Filter by:The goal of this experimental prospective study is to build an explicative model of trait fatigue in adults with schizophrenia engaged in a psychosocial rehabilitation process. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which factors amongst those evaluated explain the most of fatigue variance in people with schizophrenia? - Which clinical factors characterise the most fatigued participants compared to less fatigued participants? Participants will wear an accelerometer for seven days to assess their sedentary and physical activity behaviours as well as their sleep. After this, they will undergo an experimental visit, to asses: - Fatigue - Cognitive function - Tobacco and caffeine consumption - Fatigue catastrophizing - Sleep quality - Sarcopenia risk - Functional capacities - Handgrip strength - Quadriceps maximal strength and fatigability
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cangpo Liujun Prescription works to treat cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing second-line chemotherapy with spleen deficiency and dampness excess. It will also learn about the safety of Cangpo Liujun Prescription. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Cangpo Liujun Prescription improve the fatigue symptoms for participants? How about the relationship between taking Cangpo Liujun Prescription and distribution of intestinal flora? Researchers will compare Cangpo Liujun Prescription to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Cangpo Liujun decoction works to treat cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing second-line chemotherapy with spleen deficiency and dampness excess. Participants will: Take Cangpo Liujun Prescription or a placebo every day for 3 months Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms Take blood samples to detect immune function and inflammatory factors Collected Feces for gut microbiota analysis
Physical exercise is an effective tool for the prevention of various chronic diseases. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common chronic pain condition, in which patients may also experience a variety of other symptoms, including sleep disturbances, fatigue, stiffness, frequent episodes of pain and mental health problems, as well as possible gastrointestinal disorders. Furthermore, according to the American College of Rheumatology, such a generalised non-joint pain state occurs for at least three months in duration, predominantly in women over 50 years of age. In turn, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) presents as a disease characterised by persistent and debilitating fatigue lasting at least six months. The origin of FM and CFS is unknown, although alterations in the central nervous system (CNS), as well as abnormalities in muscle physiology and immune/inflammatory response are suggested as the main causes. In addition, most patients with FM are sedentary and in poor physical condition, exacerbated by pain, fatigue or depression, which can limit their daily activities and affect their quality of life and work opportunities. In this regard, physical exercise is considered the most important non-pharmacological strategy for the treatment of FM; however, many clinically relevant questions remain unanswered regarding the most effective approach to exercise therapy in FM patients. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to analyse the possible physical and mental benefits of a physical exercise programme in people diagnosed with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can impact muscle fatigue. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does tDCS of the left DLPFC increase the time that a fatiguing contraction can be maintained? 2. Does tDCS of the left DLPFC decrease the rate of increase of muscle activity, force error, and standard deviation of force during a fatiguing contraction. Researchers will compare tDCS of the left DLPFC to a SHAM stimulation (a type of stimulation that feels like real tDCS but does not elicit physiological effects) to see if tDCS of the left DLPFC works to reduce the progression of muscle fatigue. Participants will: Performing two experimental sessions held 3-10 days apart (usually 7 days) Perform a 9 hole pegboard test, maximum voluntary contractions, and a fatiguing contraction.
The main objective of the MS Boost study is to demonstrate the superiority of MSCopilot Boost over standard practice in reducing the impact of fatigue on Patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The secondary objectives include validating MSCopilot Boost clinical performance in reducing fatigue and its impact as well as evaluating its functional tests performance and its safety of use. The investigation team will also investigate the effects of MSCopilot Boost on patient symptoms, functional parameters and physical activity levels. The investigation team will evaluate patients and healthcare professionals' perceived clinical benefit as well as adherence, satisfaction and user experience related to the mobile application and the web portal. Ultimately, the investigation team will define the medico-economic and organizational impact of the MSCopilot Boost solution. Patients' expected benefits are the access to additional clinical tests not routinely performed, covering dimensions not addressed by standard tests like the EDSS for example; a remote monitoring of functional tests similar to those of the modified MSFC with the possibility of adding an evaluation of fatigue through digital questionnaires; improvement of symptoms related to MS fatigue through access to a personalised tele-rehabilitation program. Healthcare professionals' expected benefits are to track objective measures of key functional symptoms of the disease between consultations, supporting MS patients' management and to gain time by providing a "big picture" of the patient's condition over time.
Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） has achieved some meaningful results in improving the symptoms and quality of life of cancer patients, but many research results need to be further verified by clinical trials with larger samples and better design.This study aims to investigate effectiveness and safety of Zhengyuan Capsules for cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer.
Intermittent and continuous theta-burst stimulation (iTBS and cTBS respectively) are the newer modalities of transcranial magnetic stimulation with documented efficacy in treatment of depressed mood but with conflicting results regarding their efficacy in treatment of other symptoms of depression such as insomnia, daytime sleepiness and fatigue. This study will investigate the efficacy of iTBS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and cTBS over the right DLPFC, compared to sham stimulation, in treatment of insomnia, daytime sleepiness and fatigue in depression.
Local head and neck cooling strategies can help reduce multiple sclerosis-related fatigue, while heating can exacerbate heat-related fatigue. However, no study has detailed the peripheral and central responses to head and neck cooling (at 18°C) and heating (at 43 ± 1°C next to the scalp and neck skin) during fatiguing isometric exercise in non-challenging ambient temperature in multiple sclerosis and healthy male subjects. In addition, there is a lack of data describing the effects of head and neck cooling/heating and strenuous exercise on blood markers, muscle temperature, motor accuracy, and rate of perceived exertion. The investigators hypothesized that: (i) men with multiple sclerosis would be more affected by central and peripheral fatigue compared to healthy subjects; (ii) local cooling will result in greater central fatigue but will be associated with greater peripheral fatigue, whereas heating will result in greater central and peripheral fatigue in multiple sclerosis men; (iv) local cooling and heating will have a greater effect on the release of stress hormones, rate of perceived exertion and motor accuracy compared to the control condition in both multiple sclerosis and healthy groups.
This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of Reiki therapy applied to women in the postpartum period on the risk of fatigue and postpartum depression.
This study is the academic study and continuation and further development of a prior project under the leadership of Professor LeBlanc. Patients undergoing allogenic stem cell transplantation are followed up in the outpatient clinic. Here, patients are offered participation the fatigue study measuring both fatigue and cognitive impairment systematically by international standard. Previous study by Boberg et al suggested distinct mRNA and proteomic profiles segregating fatigued from non-fatigued patients as well as patients with or without cognitive impairment. A larger well-defined patient cohort is necessary to confirm these results. Investigators aim to identify specific sets of proteins in the CSF that can serve as potential biomarkers of cognitive dysfunction and/or fatigue. This will be performed with two methods: - by using mass spectrometry-based proteomics approaches - Olink technology PET examinations will be performed on both fatigued and non-fatigued. We will utilize the second generation TSPO radioligand [ 11C]PBR28 as well as the SV2A radioligand [ 11C]UCB-J, both showing high signal-to-noise ratio and adequate test-retest properties.
