Filter by:Cancer patients suffer from severe exhaustion and tiredness that is disproportionate to previous efforts and that cannot be completely reduced by sleep. The effectiveness of an 8 week yoga therapy (one hour a week) in patients with different cancer types on self-reported fatigue will be tested.
The proposed study is a single-center, single-blind three-group randomized (1:1:1) controlled trial (RCT) comparing two hypnosis interventions to waitlist control efficacy for MS-related fatigue.
Fatigue is a common symptom experienced by patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Prior works have demonstrated that it may profoundly impact the ability to return to productive activity and cognitive functions. However, few interventions have been applied in this population.The purpose of the current will be to test the effect of acupressure on fatigue reduction after traumatic brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to find out the changes in the measurable parameters of the dynamic and static position of the foot, caused by the tibialis posterior muscle which is activated by the fatigue protocol. The study includes 30 healthy patients whose socio-demographic and descriptive characteristics are held. The changes in the dynamic and static position of foot were measured by pedobarography whereas the level of fatigue was measured by Borg Fatigue Scale.
This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between pain, anxiety and fatigue and knee position sense, balance and dual task performance during menstrual cycle in females with Multiple Sclerosis (FwMS). In the neurologic group, especially in MS patients, it is well known that disease activity, course, and symptoms can be influenced by the menstrual cycle. Previous studies have reported that the fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle may have an effect on several neurological functions. Menstrual-related symptomatology has primarily been studied as a physiological phenomenon. Increased neurological symptoms, physical disorders and behavioral changes have been reported just before or at the beginning of menstruation in FwMS. For all these reasons,investigators think that relationship between pain, anxiety and fatigue and knee position sense, balance and dual task performance during menstrual cycle in FwMS.
This study aims to explore the effects of Task-Oriented Training (TOT) on occupational performance, activities of daily living and fatigue of children in pediatric oncology clinic. Hypothesis: There is no effect of TOT on occupational performance and satisfaction in children with childhood cancer. There is no effect of TOT on functional independence in daily living activities in children with childhood cancer. There is no effect of TOT on fatigue levels in children with childhood cancer.
A retrospective study on clinical and radiological findings in ME/CFS
Exploring epigenetic mechanisms of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is crucial to understand the mechanisms underlying its pathophysiology. Three potential candidates have been selected (BDNF, COMT, and HDAC genes). DNA methylation in the promoter regions of those genes will be explored. The investigators designed a randomised controlled trial and will enrol 70 patients with ME/CFS and 35 age-, sex-, and BMI-matched healthy controls. Both groups will be randomised in 2 groups and receive either one session of aerobic exercise or a validated test designed to trigger mental stress and mental fatigue. The primary aim is to assess genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of BDNF, COMT and HDAC genes in response to exercise and the stress task.
This study aimed to conduct a short- and long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program and compare its impact on nurses' professional quality of life, perceived stress and resilience. The research was conducted between January 2017 and January 2019 as a randomized controlled trial. The sample comprised 125 oncology-hematology nurses randomly assigned to a Experimental I (short-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program), Experimental II (long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program) or control group. Data was collected using Personal Information Form, Professional Quality of Life Scale-IV (ProQOL-IV), Perceived Stress Scale, and Resilience Scale for Adults. Measurements were obtained during pre- and post-test and at three-, six- and twelve-month follow-ups. Research hypotheses were analyzed using multilevel models.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acupressure on the severity and level of cancer-related fatigue in elderly patients with cancer.
