NCT ID: NCT06251427 Enrolling by invitation - Nutrient Deficiency Clinical Trials

Assessing the Effectiveness of a Multiple-micronutrient Fortified Maize Pap on the Nutrient Status of Nigerian School-aged Children

Start date: February 6, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A new product was developed by FrieslandCampina for Sub-Saharan Africa as affordable nutrition to nourish Nigerian families of low to middle-socioeconomic class (SEC). It can potentially be used to enhance the ongoing school feeding programs, which are aimed at reducing malnutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies. The main component of the product is maize, which is a traditional staple in Nigeria. The product also contains milk (being a good source of high quality protein) fortified with various micronutrients including iron, iodine, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B12 at levels contributing to approximately 1/3 of daily recommended intakes per serving of product. Intake of this product may therefore contribute to improvement of micronutrient status among Nigerian schoolchildren suffering from such nutrient deficiencies. Micronutrients are important for various processes in the body, which in turn may influence other outcomes as cognitive performance, reduce illness and improve growth.

NCT ID: NCT06225791 Recruiting - Nutrient Deficiency Clinical Trials

Antenatal Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) in Indonesia

Start date: December 25, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this research is to understand how antenatal multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) can be effectively implemented and scaled within the Indonesian national health system context to support improved maternal nutrition and birth outcomes. Formative research has been conducted to design the implementation strategies that will be tested in this second phase of the study. The objectives are to: - Examine different MMS delivery strategies (i.e., packaging strategies and behavior change communication (BCC) strategies) in relation to MMS adherence. - Assess acceptability, feasibility, fidelity, and coverage of MMS program implementation within antenatal care services (ANC)

NCT ID: NCT06168136 Not yet recruiting - Nutrient Deficiency Clinical Trials

Effects of Medical High Protein Nutrition on the Muscle Mass in Adult ICU Patients

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

The use of ultrasound in clinical practice is feasible for monitoring muscle mass in critically ill patients. Assessment of muscle mass by ultrasound is clinically relevant and adds value for guiding therapeutic interventions, such as nutritional and physical therapy interventions to maintain muscle mass and promote recovery in critically ill patients.

NCT ID: NCT06156826 Recruiting - Pregnancy Related Clinical Trials

Prenatal Nutrient Status Study

Start date: November 7, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this research is to gather data on nutritional status from approximately 250 pregnant women who are currently taking a prenatal vitamin in order to better understand if the prenatal vitamins that most people use are providing enough nourishment during pregnancy. Participants will be asked to: - complete an online survey - schedule a blood draw for the Study Multivitamin Blood Test - complete the blood draw visit - complete a final survey at study end

NCT ID: NCT06046703 Not yet recruiting - Pregnancy Clinical Trials

Diet Quality of Pregnant Women With a Strict Plant-based Diet Versus an Omnivorous Diet

Start date: January 1, 2025
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to compare the nutritional intake among pregnant women with a strict plant-based diet versus an omnivorous diet. The main aim is to compare vitamin B12 intake. Participants will be asked to: - fill out a health questionnaire - fill out a three-day food diary - undergo blood sampling Researchers will compare pregnant women with a strict plant-based diet and pregnant women with an omnivorous diet to see if their nutritional intake is comparable.

NCT ID: NCT06025786 Recruiting - Anemia Clinical Trials

Impact Evaluation of Benazir Nashonuma Program (BNP) on Stunting Among Under-five Children

Start date: December 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of Benazir Nashonuma Program (BNP) on prevalence of stunting among under-five children in low income setting of Pakistan. The research question that the study aims to answer is: Is there any change in the prevalence of stunting among under-five children in districts where Benazir Nashonuma Program (BNP) is established compared to districts where BNP is not established? Districts where BNP is functional, and women and children are receiving the intervention will be compared at baseline and end line with control districts where conventional reproductive care services are given. Prevalence of stunting among under-five children will be compared along with other nutritional and growth status indicators over a period of 4 years.

NCT ID: NCT05865015 Completed - Body Weight Clinical Trials

Nutritional Status of Women Undergoing in Vitro Fertilization

Start date: January 5, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Infertility affects around 15 % of couples in their reproductive years. Even though the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in aforementioned couples is increasing, their success rate is still relatively low. Hence it is important to identify and better understand potential modifiable dietary and lifestyle risk factors that may influence the success of ART. This study will include women undergoing IVF with a view to investigating the relationship between preconception dietary patterns, body composition, physical activity level, serum values of vitamin B9, vitamin B12 and vitamin D and the outcomes of IVF, such as the number of obtained oocytes, fertilization rate and clinical pregnancy. Main hypothesis is that women undergoing IVF, who eat a balanced diet, maintain healthy body weight and have adequate serum levels of vitamin B9, vitamin B12 and vitamin D, have a higher chance of achieving better IVF outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05782257 Recruiting - Celiac Disease Clinical Trials

Zinc Deficiency Treatment in Celiac Disease: Supplementation Versus Diet

Start date: December 8, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Micronutrient deficiencies are common amongst celiac disease (CeD) patients due to consumption of a restrictive and nutritionally unbalanced gluten-free diet (GFD) in addition to slow intestinal villi healing. Preliminary data of 221 patients attending our Celiac Disease Clinic at McMaster University show that 64% of patients on a GFD have nutrient deficiencies with zinc (Zn) deficiency affecting 48% of treated CeD patients. Dietary supplements are prescribed to treat Zn deficiency and it is unclear whether Zn levels can be restored with optimizing Zn in diet. This project will evaluate the the feasibility of dietary therapy to treat Zn deficiency in CeD in comparison to supplementation. Additional objectives of this pilot study, are to assess the efficacy of Zn optimized GFD compared to Zn supplements in 1) normalizing plasma Zn levels and 2) improving CeD gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms at 3 and 6 month. Subjects will be recruited from McMaster Celiac clinic. This randomized controlled trial aims to recruit 50 CeD participants with two treatment groups; zinc optimized diet (guided by dietitian to achieve target of 11 mg/day for females and 14 mg /day for males) or zinc oral supplementation (25 mg zinc gluconate tablet/day; 7 mg elemental Zn) with a total study a total study period of 6 months and 4 visits. To be included in the study the investigators require celiac diagnosed patients confirmed through CeD serology and duodenal biopsies adhering to a GFD > 6 months and plasma Zn ≤9.3 µmol/L. Questionnaires will be used to assess presentation of symptoms, dietary adherence, quality of life, depression and anxiety. The trial would be considered to be feasible if the enrolment fraction (i.e., number of enrolled patients /number of eligible patients) is 60% or above.
