Filter by:Post-Covid syndrome, also known as long Covid, is a clinical condition in which patients experience long term symptoms after Covid-19 infection. Treatment options for post-Covid are not effective. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a novel therapy. The first study results of HBOT in post-Covid patients are promising. Previous research from Israel has shown improvements in quality of life after HBOT. However, long term results are unknown. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate quality of life at one year after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in post-Covid patients with cognitive symptoms. It is hypothesized that quality of life at one year after HBOT is improved. Furthermore, this study aims to evaluate return to work after HBOT. To our knowledge this was not done before. An observational prospective cohort study will be conducted to answer the research questions. All post-Covid patients who are treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in participating centers, will be eligible for inclusion. Questionnaires and medical doctor consultations will be used in order to collect all data. There are no risks for participants, since only 7 questionnaires are not part of standard clinical care. The burden is approximately 40 minutes extra in total for participants, compared to standard clinical care.
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if several weeks of self-administered, home-based, treatment involving breathing hydroxy gas (a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen) for at least 2 hours a day for 3 weeks, will relieve symptoms in patients suffering from Long COVID. The main question it aims to answer is whether inhaling hydroxy gas might be a useful treatment option to help patients with long COVID cope better and recover quicker from this condition. Participants will wear a nasal canula (placed in their nostrils) to inhale a gas from a machine that they will be trained to use at home. In one 3-week period, the machine will deliver hydroxy gas (treatment) and in a separate 3-week period the machine will deliver normal air (placebo). The order of the treatment or placebo periods will be randomized and separated by a minimum of 3-weeks during which the participants will not use the machine ('washout' period). Neither the participant nor the investigators will know which 3-week period is the treatment and which is the placebo phase. Participants will visit the laboratory (or be tested at home) at the start and end of each 3-week period. Testing will involve measuring physical ability (handgrip strength, how far they can walk in 6 minutes, how many times they can stand up and sit down in a minute), breathing problems (how hard they can blow out, how breathless they feel), cognitive ability (how quickly they can mark out a trail based on numbers and letters), and state of mind (mood). The investigators hypothesize that compared to inhaling placebo, inhaling the hydroxy gas will produce greater improvement in physical ability, relieve breathing problems, and enhance cognitive ability and mood, thereby showing that it can relieve key symptoms of long COVID
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial aiming to investigate the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement therapy under the hypothesis that immunoglobulin replacement would have therapeutic effects on persistent COVID-19 in patients with B-cell impairment.
The aim of the trial is to assess the safety of using simplified personal protective equipment (PPE) for vaccinated or COVID-19 convalescent healthcare workers working in COVID-19 ICU or COVID-19 wards. The trial is designed as a prospective randomiyed observational trial with volunteer medical staff working in COVID-19 departments aiming to show non-inferiority of simplified PPE vs standard COVID-19 PPE.
This is an observational, cohort study that will use secondary data to describe the baseline demographics and clinical characteristics in patients who received EVUSHELD as PrEP against SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 in Japan. All patients who have a record of administration of EVUSHELD in the database will be included in the study. The index date will be defined as the date of first EVUSHELD administration in the database (Day 0) and the patients will be followed up to 6 months after the index date (Day 1 to 180). The look back period is defined as the 12-month period prior to index date (Day -360 to -1). The exposure of interest will be defined as the administration of EVUSHELD for use as PrEP against COVID-19. As the result of feasibility assessment, sample size of the study expected to be approximately 280.
The purpose of this study is to find out if a community health workers (CHW) intervention conducted in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) can increase the number of adults with chronic illnesses who are up-to-date with their COVID-19 and influenza vaccines.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and benefit of a human cord blood derived stem cell infusion as a treatment for individuals with post COVID-19 neurological problems. Participants in the study will have 6 clinic visits over a 12 to 14 mo. period with each visit lasting 2 to 6 hours. Participants will receive 1 stem cell infusion at study visit #3. Participants will have a brain PET and MRI scan at the baseline and 6mo. post-infusion visits. Follow-up safety assessments will be conducted at 6mo. and 1yr. after the stem cell infusion.
The goal of this cluster randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of messaging interventions to increase booster vaccine uptake in adults in the emergency department(ED). The main question[s] and goals of this study are: - does the intervention of vaccine messaging increase booster vaccine uptake at 30 days post ED visit? - does the intervention of asking about vaccine acceptance increase booster vaccine uptake at 30 days post ED visit? - considering recent national changes to funding and availability of updated vaccines, the investigators will examine the effects of these changes on vaccine acceptance and uptake in ED populations. Specifically, they will stratify EDs and ED patients according to the ED availability of vaccines, and they will also examine whether costs and availability of vaccines are a deterrent to patient acceptance and uptake of vaccines
About 10-20% of persons who contract SARS CoV-2 will experience persistent post-acute sequelae of SARSCoV-2 infection (referred here as PASC). While treatments offered at emerging outpatient COVID recovery clinics are being informed by previous similar diseases, the need is great for a better understanding of the unique needs of this growing population and for tested, efficacious rehabilitation programs to address them. We provide both here.The targeted six-week program will be comprised of a core set of therapies, including individually titrated stretching and flexibility, strengthening of accessory breathing muscles and diaphragm, resistance and aerobic conditioning, and vestibular rehabilitation, supplemented by neuropsychological and cognitive remediation tailored to patients' needs.
Long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome is a complex syndrome that affects people following SARS-CoV-2 infection. This currently affects 1.4 million Canadians, with the most common symptom being fatigue. This feasibility trial will compare a newly developed rehabilitation program (COVIDEx) for treating post-COVID-19 fatigue to standard of care. The experimental treatment group will receive an 8-week multi-modal rehabilitation program with two 50-minute sessions per week. Sixty participants will be recruited and randomly assigned to the COVIDEx program or standard of care and will be followed for 24 weeks.
