Filter by:To date, little is understood regarding post-COVID fatigue or cancer fatigue though it is known to affect a large proportion of patients (10-70% depending on the population). This study aims to investigate potential mitochondrial function and metabolic changes in brain to provide further information regarding the etiology of these changes leading to fatigue. This study hypothesized that Post-COVID fatigue is ensued by perturbations in metabolism and mitochondrial function in the brain. This is a case-control study. In this study, 30 patients (experimental group) complaining of persistent fatigue lasting longer than 4 weeks after recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection and the age/gender-matched control of 30 healthy subjects (control group 1) and 30 patients suffering from cancer-related fatigue patients longer than 4 weeks after remission (control group 2). Both the experimental group (post-COVID fatigue) and control group 2 (cancer fatigue) will be recruited from NUH outpatient clinic will undergo a session of MRI, 3D Arterial Spin Labelling (ASL) and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and the Chalder Fatigue Scale, Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale at baseline and follow-up visit.
The main aim of this study is to compare the effect of two non-invasive neuromodulation targets in patients meeting WHO criteria for the post-COVID condition. A randomized, parallel, double-blind study will be conducted. Patients will receive 15 neuromodulation sessions through transcranial electrical stimulation for 3 weeks, associated with cognitive stimulation during therapy. The main objective will be to evaluate the change in physical fatigue. As secondary objectives, changes in cognition, depression, pain, quality of sleep and quality of life will be evaluated. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of two targets (left dorsolateral prefrontal and M1) of the neuromodulation intervention, together with cognitive stimulation.
This pilot RCT aims to assess whether a simple PA behavioural modification intervention can be delivered safely and feasibly to individuals with Long COVID suffering long standing symptoms with concerns regarding their ability to perform activities of daily living. Participants will be randomised to receive an 8-week physical activity behavioural modification intervention alongside usual care or usual care alone. The primary outcome for this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of the intervention, including recruitment targets, randomisation, completion rates and acceptability to the study.
The goals of this clinical trial are: 1. Phase 2: to test a gamma adapted recombinant vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in healthy adult volunteers, previously vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 2. Phase 3 (first volunteer enrollement on March 25, 2023): to test a recombinant vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 comparing three different versions (Gamma Variant RBD-based ARVAC-CG vaccine, Omicron Variant RBD-based ARVAC-CG vaccine, Bivariant Gamma/Omicron RBD-based ARVAC-CG vaccine), in adult volunteers previously vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus The main questions to be answered are: 1. Phase 2: 1. What si the immune response after one dose of vaccine? 2. What is the safety and tolerability profile of this vaccine? 2. Phase 3 : 1. What is the immune response triggered by each vaccine formulation against Wuhan, gamma, and omicron variants. 2. What is the safety and tolerability profile of this vaccine? In phase 2, participants will receive one dose of the study vaccine and one dose of placebo 28 days apart, in a cross-over design. In phase 3 (not yet recruitment), participants will be randomized to receive one of the three possible types of vaccines and all of them will receive one dose of the corresponding vaccine and 1 dose of placebo 28 days apart, in a cross over design.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WPV01 in patients with mild/moderate COVID-19 infection
A. Primary objective Identifying risk factors for peri-operative complications in patients who have had COVID-19. B. Secondary objectives Identifying peri-operative complications in patients who have had COVID-19. Follow-up of peri-operative complications during hospitalization. Identifying the safe distance at which a patient can be operated after a Sars CoV2 infection without having an increased risk of peri-operative complications. C. Study inclusion and exclusion criteria 1. Inclusion criteria Patients should be included if: - are scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (bypass); - they give their consent for their data to be included in studies; 2. Exclusion criteria Patients should be excluded if: - they have emergency surgery; - have had Sars Cov 2 infection more recently than 3 months; D. Data Collection It is done in an excel table. Data collection is done anonymously. No patient-identifying data will be collected. The collected data will be about comorbidities, COVID-19 status - disease and vaccination, postoperative complications.
The objective of this trial is to compare the immunogenicity and the safety of the Beta-variant recombinant protein booster vaccine (VidPrevtyn® Beta, Sanofi) to a bivalent mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5, BioNTech-Pfizer) in adults previously vaccinated with at least 3 doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. The results will provide important data for the future COVID 19 vaccine strategy. A biobank will also be set up to evaluate the protection conferred by one or other of these vaccines as booster in the event of the emergence of new variants in the future.
The goal of this observational study is to measure the changes in the parameters of endocrine function and tissue sensitivity to hormones induced by SARs-CoV-2 infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does SARs-CoV-2 infection causes endocrine dysfunctions? - Does the treatment of the underlying endocrine dysfunctions, improves the clinical outcome or the occurrence of late onset complications of SARs-CoV-2 infection? - Are patients with previously known endocrine diseases more fragile in case of SARs-CoV-2 infection? Participants will undergo blood testing and a physical examination at admission, during hospitalization at discharge and 3 and 6 moths after discharge They results will be compared to those of patients admitted for other reasons in order to assess whether the prevalence of endocrine dysfunctions is increased compared with controls.
The aim of the study is to access the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for post COVID-19 fatigue.
Older and more vulnerable persons are more likely to get very ill when infected with the coronavirus, and have the highest COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rate. The majority of patients that are admitted to the hospital are older (>70 years), and some of them have been admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU). In the case of rehabilitation of older patients post-COVID-19, we do not know what the course of recovery for these patients will be, and what treatment/approaches will deliver the best outcomes. Persons that are recovering from a COVID-19 infection, and admitted on a geriatric ward for early rehabilitation, or geriatric rehabilitation ward or facility, can be included in the study. They will receive routine, usual care; participation in this study will not affect their rehabilitation care. Routine care data will be collected from their electronic patient files at admission to geriatric rehabilitation, and at discharge. This also includes some data about their premorbid status. In addition, study participants will be called six weeks and six months after discharge from rehabilitation and asked some questions about their recovery. There is no risk association with participation in this study. Data will be anonymously collected in an online database. The primary aim of this study is to get insight into the course of recovery in (geriatric) rehabilitation patients affected by COVID-19 in Europe. Mainly, we are interested in functioning in activities of daily living (ADL-functioning) such as toileting, bathing, dressing, etc., and in quality of life. The second aim of this study is to get insight into the treatment modalities employed and the organization of geriatric rehabilitation that post-COVID patients in Europe receive. Therefore, we collect data on the types of care provided and the professionals involved. Moreover, we collect some patient characteristics such as year of birth, gender, date of admission and date of discharge; and data about complications such as delirium, pain, post-traumatic stress syndrome, hospital readmissions, and mortality. Our hypothesis is that most patients will show recovery during geriatric rehabilitation and in the six months after. However, we expect that the amount and/or speed of recovery will vary between patients.
