Filter by:This study will test the preliminary efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve fatigue and cognition in women with a history of breast cancer and persistent fatigue.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing droxidopa to placebo for fatigue in Parkinson's Disease. The primary outcome measure is change in the Parkinson's Disease Fatigue Scale, a 16-item scale that measures the physical effects of fatigue as well as the impact of fatigue on daily functioning and activities, including socialization. Secondary outcomes are the PDQ-39, a 39-item self-report questionnaire assessing Parkinson's disease-specific health related quality over the last month in 8 different dimensions of function and well-being, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, a questionnaire querying 8 situations for which the subject will rate the likelihood of falling asleep. There will be a screening visit (SC), baseline visit (BL), 2 clinic visits at 6 and 12 weeks (V01, V02), and telephone contact at 4 weeks and 8 weeks (T1, T2). In-person visits will include review of informed consent, concomitant medication review, adverse event review, pill counts, vital signs (including supine blood pressure), and outcome measurements. Telephone visits will include review of informed consent, concomitant medication review, and adverse event review.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well ethyl icosapentate and physical activity work in treating fatigue in patients with cancer that has spread from where it started to other places in the body. Ethyl icosapentate and physical activity may provide more robust and clinically effective improvement of cancer related fatigue, which may facilitate patients continuing cancer therapy since it would be tolerated and effective in controlling disease.
The purpose of the study is to learn about the impact of exercise on fatigue, anxiety, and depression in Parkinson's disease. It is well established that exercise improves the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However, it is not clear which types of exercise are most beneficial for specific non-motor symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a training of the inspiratory muscles against resistance at home during 10 weeks in multiple sclerosis patients with a severe disability.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study to evaluate the safety profile and ability of TW1025 oral solution to decrease fatigue in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
This research study is evaluating the usefulness of a placebo (a tablet with no active ingredients) on fatigue in cancer survivors.
This study will look at how dexamethasone and placebo influence radiation fatigue, quality of life and number of treatment days missed during radiation therapy or radiation therapy and chemotherapy for cancer.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial wherein subjects with breast cancer will be randomized to receive either 20 mg oral melatonin or placebo the night before their first radiotherapy (RT), nightly throughout their RT, and for an additional 2 weeks following the completion of their RT. After informed consent is obtained from eligible subjects, they will then be electronically randomized on a 1:1 ratio to melatonin treatment or placebo. The subjects will be stratified according to treatment duration (less than 3 weeks; equal to or greater than 3 weeks) and prior chemotherapy.
Background: - Fatigue is a common side effect of cancer and its treatment. No medications can treat this fatigue. Researchers want to see if the drug ketamine can improve fatigue after radiation therapy for cancer. They will compare the effects of ketamine on fatigue to midazolam, a sedative with similar effects. Objectives: - To better understand fatigue in people who completed radiation therapy for cancer. To look at the effects of a dose of ketamine on fatigue. Eligibility: - Adults 18 and older who completed radiation therapy for cancer and are enrolled in NIH protocol 08-NR-0132. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. They will complete questionnaires about their fatigue and take a breath alcohol test. - The study is divided into 2 phases: - During the first phase I visit, participants will have blood taken. They will talk about their fatigue and other symptoms. They will take thinking and handgrip strength tests. Then they will get either ketamine or placebo (midazolam) through an intravenous line, placed by a needle guided by a thin plastic tube into an arm vein. - Participants will have a follow-up phone call within 1 day. - Participants will have phase I visits 3, 7, and 14 days after infusion. For the 3- and 7-day visits, participants will take thinking and handgrip strength tests. They will complete questionnaires, talk about infusion side effects, and have blood taken. For the 14-day visit, they will talk about their fatigue and infusion side effects. They will start phase II that day. - Phase II visits are the same as phase I, except that the 14-day visit is over the phone.
