Filter by:The healthy overhead athletes with and without upper trapezius myofascial trigger point will be asked to perform a scapular elevation task until the upper trapezius muscle fatigue. The first hypothesis is that the subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger point will show significant difference in scapular kinematics and muscles activities when compared to subjects without upper trapezius myofascial trigger point. Besides, the investigators suggest that subjects with/without upper trapezius myofascial trigger point will show significant difference in scapular kinematics and muscles activities after upper trapezius muscle fatigue, especially in subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger point.
Upper airway stimulation (UAS) is an effective surgical alternative for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who fail continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. This stimulation could lead to alterations in tongue strength and fatigability which could alter treatment outcome. The aim of the study is to investigate if UAS alters tongue strength and fatigability.
The aim of this study was to adapt the Chalder Fatigue Scale to Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties in young adults. Within the scope of the study, firstly the Turkish version of the scale will be developed and then its reliability and validity will be examined in healthy young adults in Turkey.
Background: Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common patient-reported impairments in survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma and is associated with adverse effects on psychological well-being and everyday life including family, work and social participation. Methods: The investigators here present a bi-centric (Cologne and Leipzig) pilot-study for a web-based intervention (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) on cancer-related fatigue. In detail, the investigators will conduct a non-randomized and non-controlled before-and-after study in a minimum of 20 survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma. Levels of fatigue and quality of life will be measured before the intervention (T0), post-intervention (T1) and at 3-months follow-up (T2). Results: The investigators will provide information regarding the feasibility of the intervention (i.e., response rate, patient and therapist adherence, and patient satisfaction) and preliminary results on the efficacy of the program in reducing CRF and increasing levels of quality of life. Aims: The results of this pilot-study will provide essential information to conduct a future randomized clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of this intervention in reducing cancer-related fatigue in survivors with Hodgkin lymphoma.
This study evaluates whether Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning (RIPC) can improve activity, gait and fatigue in people with Multiple Sclerosis. Half the participants will receive RIPC, the other half will receive a sham treatment.
study to correlate this level of objective physical activity with the levels of fatigue and quality of life in cancer patient being treated.
Evaluate the feasibility of a six-week group drumming intervention on fatigue, anxiety, and cognitive impairment when compared to an attentional control for cancer patients who have undergone at least one treatment session of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
A majority of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on in-center hemodialysis (HD) require several hours to recover from fatigue after an HD session. Evidence for practical interventions to improve this recovery time from conventional in-center HD is lacking. This study investigates the effects of reducing HD blood flow rates on patients' self-reported post-dialysis fatigue.
This study is a controlled pilot study with 17 participants with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The primary goal of this study is to objectively examine the effects of a multimodal dance intervention on walking-related performance fatigability. The secondary aim is to investigate the effects of a multimodal dance intervention on other MS symptoms related to fatigue and fatigability. The following research questions will be addressed: 1. Does a multimodal dance intervention have positive effects on walking-related fatigability? 2. Does a multimodal dance intervention have positive effects on other MS symptoms related to fatigue and fatigability?
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease that affects individuals worldwide without known pathogenesis, and the role of comorbidities has not been fully assessed in the scientific literature. An increased incidence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) has been described in Sarcoidosis although this association has not been explained yet and no data is available about the effect of treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in Sarcoidosis. Also, patients affected by Sarcoidosis usually experience a state of physical and mental weariness called fatigue and reported in approximately 60-80% sarcoid patients and thought to be a consequence of inflammatory mediators but the high prevalence of OSAS could be a remarkable bias in clinical evaluation because fatigue is also strongly associated with sleep disorders. Thus, there is a real need for assessing not only the real prevalence of OSAS in Sarcoidosis but also the effect of CPAP treatment on fatigue status experienced by sarcoidotic patients.
