Filter by:This study is to analyse the efficacy of LD-RT for treatment of Severe-Acute-Respiratory-Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).
This aim of this study is to evaluate the acute and mid-term effects of A2 milk versus conventional milk on gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with constipation-predominant IBS and in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS. Moreover, the effect of immune and defense markers will be studied.
Complex regional pain syndrome, CRPS, is an uncommon but often very disabling chronic pain syndrome characterized by, beside pain: sensory disturbances, peripheral autonomic changes and inflammatory features. The diagnosis is subdivided in CRPS type 1 where no nerve injury has been identified, and CRPS type 2 when a major nerve injury has been verified. A combination of exposure in vivo, a form of behaviour therapy where the patient is gradually confronted with avoided movements and activities, and interventions directly targeting a hypothesized cortical reorganisation is an interesting novel approach for treating CRPS. The present study consists of (1) a qualitative interview study with 10-15 subjects that has received this form of treatment, in order to better understand their experience and effects of the treatment, and (2) a case series with long-term follow-up of 3-5 subjects that received the treatment för 5-8 years ago, in order to study the long term effects of the treatment.
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, also known as dry eye syndrome, is one of the most common ophthalmological diseases and is treated with tear substitutes to moisten the surface of the eye and, in more severe cases of this disease, with local anti-inflammatory therapy with corticosteroids or ciclosporin A. In patients with rheumatological diseases, such as Sjögren's syndrome, dry eye syndrome of severe extent occurs particularly frequently, which is why topical anti-inflammatory therapy is often necessary in these patients. Aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment of severe dry eye syndrome with topical cyclosporin eyedrops with and without topical corticosteroids at the beginning of the treatment.
Adults aged over 18 years, with the diagnosis of Prader-willi syndrome will be recruited through the hospital's outpatient clinic for either as intervention group receiving therapeutic elastic band training, or as control group receiving usual care for a total of 16 weeks. Body composition, physical capacity, and serum changes will be assessed before and after the intervention.
Rationale: Improving dietary behaviours in view of optimising risk factors of metabolic syndrome requires behaviour change strategies. Tailored dietary advice, i.e. recommendations offered as a guide to action, can support behaviour change. In the current study we aim to learn how to better help consumers in their daily life to make lifestyle choices that better match their personal health target than their usual choices by providing personalised advice and feedback. In this study we target consumers at risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) that are highly motivated to change their dietary behaviour in view of improving health. Objective: The primary objective is to investigate the potential of personalised dietary advice and feedback for initiating and maintaining dietary changes by consumers at risk of MetS. In addition we want to evaluate understanding, applicability and personal benefit of personalised dietary advice and feedback by the target population to be able to further optimize the personalisation in future studies. The secondary objective is to explore potential effects of personalised dietary advice and feedback on subjective health and metabolic health parameters. Study design: The study follows a one group pre-test post-test design with a duration of 16 weeks after the first advice is provided to the participants. Study population: In total 40 adult men and women at risk of metabolic syndrome will be recruited from the consumer databases of Wageningen Food & Biobased Research. Consumers are eligible for study participation when they are highly motivated to change dietary behaviour, willing to use technology, willing to share food purchase data as registered on a customer card of the supermarket, and in possession of a smart-phone. Intervention: The intervention consists of personalised dietary advice and feedback on actual behaviour and health status that will be provided to study participants at set time points throughout the study period. The content of the advice will be generated partly automated based on dietary intake and parameters of metabolic health using knowledge rules that are developed for this study. During a consultation with the dietician, the advice is then translated in a dietary behaviour change strategy by taking into account individual preferences through motivational interviewing. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcomes of the study are the adequacy of intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, dairy, fish, fats & oils, red meat, processed meat, and sweetened beverages & fruit juices as estimated by the online tool Eetscore. Furthermore consumer experiences and individual benefits of the provided personalised dietary advice are monitored on a weekly basis throughout the intervention period.
The investigators are conducting a double-blinded randomized controlled trial to determine whether a probiotic mixture is effective in reducing PCOS-related symptoms. For this purpose, 180 participants will be recruited in three intervention arms (Probiotic, Placebo and Metformin), with 60 participants per arm. The intervention period will last 6 months, with extensive medical history, blood work, urine and stool analysis at the beginning and the conclusion of the trial.
The main objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of the VIRTUAL SFCAMINA multicomponent treatment program as coadjuvant of treatmentas- usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone. In this Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), in addition to evaluating the clinical effects of VIRTUAL SFCAMINA treatment in the short- and long term.
The clinical trial is planned to investigate the efficacy and safety of acetylated natural nucleotides in treating anti-cancer medications induced hand-foot syndrome (HFS).
The POSITIVE platform offers the possibility of unsupervised monitoring of pre-frailty and frailty status in a community setting, to detect the onset of frailty and to assess its evolution. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether the POSITIVE system improves frailty in at least 1 point in the Fried's Criteria and 5 points in the FTS-5. This is a multi-centre, non-inferiority, randomized, simple blind and prospective pilot study with a 12-month follow up duration. The study will be carried out in Spain, Sweden and Poland. 150 participants will be randomized into two groups. The control group will receive usual medical care. The intervention group will receive, in addition, the POSITIVE frailty home monitoring and intervention system.
