NCT ID: NCT04756011 Completed - Clinical trials for Health Related Quality of Life

Health-related Quality of Life and Psychosocial Aspects of Diabetes Technology (Insulin Pumps)

Start date: March 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This study will be prospective comparative trial comparing between insulin pumps vs Multiple daily injections (MDI) in treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in terms of health- related quality of life (HRQL) and efficacy of glycemic control (HbA1c level ) Hypothesis: Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic b cells leading to disturbed glucose regulation and overt hyperglycemia which leads to variable consequences and complication. Consequently, individuals with type 1 diabetes have a lifelong dependency on insulin replacement therapy. Aim of the Work: To compare the psychosocial impact of insulin pumps versus multiple daily injections in treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (Via questionnaire) in terms of health-related quality of life and efficacy of glycemic control (HbA1c level).

Start date: January 6, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

NCT ID: NCT04708548 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Long Term Implications of Rare Brain Tumours'

Start date: May 29, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Patients diagnosed with oligodendroglioma with a specific molecular profile represent rare tumour groups (about 10% of adult gliomas) with relatively favourable prognosis (median survival between 8 and 12 years). These patients are often treated with surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. However, as patients live for a long period of time, they may also experience long-term toxic side-effects of treatment. The long-term consequences of treatment- and disease-related factors on quality of life and cognitive functioning of these patients are largely unknown. This study aims to investigate quality of life and cognitive functioning in long-term survivors of oligodendroglioma (with IDH mutation and 1p/19q codeletion). This knowledge can support health care professionals prepare patients for any long-term consequences of treatment.

NCT ID: NCT04653298 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Health Related Quality of Life

Health-related Quality of Life in Adults After Veno-arterial Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation Which is a Salvage Therapy Used in Patients With Severe Respiratory or Cardiac Failure Who Have Not Responded to Maximal Conventional Medical Therapy

Start date: December 21, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a salvage therapy used in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. This rescue technique is associated to a high mortality rate and to many complications that can impact the quality of life of the survivors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Health-related quality of life in adults after veino-arterial Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation. The quality of life will be evaluated thanks to several methods : the Short Form 36, the EQ 5D 5L and the return to work status. Then, the investigators will analyze by subgroup the quality of life according to the cardiogenic shock etiology and try to determine the risk factors of an altered quality of life. The investigators will also evaluate current comorbidities of the patient thanks to the Groll Index.

NCT ID: NCT04273867 Completed - Clinical trials for Interstitial Lung Disease

Assessing Health Related Quality of Life in Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

CHP-HRQOL
Start date: July 10, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The objective of this study is to administer and validate a disease specific health related quality of life (HRQOL) survey for patients with Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (CHP).

NCT ID: NCT04073862 Completed - Depressive Symptoms Clinical Trials

The Norwegian Stepped-Care TF-CBT Study

Start date: May 13, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Every day, a significant number of children and young people in Norway experience violence, abuse, or other potentially traumatizing events. These children are at risk of developing serious health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and drug dependency. Moreover, when left unaddressed, trauma experiences in childhood can have long-term implications for work- and educational participation as well as later subjection to violence. Provision of accessible and situationally adaptable treatments can therefore have great benefits for children, families, and communities at large. In this project, the investigators will introduce the method of Stepped-Care Trauma-Focused Behavioral Cognitive Therapy (SC-TF-CBT) in a selection of 15 municipalities across Norway. SC-TF-CBT is a parent-led - therapist-assisted low-threshold method aimed at treating children exposed to abuse, sexual assault, or other trauma and who are at risk of developing more severe trauma-related difficulties (Salloum, et al. 2014). This is the first test of the method outside the US. The project's main aim is therefore to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the treatment in a Norwegian context through a pre-post design. The following questions are to be explored: 1. How does the SC-TF-CBT model fit the Norwegian health care culture and service system? 2. When testing Stepped-Care in a Norwegian context, the model is set to involve both the municipal and specialist service levels. Severe cases will be stepped up/transferred to the specialist level for TF-CBT treatment. How do these transitions work for the participating families, and what are the experiences and perspectives of practitioners and service-leaders regarding coordination and collaboration between service levels? 3. Do the children, parents, and therapists like working with the method? 4. Do recipients of the treatment (children and parents) report symptom improvement? 5. Which children and parents seem to benefit the most from the method, and who do not?

NCT ID: NCT03858218 Completed - Clinical trials for Health-Related Quality Of Life

Validation of the Chinese Version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in Hong Kong Childhood Cancer Survivors

Start date: November 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cancer is one of the major causes of death in pediatric population. In Hong Kong, childhood cancer remains a significant concern in healthcare system because of its damaging impacts on adolescent's physical and psychological functions throughout their lifespan. Particularly, adolescents surviving cancer still have to bear the health burden of numerous sequelae, even their treatment is completed for months and even years. One of the most prevalent symptoms reported by patients surviving cancer is sleep disturbance. The causes of sleep disturbance are multifactorial. However, it can largely be attributed to disruption of circadian rhythm by prolonged use of medications and long-term hospitalization. Experiencing sleep disturbance can be devastating for survivors of cancer and precipitates inflammation and oxidative stress, which are known to be a contributing factor of neurocognitive impairment. Sleep disturbance can also lead to fatigue, which in turn limits patients' capacity in engaging in daily activities and even results in depression, severely compromising patients' quality of life in the long run. Having a reliable and valid instrument that can precisely assess the problem of sleep disturbance of cancer survivors is therefore crucial for the development and evaluation of the intervention. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is the most commonly and frequently used instrument to assess sleep disturbance. Because of differences in culture and language, some concepts or items in the English version may be inappropriate for adolescents living in Hong Kong. Moreover, the psychometrics of the PSQI has only been established in adolescents undergoing active treatment for cancer, when they experienced the most severe problem. It is therefore unclear whether the PSQI can also be used to assess sleep disturbance of adolescents who have completed cancer treatment. This lack of validated instruments precludes us from understanding the severity of the problem. Also, it hinders the development of appropriate interventions that promote sleep quality. This study aims to bridge the gap in existing literature by translating the PSQI from English into Chinese, and examining the psychometrics of the translated PSQI in Hong Kong Chinese childhood cancer survivors.
