Filter by:Sleeping medications, called hypnotics, are often prescribed for insomnia and are associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. Response rates to hypnotic discontinuation programs are often inadequate, and many patients eventually resume use of hypnotics, suggesting that other mechanisms need to be targeted to achieve and sustain high rates of non-use. Current programs focus on the tapering of hypnotics and/or the treatment of insomnia symptoms. These programs employ strategies such as supervised gradual taper, cognitive behavioral therapy targeting hypnotic withdrawal, and/or cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Evidence suggests that another mechanism involving "placebo" effects may be a viable target for achieving and sustaining higher discontinuation rates. Cognitive expectancies play a key role in producing placebo effects, which are characterized as real improvements in sleep arising from psychosocial aspects of treatment rather than drug effects alone. In this study, investigators are comparing two programs for discontinuing hypnotic medications-a program that addresses placebo effects associated with hypnotic use and a program that does not address these effects.
The aim of present study was to compare peri-implant marginal bone loss and soft tissues conditions around single Laser-Lok implants placed in alveolar
This is a non-pharmacological study evaluating the feasibility of a neurofeedback training program in elderly with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) according to recruitment, retention, attendance, acceptability data.
Compare Thai versions of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and the Hospiral Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), as a screening tool for depression in cancer pain patients
The objective of this study is to determine the average cost of stay of a patient supported by ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation from the point of view of the hospital facility, during the hospitalization in which the ECMO was implanted.
Study the consequences on heart muscle of the stenosis aortic valve before and after the replacement procedure, the repercussion on heart. Study the impact on the heart of "sick" valve can affect on "well-being" and prognosis in the year following the surgery.
Virtual-reality-based interactive treadmill system will be applied to the Parkinsons' disease patients who can walk (Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 to 4). Subjects will be randomly allocated to either VR-based treadmill training group or treadmill training without VR-based interaction. The training will be provided for 3 sessions (30min/session)/week for 4weeks, the total of 12 sessions. The outcomes will be measured at baseline, immediately after the completion of the intervention and 1 month after the intervention.
The interest of renal angioplasty in the nosological framework of atherosclerotic stenosis has been significantly challenged by STAR and ASTRAL clinical trials in 2009, confirmed by the CORAL study in 2014. These studies did not show any benefit of the gesture on renal function, morbidity and cardiovascular mortality or the tension control. The aim of the study is to evaluate renal angioplasty on atherosclerotic stenosis.
The proposed study examines whether providing patients with information on the incentives for following the preventative care guidelines available through their insurance has an impact on the update of these preventative services.
This study aims to identify differences and similarities between superficial pressure ulcers (category II and III) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (category IIA) at tissue level. Skin biopsies will be obtained from 30 patients with pressure ulcers (n = 10), incontinence-associated dermatitis (n = 10), and combined lesions (n = 10). The results from the histopathologic examination will be compared with the clinical diagnosis by wound care experts, which will be based on photographs and relevant patients' characteristics.
