NCT ID: NCT05565638 Recruiting - Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials

PROFAST Intervention in Precursor Multiple Myeloma

PROFAST
Start date: March 6, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a 4-month randomized trial of a prolonged nightly fasting intervention (PROFAST) in 40 overweight and obese individuals with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), and smoldering waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (SWM). The purpose of this study is to understand if fasting for a prolonged period of time during the nighttime hours is a strategy to prevent overweight and obese individuals from developing blood cancer. Participants will be randomized into the following two groups: - Group A: PROFAST intervention for 4 months - Group B: Healthy Lifestyle Control group for 4 months

NCT ID: NCT05545943 Completed - Fasting Clinical Trials

Effects of Calorie Restriction and Cold Stimuli on Health-related Indicators, Cognitive and Motor Functions

Start date: February 8, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial was to identify if duration of acute calorie restriction (CR)/fasting or combination CR with cold stimuli have any effects on mental and physical health-related markers, and to clarify if different fasting strategies have any effect on cognitive and motor functioning efficiency in different genders. The main questions it aims to answer were: - Does fasting duration have any effect on fasting evoked responses? - Does cold interventions can modulate fasting evoked responses? - Does sex have any effect on acute fasting evoked responses? For the first part, participants were randomly classified into 4 groups: two experimental groups: 2-days of CR (0 kcal diet) and 6-days of CR (0 kcal diet), and two control groups: 2-days or 6-days usual diet. For the second part, participants were randomly assigned to undergo the following conditions: 2-days of CR with two 10-min whole-body cold-water immersions on separate days, 2-days of CR without cold-water immersion, 2-days without CR with two 10-min whole-body cold-water immersions on separate days, or 2-days of the usual diet without cold-water immersion in a randomized crossover fashion. Changes in anthropometric characteristics, perceived stress, metabolism, overall health (total blood count, sex hormones, etc.), psycho-emotional state, cognitive and motor functions were examined.

NCT ID: NCT05482750 Completed - Exercise Clinical Trials

Resistance Training in the Fasted State

Start date: May 23, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is well evidenced in the literature that fasting aerobic exercise generates a series of metabolic differences when compared to exercise performed in the fed state, including the use of fats predominantly as an energy source. Consequently, increases in adaptations to aerobic training, related to health and physical performance, are observed when sessions are performed in the fasted state. In relation to resistance training, the evidence is limited. There is a lack of data in the literature regarding the effects of fasting on resistance exercises and whether this practice may reflect in losses or improvements in morphological and neuromuscular adaptations related to resistance training. Thus, the aim of the present project is to compare the effects of resistance training performed in the fasted state compared to the fed state during 12 weeks on body composition and physical performance in young adults. Thirty-four eutrophic or overweight individuals, not engaged in regular resistance exercises, aged between 20 and 40 years, will be recruited. They will be put on a standard customized diet and will perform 2 weekly sessions of resistance exercise after overnight fasting (10 to 12 hours) or in the fed state, for 12 weeks. Before, in the middle and after this period, evaluations of body composition, muscle thickness and quality, maximum dynamic strength and maximum power will be analyzed. Comparisons will be performed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE), adopting the factors group (2 stratifications) and time (3 stratifications). All results will be expressed as mean and standard deviation and the accepted significance level will be 5%.

NCT ID: NCT05219136 Completed - Fasting Clinical Trials

Improve the Comfort, Safety and Quality of Upper Endoscopy by a Modified Fasting Protocol

Start date: October 7, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This double-center, prospective, interventional study aims to include 200 gastroscopic procedures and investigate the relationship between fasting time and feeling of subjects. The subjects will all receive examination between 10:30 to 11:30am. In the control group, the subjects are required to start the fast at 10:00pm the day before examination and can not drink water after 8:00am on the day of examination. In the test group, the subjects are required to have customized rice congee before 6:30am on the examination day and can not drink water after 8:00am. All subjects complete questionnaire which include discomfort and willingness to accept the same fasting regimen.

NCT ID: NCT05181904 Recruiting - Pediatric ALL Clinical Trials

Gastric Content Ultrasound Monitoring Prior to Extubation in Critically Ill Children

GastrExtub
Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Nearly half of critically ill children are intubated and enterally fed according to recent guidelines. However, no evidence-based recommendation are available regarding fasting times prior to extubation. When an extubation is planned, children do not always present with normal neurological status yet, and are at risk of vomiting and aspiration. Extubation may also fail and require re-intubation with similar risks. Thus, pre-operative fasting guidelines are often transposed to the paediatric critical care setting, aiming for an empty stomach at extubation, with perceived decreased risks of aspiration. However, the gastric and gut motility pathophysiology is significantly different in critically ill children (frequent gastroparesis, liquid continuous feeding, etc.) compared to planned surgery children. The extrapolation of practice validated in the latter population may be inadequate. The stomach may be empty more or less rapidly than expected, leading to unnecessary prolonged fasting times or inappropriately short fasting times respectively. Gastric ultrasounding monitoring may help assessing gastric content prior to extubation. Investigators hypothesise gastric content clearance may be different in critically ill children prior to extubation, compared to pre-operative paediatric guidelines for elective surgery.

NCT ID: NCT05134207 Completed - Fasting Clinical Trials

The Effect of Oral Carbohydrate Solution on Anxiety and Comfort in Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroplasty

Start date: September 11, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Surgical interventions are not only a physiological trauma, but also a psychological and social trauma because they cause deterioration of the individual's comfort. Comfort is among the most basic human needs and provides a better care output. One of the conditions that cause deterioration of comfort and anxiety in patients is hunger and thirst before surgery. Since 1994, several guides published by professional groups in many countries on pre-operative fasting periods have published that clear liquids can be taken up to 2 hours before the surgery in elective surgeries, and solid foods can be taken up to 6 hours before the surgery. One of the basic principles of ERAS protocols, which include evidence-based care interventions applied at all stages of the surgical process, for the preoperative period is to ensure that the patient takes a carbohydrate drink up to two hours before anesthesia and to shorten the long fasting period. In many countries, the problems experienced by patients as a result of long-term hunger have been identified. When the comfort status of the patients who were given carbohydrate-rich drinks before the surgery was examined, it was observed that the symptoms such as thirst, hunger, insufficiency, fatigue, nausea, pain, anxiety and depression were reduced and oral carbohydrate solutions were recommended. In the literature, it is stated that the prolongation of the fasting period causes an increase in the anxiety of the person and negatively affects his comfort, and it is recommended to drink 800 ml of carbohydrate liquid food until midnight the day before the surgery and 400 ml of liquid carbohydrate food 2-3 hours before the surgery in order to provide metabolic satiety. The nurse, who is one of the health workers responsible for the care of the patient, has to manage the restriction of oral food and liquid intake and the comfort of the patient in the best way before the operation. Accordingly, in our study, the answers were sought whether the oral carbohydrate solution given before hip arthroplasty had an effect on anxiety and patient comfort.
