Filter by:Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic, generalized pain in muscles and joints with the presence of characteristic, symmetrically occurring so-called "tender points" - areas of the body that are excessively sensitive to pressure. The condition is associated with a feeling of chronic fatigue, mood and sleep disturbances and a sensation of body stiffness. These complaints are bothersome and significantly impair patients' functioning in every aspect of their lives. There are few studies evaluating the functioning and disability of people with fibromyalgia. No such study has been conducted in Poland to date. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the functioning and disability of fibromyalgia patients and the relationship of the level of disability with selected factors, such as pain intensity, emotional state, sleep quality, etc.
Chronic pain is associated with injuries and disabilities. This prospective observational study explores the injury or disability claims made by chronic pain patients. It evaluates the socio-demographics of the patient population. It explores the impact of pain clinic services on the patients' injury rehabilitation, insurance claim outcome, and socioeconomic situation.
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to test the feasibility of running a full scale randomized controlled trial that compares the effect of the PQ-ResPOND intervention versus usual care to improve recurrent pain in children, adolescents, and young adults with severe neurologic impairment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the study feasible and acceptable for participants? - Does PQ-ResPOND have a potential to be effective? Participants will: - answer surveys (their parents will) telling us about the child's pain, symptoms, and use of complementary therapies, and about their own psychological distress and satisfaction with care. - a group will receive the PQ-ResPOND intervention which consists of: - activating parents and providers by using the PediQUEST system, a web platform that administers surveys and generates feedback reports alerting parents and providers about the child's experience, AND - responding to child pain or discomfort by incorporating the Response team (members of the hospital's palliative care team) into the child's care to privde a standardized approach to managing recurrent pain. Researchers will use a comparison (control) group consisting of participants who will answer surveys and receive usual care (no feedback reports or consult with palliative care in this group) to see if a randomized design is feasible.
This is a single-arm community-based feasibility study examining recruitment, retention, adherence, and satisfaction with ENGAGE, a community-based intervention designed to address pandemic-related social isolation among people with disabilities. We will also examine preliminary, within-group effects on social participation. The findings of this study will inform a larger trial to examine intervention efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether an intervention called Pediatric Medication Therapy Management (pMTM) improves the identification and management of medication-related problems among children with medical complexity and polypharmacy.
The social distancing requirements for COVID-19 coupled with the adverse health impacts of social isolation and decreased access to healthcare in rural areas places older adults with disabilities in a dire situation. The smart sensor system to be deployed and studied in this project aims to reduce disability for rural community-dwelling older adults and improve health-related quality of life, including depression and anxiety. An implementation guide will be developed to increase success of future scale-up evaluations.
The aim of this study to evaluate the relationship of neuropathic pain with urinary and bowel incontinence, functional disability and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Senior Companion Programs (SCP) facilitate partnerships between community volunteers and local homebound seniors. Seniors served by the SCP will be provided with a companion who will conduct weekly visits with them, help with meal preparation or deliveries, provide transportation, assist with simple housekeeping, and socialize with the client amongst other tasks. These services are directed towards helping the senior client continue living independently in their own home instead of moving into an assisted living or nursing home. The SCP model is being evaluated to determine the impact of the services on the client's overall well-being and independent living status.
Disability-or apology; It is the inability or incompleteness of individuals to fulfill their roles in life, such as age, gender, culture, social and psychological factors, due to their inadequacies. Disability is not only a mental or physical health problem, but also a social problem. Having a disabled child and the type of disability present various difficulties to parents in the course of life. The difficulties in the care and education of these children are based on psychological, physical, social, economic and cultural realities.Families with diseases such as Cerebral Palsy (SP), Spina Bifida (SB), Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Down Syndrome (DS) are among them. Having a disabled child in the community can affect families in different ways. Every step of the education of disabled children (purpose, principle, education plan, game, school and family duties, etc.) is important for the disabled individual, family, teacher and society.
Implant placement is the solution of choice for replacing missing teeth in a fixed way. However, dental practitioners and surgeons are reluctant to place implants in the population of patients with special needs. They argue different arguments which involve various risk factors. A systematic review shows that it is clear that there is a gap in knowledge about implant placement in patients with special needs in order to argue the choices of prosthetic rehabilitation or abstention based on a scientific evidence-based approach. There is a need of studies with a large number of patients and implants. The Unit of Special Care Dentistry at the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand started to place implants in 2007. This study should present the evaluation of the survival, success and failure rate of implants placed under general anesthesia and of the prosthesis rehabilitation that followed.
