Filter by:The investigators conducted a double-blind randomised sham-controlled study. Upon enrollment into the study, participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (i) active group: anodal stimulation over the right dlPFC (n = 10) or (ii) sham stimulation group (n = 10). Participants and raters were blinded to the condition. Subsequently, the participants were administered the IGT and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test by a trained neuropsychologist in a quiet laboratory. A computerized version of standard IGT was used. The order of the tasks performed in a single session was randomised. After the psychiatric and neurocognitive assessment, participants received three sessions of 20-minute active or sham anodal tDCS (once a day, every other day). Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and a modified version of Iowa Gambling Test were readministered after the last application. The order of the tasks was randomized again. A brief questionnaire on study blinding was also administered. Safety was assessed through open-ended questions based on the tDCS adverse events questionnaire
The study was aimed to investigate the role of cognition n in FoG.

In this study, high-resolution brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to evaluate the differences in brain structure and brain function network between patients with different degrees of disturbance of cognition and healthy controls by means of cohort follow-up and control study. The changes of patients' The dynamic changes of learning, to explore its clinical value as an early diagnosis. Combined with neurobehavioral scales and high-resolution brain structure, functional magnetic resonance imaging data to assess the brain structure, functional characteristics and consciousness of patients with impaired consciousness, and initially establish awareness of patients with recovery of consciousness Predictable imaging signs. Twenty eligible controls, 20 VS patients, and 20 MCS patients will be considered for inclusion in the inclusion / exclusion criteria. Informed consent will be obtained as required before starting any registration process.
This study focuses on whether or not physical activity and sleep quality correlate with the health of prostate and breast cancer patients. The activity data will be acquired using wearable actigraphy devices, which the subjects will wear for the duration of seven days. The sleep quality will be measured using a combination of actigraphy and the mandarin version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ). By using this combination, the investigators will not only measure the objective physical activity while the patient is asleep, but also the subjective sleep quality. The questionnaire will also function as control data for the accuracy of the actigraphy device. This study will recruit approximately 30 breast or prostate cancer patients. The participants will wear a wearable actigraphy device for 7 consecutive days, which will provide accurate and objective movement and sleep data. This data is linked to a unique Identification number (ID), which will be noted in the participant's case report. This case report also contains the participant's information and answers to the questionnaires.
The purpose of this registry is to establish a research data repository, comprised of data generated in the course of providing clinical services to patients treated by Virta Health, to conduct secondary research on clinical interventions and chronic diseases.
This study is a feasibility study of Internet-delivered CBT for OCD in children and adolescents (7-17 years) with comorbid Autism Spectrum Disorder.
This randomized trial with a crossover design will examine the efficacy of rTMS targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex as a treatment for medication-resistant major depression in patients meeting diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder.
It is reported in the literature that children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have executive function deficits, impaired social functions, emotional dysregulation, behavioral disorders and motor impairments. Furthermore, studies have shown that exercise, such as acute and chronic aerobic exercises and acute whole body vibration training, improves executive functions and motor abilities and so it is hypothesized that exercise may have a potential or additional treatment option for children with ADHD. Neurobiological researches have already proven the effects on brain changes during exercise and in the case of ADHD, increasing levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine within the front striatal lobes of the brain were highlighted when discussing the effects on this neurodevelopmental disorder. The literature emphasizes the importance of physical activity in children with ADHD, but there is no clarity regarding the frequency, intensity or duration of the exercise. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of treadmill training as an aerobic exercise and whole body vibration training on executive functions and balance in children with ADHD.
The study aims to develop and test a user-friendly, accessible approach to sleep assessment which can function as an initial "triage" of targeted sleep conditions, such as insomnia, insufficient sleep syndrome, sleep apnea syndromes/snoring, and circadian sleep/wake disorders, within the clinical and community population. Specifically, this study will test the validity and reliability of a self-rated, digitized, and cost-effective diagnostic measure with sufficient sensitivity to accurately assess/diagnose common sleep conditions and/or risk for these conditions. Such an approach, would allow for faster assessment of common sleep conditions and disorders, and provide clinical knowledge to the individual, the physician, and if required insurance companies, as to those persons who need more immediate attention or treatment for their sleep condition.
