NCT ID: NCT06035263 Not yet recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Effects of a Functional Re-education and Environmental Adaptation Programme in Cancer Patients With Associated Respiratory Pathology

Start date: January 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

the investigators propose an interdisciplinary intervention, carried out by occupational therapists, nurses, physiotherapists and doctors specialised in this type of patient, aimed at improving conventional clinical practice and implementing a programme of functional re-education and environmental adaptation that implements conventional clinical practice, and which the investigators also consider to be an essential intervention in the follow-up of patients with associated respiratory pathology once they are discharged from hospital.

NCT ID: NCT05934578 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Lymphatic Function in Patients With Fontan Circulation: Effect of Physical Training

Start date: September 26, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: The Fontan operation has been used to treat complex cardiac anomalies with a single-functioning ventricle. A study performed by Instituto do Coracão-Hospital das Clínicas-Universidade de Sao Paulo (InCor/HCFMUSP)-Brazil, Hospital das Clínicas of Ribeirão Preto-Brazil, department of the University of Aarhus, and Rigshospitalet, Denmark demonstrated an impairment peripheral lymphatic function in Fontan patients compared with healthy controls. However, the ability to increase the frequency of contractions is impaired when stressed by hyperthermia. Lymph vessels in Fontan patients were unable to respond usually. The participants were only able to increase the frequency of contraction twice during stress, compared to a five-fold increase among healthy controls. At the microcirculation level, Fontan patients filtered less fluid into the capillaries interstitial space than healthy controls at venous occlusion pressure. Studies carried out at InCor/HCFMUSP demonstrated that supervised aerobic exercise training improves the functional capacity and neurovascular control in Fontan patients compared to the non-training control group. However, the effect of aerobic exercise and light muscle resistance performed through online rehabilitation has not yet been demonstrated in peripheral lymphatic function and microcirculation. Aim: Evaluate the effects of an aerobic and light muscle resistance exercise program on peripheral lymphatic function, capillary filtration, functional capacity, and quality of life in adults with Fontan circulation. Methods: The function of the superficial lymphatic vessels in the lower leg will be investigated during rest in supine and standing positions, using near-infrared fluorescence imaging using Indocyanine Green (ICG; Verdye, Diagnostic Green GmbH, Germany). The variables analyzed are contraction frequency (contraction/minute), pumping Pressure (mmHg), and packet velocity. Venous congestion plethysmography will perform to analyze the capillary filtration and cardiopulmonary exercise test for functional capacity. The quality of life will be evaluated using the SF-36 Short-Form questionnaire. Expected results: the physical training improves peripheral lymphatic function, capillary filtration, functional capacity, and quality of life in patients with biventricular compared to the control group (no exercise training)

NCT ID: NCT05882981 Completed - Muscle Strength Clinical Trials

Increased Femoral Anteversion and Physical Performance

Start date: October 20, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

It is important to determine how high femoral anteversion, which is one of the lower extremity malalignments, affects physical performance and to what extent it affects the daily life of the individual. As far as we know, there is no study on this subject except for a study conducted by Staheli et al. in 1977. Therefore, the investigators planned to determine whether and to what extent high femoral anteversion has an effect on physical performance in healthy young adults.

NCT ID: NCT05679596 Completed - Physical Inactivity Clinical Trials

Exogenous Ketosis During Bed Rest in Older Adults

KBR
Start date: February 27, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized, double-blind, parallel group interventional study is to evaluate the effect of ketone bodies on healthy older adults (65-85 y) during 5 days of bed rest. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does supplementation of ketone bodies prevent the typical decline in muscle protein synthesis, muscle size, muscle function, insulin sensitivity, and muscle mitochondrial function that occurs in response to bed rest? Researchers will compare ketone supplements (KET) to an energy matched control beverage (carbohydrates and fats) to see if the ketones can rescue the decline in muscle protein synthesis rates, muscle loss, muscle function, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial function due to 5 days of bed rest. This may positively impact the heath of older adults subjected to bed rest.

NCT ID: NCT05483361 Recruiting - Pulmonary Function Clinical Trials

Effect Of Smart Phone Addiction On Pulmonary Function, And Functional Capacity In Children

Start date: July 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Statement of the problem: Are there relations between smartphone addiction, neck posture, pulmonary functions and functional capacity in children? Null hypothesis It will be assumed that: - There will be no effect of smart phone addiction on head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children. - There will be no relation between smartphone addiction, head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children.

NCT ID: NCT05222295 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

The Effectiveness Pulmonary Telerehabilitation and Cognitive Telerehabilitation in COPD Patients

Start date: January 31, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT04952844 Not yet recruiting - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Functional Capacity in Survivors of COVID-19 Related ARDS
