Filter by:An open-label study to clinically assess a novel wearable advanced compression technology (Dayspring™) undertaken to determine if potential barriers to lymphedema self-care were effectively addressed. The Dayspring™ device is a novel FDA-cleared wearable solution that is portable and easy-to-use sequential compression system. The following endpoints are examined: 1. Improvement in QoL in subject with upper-extremity edema after 28 days as measured by the LYMQOL disease-specific validated assessment tool. 2. Arm volume maintenance or improvement as measured prior to and after 28 days of device use. 3. Safety as assessed by reported adverse events 4. Patient satisfaction as measured by visual analog scale (VAS) and survey at the end of the study; and 5. Adherence to therapy as measured with a smart phone app.
An intervention study on the effect of dietary guidance with focus on implementing recommended food texture, at the department of Eating and Swallowing difficulties, Region Midtjylland, Denmark. Energy- and protein intake, Weightloss, Bodymass composition, Fluid balance and Activities of Daily Living (ADL), will be measured by Bioimpedance spectroscopy, interviews and a questionnaire.
This study aims at evaluating the quality of life of patients with slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders who are dependant on mechanical ventilation (daily usage ≥ 16h).
The objective of this study is to determine the impact of a postoperative educational intervention program on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with hip fracture using a controlled clinical trial in a randomized, multicenter study. A total of 224 patients will be recruited, 102 patients from trauma units at the two University Hospitals of the province of Cáceres will receive the educational program, whereas 122 will not. Patients will consecutively included in either an intervention or a control group. Patients from the intervention group reill eceive an educational program during admission and the postoperative period. Patients from the control group will not receive any educational program. These patients will manage according to routine protocols.
As a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is assumed that the number of patients with COVID-19-related disabilities will increase significantly. Patients with mild, severe, and critical forms of the disease show long-term sequelae in different systems (respiratory, muscular, psychological, cognitive etc.). Persistent dyspnea is a frequently described symptom after the acute phase of the disease. Coupled with reduced oxygen saturation, an increased risk of developing lung fibrosis has been observed. Specialized rehabilitation medicine (e.g. pulmonary rehabilitation) might counteract these long-term consequences and therefore seems to be a promising approach to treat long-term COVID-19 consequences. Further, there is scarce evidence about COVID-19 specific rehabilitation contents. It was suggested to use treatment regimes in analogy to patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. There is evidence that pulmonary rehabilitation improves physical performance, quality of life and reduces anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other chronic respiratory diseases. Since impairments related to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis also play an important role in COVID-19, the aim of this study is to evaluate the short and medium-term effects of a standardized 3-week pulmonary rehabilitation program. The results will be analyzed within the two cohorts (mild/moderate and severe/critical COVID 19) as well as between the two cohorts for the primary outcome. Furthermore, the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation will be compared with a retrospective cohort of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an online Multi-component psychological intervention, that is focused on providing self-support to the Mexican population for the prevention of complicated grief disorder, by reducing grief and strengthening the capacities of the person to handle losses derived from COVID-19 as well as reducing the symptoms of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and post-traumatic stress, and increasing the quality of sleep and perception of the quality of life.
To analyze the effects of a high intensity interval functional training program (HIFT), in the cognitive and functional capacities of Colombian older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
The proposed study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross over study on 60 children aged 5 to 25 years with severe spasticity related to cerebral palsy (CP), level IV and V with full-spectrum medical cannabis product of CBD/THC ratio 10:1.
This study evaluates and rehabilitates the cognitive functions of attention, memory, visual perception, language, and executive by the mentalPlus® digital game of COVID-19 surviving patients after remission of symptoms.
The feasibility study for the delivery of the "Doing What Matters in Times of Stress: An Illustrated Guide" will be carried out for Turkish and Syrian individuals with psychological stress. This feasibility study's sample will be adult Turkish and the Syrian refugees. The informed consent form and screening questionnaire of the feasibility study will be sent to the participants who have given this approval and 128 (64 Turkish and 64 Syrian) participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the feasibility study. The psychological problems will be measured twice, before and after the intervention.
