NCT ID: NCT03462485 Recruiting - Dementia Clinical Trials

Pilot Study of the Effects of Playing Golf on People With Dementia

Start date: September 30, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The research question for this study is whether golf is a suitable physical activity for people with dementia (PWD). It follows a qualitative pilot study in Lincoln where PWD enjoyed the activity and caregivers appreciated the service. Golf combines many desirable elements in a physical activity programme that include being outdoors, social, cognitively challenging, no reaction-time component, and being a typical everyday activity. The length of time that golf sessions last could also offer a potential respite from care for caregivers. Participants will be people with dementia and their caregivers. Eligibility criteria will include having been clinically diagnosed with dementia, being able to stand on one leg for at least six seconds to ensure participants are able to balance sufficiently well to be able to play golf. The study will be undertaken at The London Shire Golf Club, with the golf training provided by the Golf Trust, which is a charitable foundation experienced in providing golf training to people with a range of different disabilities. The randomised controlled trial study will last 16 weeks, with a partial crossover design. The experimental group with have two eight-week periods of golf while the control group will have eight weeks without golf, then the golf intervention. There will be two 150-min sessions each week, starting with 30 minutes socialising, then 90 minutes playing golf, then 30 minutes socialising. The golf sessions will progress from putting, to chipping, and then a full swing, with sessions taking place on a nine-hole golf course. Participants will be evaluated before and after each eight-week period for physical function, physical activity level, cognitive function, and quality of life. Their caregivers will also provide information related to the PWD in terms of quality of life and psychopathology in dementia, as well as their own quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT03460106 Recruiting - Asthma Clinical Trials

Start date: April 2, 2018

NCT ID: NCT03442803 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Shoulder Dislocation

Propofol Target-Controlled Infusion in Emergency Department Sedation

ProTEDS
Start date: April 3, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There exists continued controversy over the use of propofol in Emergency Department procedural sedation, this is despite its widespread existence in clinical practice for at least a decade. These concerns are not limited to the ED setting and are primarily related to the pharmacological properties of the drug itself and its potential for harm. The bolus administration of propofol, aimed at a target of sedation, offers several advantages over more traditional agents, yet these advantages are also its limitations. The use of a target-controlled infusion may provide the sedationist with greater control over the pharmacokinetics of propofol and thus reduce the rate of adverse incidents. This feasibility study aims to use a pragmatic design to test the safety and efficacy of propofol TCI whilst assessing the practicalities of it's use in the ED. If it proves to be feasible then the researchers plan to proceed to a multi centre pilot study to gather information to adequately power a larger randomised multi centre trial.

NCT ID: NCT03441906 Recruiting - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

QUEST: QUality of Life and Experiences of Sarcoma Trajectories

QUEST
Start date: February 15, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Background: The prognosis of patients with rare cancers in general and sarcomas in particular suffers from delay in diagnosis. Routes to diagnosis for sarcoma need to be quicker and more streamlined, but have neither been studied in detail in larger numbers before, nor in a direct comparison between two countries with different health systems. Comprehensive assessment of diagnostic delays and its determinants, including demographic, clinical, psychosocial and health care system factors, is necessary to improve referral pathways and come to best practice and patient reported outcomes for sarcoma patients. Research questions to be answered: This study aims to quantify diagnostic delay (including patient, general practitioner and system delay) and evaluates routes to diagnosis and referral to sarcoma expert centres in the Netherlands and England; to comprehensively evaluate risk factors of diagnostic delay; determine the association between diagnostic delay and outcomes (health-related quality of life, quality-adjusted life years, patient satisfaction, TNM classification, time to local/distant relapse and overall survival); and to assess differences between both countries. This should lead to advices about faster referral where possible.

NCT ID: NCT03438994 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Early Assessment of Autism Through Smart Tablet Gameplay

Start date: January 10, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of an iPad application (Play.Care assessment) with the current clinical "gold standard" diagnosis for diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children. Recent evidence has suggested that movement abnormalities are one of the early markers of ASD. However, current clinical diagnostic assessments fail to take this into account. Further, the current "gold standard" clinical tests take a number of hours to administer, require extensive clinical training and are subject to a certain level of subjectivity. Alternatively, by assessing a child's interaction with an iPad screen as they play, an objective measurement of movement can be obtained, which can aid in the diagnostic process. This study aims to recruit a total of 760 children (Typically Developing (TD), Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders (OND) and ASD groups) to assess the diagnostic accuracy of tablet game play in ASD. Children who have been diagnosed with ASD will perform the Play.Care assessment to assess if the tablet result matches their clinical diagnosis. Results from the clinical assessment and Play.Care assessment will then be compared to assess the sensitivity (the proportion of participants with ASD who test positive for ASD as a result of the Play.Care assessment) and specificity (the proportion of participants without ASD who test negatively for ASD as a result of the Play.Care assessment assessment) of the Play.Care assessment.

NCT ID: NCT03435796 Recruiting - Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Long-Term Follow-up Protocol for Participants Treated With Gene-Modified T Cells

Start date: June 19, 2018
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a prospective study for the long-term follow-up (LTFU) of safety and efficacy for all pediatric and adult participants exposed to Gene-modified (GM) T cell therapy participating in a previous Celgene sponsored or Celgene alliance partner sponsored study. Participants who received at least one GM T cell infusion will be asked to enroll in this LTFU protocol upon either premature discontinuation from, or completion of the prior parent treatment protocol.

NCT ID: NCT03435393 Recruiting - Brugada Syndrome Clinical Trials

Ripple Mapping for Epicardial Mapping of Brugada Syndrome

Start date: September 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Whether a mapping algorithm "Ripple-mapping" is able to rapidly identify the areas of long-duration multicomponent electrograms which constitute the targets for ablation for an automated strategy remains to be assessed.

NCT ID: NCT03434639 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Gut Permeability Assessment

GutPerm
Start date: March 29, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This research aims to develop portable devices - known as fluorescence spectrometers - to monitor the leakage of fluorescent dyes out of the gut into the blood stream. These devices will measure the leakiness (permeability) of the gut in a non-invasive manner and will provide an early warning that patients are at risk of infections caused by the unwanted flow of bacteria from the intestine to the rest of the body.
