Filter by: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.
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.
