Filter by:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the 15 weeks Chan-Chuang qigong program with breathing meditation on quality of life and interoceptive awareness in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy.
The aim of this clinical study to evaluate the effect of temporomandibular joint dysfunction accompanying patients with chronic migraine on pain, quality of life, sleep and functionality.
A multi-center double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial. The patients will be randomized into two groups. To investigate the efficacy of SNM to improve the key bladder diary variables compared to placebo (i.e. sham) for patients with MS having refractory neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). After first step SNM-procedure and a 3-4 weeks test period patients with more than 50% improvement in the key bladder diary variables will have the IPG implanted. After a month of optimization patients will into two groups: IPG ON or IPG OFF. Period of randomization: four months. Number anticipated to be included: 60 patients
Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) allows knowing the subject's feelings in terms of distress and well-being, as well as her perception of her current and future health. Objective: Evaluate the associations between health-related quality of life, physical state, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in a cohort of Spanish children and adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a cohort of 305 (47.2% women) children and adolescents aged between 8 and 16 years, in the Primary and Secondary Schools of the province of Ávila (Spain). For the analysis of the different variables, the subjects were classified according to their quality of life in three groups from highest to lowest (Group 1 > Group 2 > Group 3).
The purpose of this study is to test an intervention to improve health promoting behaviors in family caregivers of patients receiving cancer therapy
Aim of this prospective, interventional, single-center, randomized study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intermittent hypoxic-hyperoxic training (IHHT) as a rehabilitation method in patients with cardiovascular pathology in the early period after coronavirus infection. The study will include 60 patients with cardiovascular pathology who underwent confirmed by laboratory tests COVID-19 infection 1-3 months ago with the degree of lung lesion CT3, CT4, who were admitted to the University Clinical Hospital No. 4 of I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. The patients will be divided into 2 groups (intervention and control groups). Intervention group will inhale hypoxic gas mixtures (10-12% O2) followed by exposure to a hyperoxic gas mixture with 30-35% O2 5 times a week for 3 weeks, while control group will undergo a simulated IHHT. All the patients will undergo identical laboratory and instrumental testing before IHHT, after the last IHHT procedure, in a month after the last IHHT procedure and in 6 months. Estimated result of the study is to confirm or refute the hypothesis of the study that a three-week course of IHHT in patients with cardiovascular pathology in the early period after coronavirus infection can improve exercise tolerance, as well as the quality of life and psychoemotional status, and affect the dynamics of laboratory and instrumental parameters.
The social distancing requirements for COVID-19 coupled with the adverse health impacts of social isolation and decreased access to healthcare in rural areas places older adults with disabilities in a dire situation. The smart sensor system to be deployed and studied in this project aims to reduce disability for rural community-dwelling older adults and improve health-related quality of life, including depression and anxiety. An implementation guide will be developed to increase success of future scale-up evaluations.
This multicentre study will be conduct in several Portuguese institutions, which provide care and supporting services for older adults, with aim to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the cognitive, emotional and social status of their beneficiaries. Initially, data on global cognitive function, executive function, mood, anxiety, loneliness, and quality of life will be collected. Secondly, a semi-structured interview will be carried out to realize and understand what were the major difficulties experienced by the older adult during the pandemic period.
Rationale: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, diagnosed between 18-39 years, much more than children, suffer from delay in diagnosis, lack of centralization of care, age-adjusted expertise and follow-up care. The distribution of tumor types, biology, risk factors, developmental challenges and treatment regimens are different in AYAs compared to children. Therefore findings derived from childhood cancer survivors cannot be extrapolated to AYAs. Likewise, several large tumor-specific cohort studies exist that do not specifically address unique AYA age-specific issues. Globally, so far, the identification of AYA patient subgroups that might be more susceptible to poor health outcomes has not been systematically addressed. The role of sociodemographic and treatment-associated risks, external exposures (e.g. lifestyle) and host factors (e.g. genetic); or combinations of influences for impaired (age-specific) health outcomes, remains largely unknown. Understanding who is at risk and why, will support the development of evidence-based AYA prevention, treatment and supportive care programs and guidelines. Objective: To examine the prevalence, risk factors and mechanisms of impaired health outcomes (health-related quality of life and late effects) among a population-based sample of AYA cancer survivors. Study design: Retrospective, population-based, observational cohort study. Study population: AYA cancer survivors, diagnosed at age 18-39 years between 1999-2015, identified from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR), and alive 5-20 year after diagnosis Main study parameters/endpoints: Health-related quality of life; late effects
The aim of this study to evaluate the relationship of neuropathic pain with urinary and bowel incontinence, functional disability and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.
