NCT ID: NCT06357364 Recruiting - Procrastination Clinical Trials

Neural Changes Following Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Procrastination

Start date: April 8, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of and the neural changes following two cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) protocols for procrastination with a wait-list control group. The interventions will be delivered online in group settings. Both protocols include identical psychoeducation and cognitive modules aiming at identification and modification of dysfunctional automatic thoughts related to procrastination but will differ in the behavioral modules. The behavioral module in the first protocol is focused on timely beginning and realistic planning. The second protocol implements working time restriction. The wait-list control group will receive one of the CBT protocols after a waiting period that will last as long as the CBT intervention and the assessments performed directly after treatment. It is assumed that the interventions will be superior to the wait-list control. Primary (procrastination) and secondary (depression and anxiety) measures will be collected prior to and after the interventions (or waiting period in the wait-list group) and after 6 months in the two active condition groups. Additionally, neuroimaging measurements will be conducted before and after the interventions (or waiting period in the wait-list group). Approximately half of the participants will undergo functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and another half will undergo electroencephalography (EEG). Both methods are aimed at exploring neural correlates of the expected improvements in participants' self-regulation abilities.

NCT ID: NCT06345612 Recruiting - Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Impact of Eccentric Training in Hypoxia With Creatine on Metabolic Control and VO2max in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

Start date: November 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to assess the impact of eccentric training conducted in conditions of normobaric hypoxia or normoxia and creatine supplementation on metabolic control: profile and stability of glucose concentration, HbA1c value, hypoglycemia and insulin demand, as well as the level of muscle strength, VO2max and anthropometric parameters

NCT ID: NCT06345235 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Transthyretin Amyloidosis

New Biomarkers and Plasma Prothrombotic Potential in Cardiac Transthyretin Amyloidosis

Start date: July 11, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The development of cardiac amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of misfolded, insoluble proteins in the extracellular matrix of tissues. An important element of the clinical picture of the disease is the increased risk of thromboembolic complications, independent of the occurrence of atrial fibrillation, and the presence of intracardiac thrombi. The pathomechanism may be related to an increase in filling pressure or amyloid infiltration leading to myocardial damage and endothelial dysfunction, which may activate the prothrombotic inflammatory cascade, resulting in increased thrombogenic potential. Currently, there is limited published data on the potential role of new heart failure biomarkers in the assessment of ATTR cardiomyopathy, particularly in the assessment of asymptomatic carriers of pathogenic TTR variants. Moreover, there are few literature reports on the direct assessment of the coagulation system in this group of patients, and the pathomechanism of the increased thromboembolic risk is unexplored. Purpose of the study: To assess the diagnostic value of biomarkers related to heart failure (growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15), soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (ST2), galectin-3), amyloidosis ( TTR, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9, matrix metalloproteinase-9), neurofilament light chain (NfL)) and the generation potential thrombin as a marker of the prothrombotic state in the course of ATTR. Methods: This prospective, single-center study will include consecutive patients diagnosed with ATTR cardiomyopathy (GROUP 1, n=30), asymptomatic carriers of pathogenic TTR variants (GROUP 2, n=30), and a matched control group of healthy volunteers (GROUP 3 , n=20). Material for research was collected and secured from all study participants. After giving informed consent, all patients will be tested using the ELISA method from peripheral blood (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) GDF15, ST2, TTR, TIMP-1, MMP-9, galectin-3, NfL. The values of these biomarkers will be compared in subgroups and correlated with clinical data, laboratory test results, echocardiography including analysis of left ventricular global strain (GLS), and scintigraphy. Additionally, the prothrombotic potential of plasma will be tested in both groups of patients using the calibrated automatic thrombogram (CAT) method, in accordance with the protocol previously used in the laboratory Expected results: The project will provide information on the value of biomarkers in the assessment of ATTR cardiomyopathy, especially in the assessment of asymptomatic carriers of pathogenic TTR variants, which may translate into the creation of a diagnostic algorithm for early identification of the development of the disease. Moreover, it will allow us to determine whether patients with cardiac ATTR are characterized by a prothrombotic state, which has not yet been described in the literature and may have potential clinical implications.

Study type: Interventional

The Hyalex First-in-Human Study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, 2-phase, first-in-human study to evaluate the safety and technical performance of the HYALEX Knee Cartilage System for replacement of loss of articular cartilage and bone of the knee femoral condyles in symptomatic patients who require surgical treatment.

NCT ID: NCT06340854 Recruiting - Diabetes, Type 2 Clinical Trials

A Research Study to See How Switching From a Daily Basal Insulin to a New Weekly Insulin, Insulin Icodec, Helps in Reducing the Blood Sugar Compared to Daily Insulin Glargine in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

Start date: April 19, 2024
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study compares insulin icodec, a new insulin taken once a week, to insulin glargine, an insulin taken once a day. The study medicine will be investigated in participants with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get insulin icodec or insulin glargine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Insulin icodec is the new medicine being tested, while insulin glargine is already approved and can be prescribed by doctors. Participants will get one injection of insulin icodec once a week, or one injection of insulin glargine once a day, depending on the treatment group participants are assigned into. Participants will use a pen with a small needle to inject the medicine under participants skin into participants thigh, upper arm or stomach.The study will last for about 9 months, but participants will only be taking the study medicine for 6 months.

NCT ID: NCT06321861 Recruiting - Caffeine Clinical Trials

Motivational, Affective and Performance Effects of Caffeine Supplementation

Start date: January 19, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of caffeine intake on participants' energetic arousal, affect, motivation to achieve a training goal, satisfaction with training, and the sense of agency during training. Consequently, participants will engage in three sessions: caffeine, placebo, and no substance (in counterbalanced order). During each session, their affective and motivational states will be assessed, along with the performance of a standardized physical exercise test. The investigators hypothesize that participants who consume caffeine (caffeine condition) will exhibit higher levels of energy and motivation compared to the other two groups. Additionally, they are expected to experience greater optimism and expectancy regarding their training goals and achieve better results in the physical exercise test. A secondary aim of the study is to examine the impact of genetic variability on motivational and affective states of participants, as well as their performance in the physical exercise test after caffeine. The investigators will assess the CYP1A2 (-163C > A, rs762551; characterized such as "fast" (AA genotype) and "slow" caffeine metabolizers (C-carriers)) and ADORA2A (1976T > C; rs5751876; characterized by "high" (TT genotype) or "low" sensitivity to caffeine (C-carriers)).
