Filter by:COVID-19 is associated with a high risk of complications from the central nervous system. Syndrome of cognitive disorders- in terms of memory, attention or executive functions among COVID-19 convalescents is often called brain fog (covid fog - CF). CF leads to psychomotor retardation and chronic fatigue syndrome, resulting in poor functioning and low quality of life. CF may affect up to 81% of patients after COVID-19. Prevalence of CF may be even greater among patients with severe forms of COVID-19. In the preliminary assessment authors found that 83% of COVID-19 inpatients had at least mild cognitive impairment. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with higher incidence of depression and anxiety disorders. CF pathogenesis is not fully understood. There exist no strict diagnostic criteria for it, as well as no therapeutic recommendations. Health care systems of many countries, including Poland, lack therapeutic programs addressed at patients with CF. Tianeptine may be a drug with potentially beneficial effects in CF. Neuroprotective, antidepressive, sleep-improving and anxiolytic properties of tianeptine allow it to choose as a candidate for CF amelioration. There is also data supporting the thesis that patients with CF may benefit from short-term group therapy. It has been proven to improve quality of life, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function in non-MC cognitive disorders. Expected research results: A database will be created from the collected clinical, laboratory and additional data. Statistical models will be created to predict: the duration of disorders, response to therapy, the final result of treatment. Among the markers of CNS damage, those which correlates with the patient's condition will be selected. The study will allow to estimate the prevalence of CF in the population. PET-CT and auditory evoked potentials also will be used to expand knowledge in the field of CF. Based on the existing data, an improvement is expected in all investigated participants as a result of rehabilitation and psychotherapy. Additional improvement is expected in the tianeptine group. Improvement will be defined as: reduction in the severity of anxiety and depression disorders, reduction in the severity of cognitive disorders, improvement in the quality of life. The results will be used to develop a new diagnostic and therapeutic pathway and a comprehensive intervention program in CF.
The study team proposes to evaluate the efficacy of Astepro® 0.15% nasal spray in treating SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults through a pilot and feasibility clinical trial at the University of Chicago.
To comparative pain intensity, chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity levels and quality of life in Parkinson's patients with post-COVID-19 and without post-COVID-19 was aimed in current study. Knowledge in the literature regarding this topic is still obscure.
It is not known to what extent the COVID-19 virus affects individuals with scoliosis during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this study it was aimed to comparatively investigate pain severity, posture disorders that can be assessed by artificial intelligence, physical activity levels and quality of life in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with and without COVID-19.
The purpose of this study is to understand why some people experience long term effects, such as shortness of breath and fatigue, after a severe COVID-19 infection
The goal of this observational study is to study the safety of initiation of antitumor therapy early after nucleic acid test turn negativity in tumor patients infected with COVID-19. The main questions aims to answer are: - Whether initiation of antitumor therapy early after nucleic acid test turn negativity in tumor patients infected with COVID-19 increases adverse events related to antitumor therapy. - Whether initiation of antitumor therapy early after nucleic acid test turn negativity in tumor patients infected with COVID-19 increases risk of re-infection of COVID-19. - How initiation of antitumor therapy early after nucleic acid test turn negativity in tumor patients infected with COVID-19 affects QoL of tumor patients Participants will be asked to answer the question about: - the severity and duration of COVID-19 symptoms - the date of diagnosis of COVID-19 - the date of negative nucleic acid test - the QoL of life before infection with COVID-19, during infection of COVID-19, after nucleic acid test negativity and receiving antitumor therapy
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an COVID-19 vaccination information video in adults with sickle cell disease. The main questions it aims to answer are why are some adults with sickle cell disease hesitant to receive COVID-19 vaccination and whether a COVID-19 vaccination information video tailored for people with sickle cell disease will reduce vaccine hesitancy. Participants will complete a brief survey before and after watching a short video with information on vaccine safety, efficacy, and the greater impact of COVID-19 infection on people with sickle cell disease.
The goal of this observational study is to learn the long-term prognosis of patients and the clinical characteristics of complications, which is of great significance for treatment of novel coronavirus infection pneumonia. This trial plans to include 5700 inpatients with positive SARS CoV-2 nucleic acid test results. This trial does not involve the use of specific drug. Participants's health and psychological status will be observed at the preset time points. The blood, feces, urine samples of patients will be collected for relevant tests.
This clinical trial aims to learn about the therapeutic value of Methylprednisolone, a well-known immunosuppressant, on cognitive deficits in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Does Methylprednisolone improve memory function in PCS patients compared to placebo? 2) Does Methylprednisolone improve other patient centered outcomes in PCS patients such as fatigue, mood and quality of life compared to placebo? 3)What are the side effects of Methylprednisolone in this patient population, and how common are they? Participants in this study will be patients with PCS and cognitive deficits, who will be asked to participate for 52 weeks. They will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: One group will receive Methylprednisolone once daily for six weeks, with a dosage reduction after week 4. The other group will receive a matching placebo once daily for six weeks, following the same titration regimen to ensure blinding. Participants will attend outpatient follow-up visits in weeks 8 and 20, with a final telephone follow-up after 52 weeks. Clinical examinations and safety monitoring will be conducted during the treatment phase. This study's results may help develop more effective therapies for this condition.
This proposed study aims to conduct timely research that promotes vaccine confidence and vaccination of two strongly recommended vaccines with suboptimal uptake rates: Human papillomavirus (HPV) and COVID-19 in vulnerable and underserved youth aged 11-14.
