exercise? - Does L-citrulline favorably affect arterial stiffness? - Does L-citrulline favorably affect muscle oxygenation at rest and during exercise? Participants will be asked to consume L-citrulline and a placebo for six days and participate in the evaluation of their blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and muscle oxygenation before and after each intervention. Researchers will compare L-citrulline and placebo groups to examine whether L-citrulline supplementation affects the above health parameters.
The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate if a single acute BFR low load- exercise bout would reduce pain in patients with nonspecific shoulder pain and whether the potential hypoalgesia will be maintained after a 45-minute physical therapy shoulder exercise session. BFR exercise will be compared to a sham BFR exercise protocol. We hypothesize that the participants in the BFR group in will experience reduced pain and will be able to complete a scapula and rotator cuff muscles exercise loading program with reduced pain until the end of the exercise program.
Policystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinopthy during reproductive period. One of the factors implicated in the pathogenesis is insulin resistance. Asprosin, which is secreted from white adipose tissue is a new candidate for insulin resistance. Myoinositol is known to reduce insulin resistance in PCOS patients. The effect of myoinsitol on serum asprosin levels is unknown yet. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of myoinositol on serum asprosin levels in PCOS patients.
