Filter by:In this project the investigators will be using non-invasive brain stimulation on people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) to improve leg muscle function. Two groups of participants will be recruited. One group will perform strength testing with and without the brain stimulation. The second group of participants will perform a fatigue task, pulling against a wire at a low level of force, with and without the brain stimulation. This type of brain stimulation has been shown to transiently improve strength and fatigue measures in other populations, e.g. aged, Parkinson's, and improve cognitive abilities in people with multiple sclerosis. It is the investigator's hope that the increases in performance seen in other patient groups will also occur in people with multiple sclerosis. Future investigations will look to apply the non-invasive brain stimulation technique during physical rehabilitation to improve short and long term outcomes related to physical function.
Effects of Qigong on symptom clusters of dyspnea, fatigue, and anxiety in Vietnamese lung cancer patients: A randomized control trial
Circumstantial evidence suggests that patients diagnosed with myalgic encephalopathy/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) perform worse on day 2 in a 2-day consecutive cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). The aim of this study is to examine if CPET can distinguish between ME/CFS patients and healthy controls.
Cluster randomised controlled trial to evaluate what the effect is of evidence-based order sets aimed at five indications on the appropriateness of laboratory test ordering in primary care.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of metformin hydrochloride and ritonavir in treating patients with multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. Metformin hydrochloride and ritonavir may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Depression is one of the most common psychiatric diseases, with prevalence estimates ranging from 5% to 20%. Depression is now recognized as a brain disease; it can be managed and treated effectively with a wide range of options, but its biological basis is still far from clear. Studies of monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs suggest polygenic inheritance, with an overall heritability estimate between 40% and 70 %. Gene-environment interaction has been recognized for a long time in the pathophysiology of depression, and its best biological substratum at present is represented by the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene. It would be interesting to study association between the novel allelic variants or at least the triallelic 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and depression. Depression is common in patients with end-stage renal disease and to occur in about 20% to 30% of hemodialysis patients. Interferon-induced depression is estimated up to 50% among patients with hepatitis C. Several sets of observations support the supposition that cytokines, and proinflammatory cytokines in particular, are involved in depressive disorders. Depression sufferers have been reported to have elevated blood levels of interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α).
To test the efficacy of a web-based stepped collaborative care intervention to reduce symptoms of depression, pain, and fatigue and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) in advanced cancer patients and to reduce stress and depression, and fewer CVD risk factors in caregivers.
Two groups of randomised rehabilitation patients will try a softwheels wheelchair and a regular one. One group will start with the softwheelsl and then change to the regular, and the other will start with the regular and then change to the softwheel.
The aim of the study is to investigate a pre and post workout supplementation (15 days) with Recoverben® , a Aloysia citriodora extract on recovery after exhaustive exercise. Effects will be investigated with 400mg Recoverben® and compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study will to be to evaluate the effects of a mobile intervention focused on improving the chronic disease self management skills of individuals with low health literacy. The intervention will provide information that culturally and linguistically tailored to participants' level of health literacy.
