Filter by:Aim: It was conducted to determine the effect of web-based animation supported progressive relaxation exercise on fatigue and sleep quality in individuals with epilepsy. Material and Methods: As a randomized controlled study with a pretest- posttest model, it was conducted with individuals with epilepsy who applied to Giresun University Faculty of Medicine Neurology Outpatient Clinic between February and December 2022.The sample of the study was determined as 60 epilepsy patients, 30 of which were in the control-30 experimental group, using power analysis. The data were collected by face-to-face interview technique using Personal Information Form, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, Fatigue Severity Scale.
Fatigue is common and disabling in patients with post-COVID syndrome. There is no treatment available at this moment, and fatigue has important consequences. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in the severity of fatigue using non-invasive neuromodulation in patients with post-COVID condition. This is a randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial using transcranial direct current stimulation. Secondary aims include changes in cognition, depression, and quality of life.
Length of hospitalization for COVID-19 infection may be increased due to the persistence of fatigue in 29-46% of cases. Its management is essential to prevent the chronic fatigue . Chronic fatigue syndrome affected between 30 and 40% of patients with SARS in 2003 or MERS in 2005 and persisted beyond 3 years. There is currently no specific treatment for acute or <4 months asthenia. To avoid the transition to chronicity, some authors recommend respecting a long rest period. However, a program combining adapted physical activity and therapeutic patient education has already shown significant benefits for combating recent or semi-recent fatigue following a cardiovascular pathology and even during cancer treatments. Therefore, the existing care pathway for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was adapted, combining exercise training and therapeutic patient education workshops.
Fatigue is a pervasive and disabling symptom in sarcoidosis with limited treatment options. There is a significant association between heightened stress and sarcoidosis-associated fatigue. The proposed project will evaluate the usability/feasibility of a smartphone-based stress management application for the self-management of sarcoidosis-associated stress and fatigue.
The aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of the supervized pulmonary telerehabilitation program and the cognitive telerehabilitation method, which includes pulmonary telerehabilitation methods, in patients with severe stage COPD who have difficulty exercising heavily. The effects of pulmonary and cognitive rehabilitation on dyspnea, muscle strength, functional capacity, quality of life, anxiety and depression levels in this patient group will be examined. The number of studies in the literature in which the pulmonary rehabilitation program was applied as telerehabilitation is insufficient. Considering that this patient group is not motivated and has difficulty in exercising, motor imagery and movement observation methods from cognitive rehabilitation methods may be alternative methods for these patients. Although these methods have been very popular in recent years in terms of researching and demonstrating their effectiveness in various patient groups in the literature, no study has been found in which the effects of these methods have been applied in pulmonary disease groups. This study aims to contribute to the serious gap in the literature on the application of pulmonary telerehabilitation and its effectiveness, and to be an original study by investigating the effectiveness of motor imagery and action observation, which are popular rehabilitation methods of recent years, in COPD patients in the pulmonary disease group for the first time.
Preclinical studies performed at Nestlé Research (NR) identified oleuropein as a novel activator of mitochondrial calcium import. This potentiated mitochondrial calcium uptake resulted in decreased phosphorylation of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), which is linked to its activation as a rate limiting enzyme for mitochondrial oxidation, as well as increasing mitochondrial oxygen consumption, resulting ultimately in decreases in muscle fatigue. In addition, NR demonstrated that during aging, mitochondrial calcium and oxygen consumption rates are decreased in isolated skeletal muscle fibers. The next step in the evidence development is to demonstrate efficacy of oleuropein for improved muscle energy and decreased physical fatigue in a healthy aging population.
The aim of this study will be to determine the effects of active tDCS on rotator cuff fatigue. This study will be a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, cross-over clinical trial based on non-probabilistic sampling for convenience, comprising a sample of 20 active asymptomatic subjects of all genders and aged between 18 and 35 years old. Subjects will be recruited via social networks, WhatsApp and emails and must be currently engaged in moderate physical activity (assessed by the IPAQ questionnaire) and asymptomatic at the time of assessment. In addition, participants will be asked not to perform any type of strenuous exercise and do not drink alcoholic or caffeinated beverages during the time the work is performed. The study will consist of three sessions, with an interval of 72 hours between them.
Postpartum fatigue is common in women after cesarean section and it affects the woman and the baby. Many noninvasive applications help to overcome this problem. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of acupressure on postpartum fatigue in women who had a cesarean section. The research will be carried out between August 2021 and August 2022 with mothers who have had a cesarean section at Kocaeli University Research and Application Hospital. The research will be carried out with two groups as acupressure and control group. The sample number was calculated using the G*Power 3.1.9.2 program and the acupressure group: 60 and the control group: 60. In order to increase the analysis power, the number of people for each group was taken as 65 (n=130). It is planned to collect the data with the Descriptive Information Form and the Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue. Acupressure will be applied to the mothers in the acupressure group once, once on the post-op day 0, twice on the post-op 1. day and once on the post-op 2. day, for a total of 4 times for six minutes, and no application will be made to the control group. Fatigue will be assessed with the Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue before administration on post-op day 0 and after administration on post-op day 2. The data of the research will be evaluated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22.0 program. In the evaluation of the data; descriptive statistics will be given as percentage, arithmetic mean±standard deviation, median and minimum-maximum values. Independent two-sample t-test will be used for normally distributed variables, and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed variables. Pearson Correlation test will be applied to determine the relationship between the fatigue severity of the experimental group and the tests and to determine the relationship between the tests. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
Physical activity helps to improve health and prevent chronic diseases. However, the fatigue usually hampers the training and execution of physical exercises, especially in people with chronic fatigue syndromes (CFCs), such as persons living with HIV (PLWH). We hypothesize that the "activity pacing", i.e. the strategy to optimize daily physical activity into manageable exercises in a way that should not exacerbate fatigue symptoms, may help a progressive improvement in physical activity of a group of PLWH with fatigue symptoms. Motivation and adherence to exercise will be monitored through the use of digital supports.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Alpinia galanga formulation, Theacrine formulation, and Caffeine formulation on fatigue, mental acuity, and cognitive health among overall healthy participants
