Filter by:This will be a behavioural intervention with no investigational medicinal product. The intervention will be a mobile messaging service that sends short messaging service (SMS) as texts or graphics to people with epilepsy to remind them to take their medication and to refill their prescription and educational messages to share important messages tackling stigma and tips to improve quality of life. The investigators will also engage peripheral health facilities where people with epilepsy (PWE) participating in the study go for ASM refills, in collaboration with the respective county departments of health, to maintain adequate supply of anti-seizure medications through: i. ongoing capacity building studies in Kilifi such as the mental health Gap Action Programme-Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) training which is empowering primary healthcare providers at peripheral health facilities to identify and manage epilepsy and other mental health disorders. ii. supporting healthcare providers at peripheral facilities through in person visits, if the COVID-19 situation, permits or by telephone or standard message reminders to restock their ASM supply. The participants in the no-intervention group will receive "placebo" health messages not related to epilepsy such as use of bednets. The SMS reminders will be sent at a frequency that will be agreed upon during pre-study engagements with potential participants, whether daily, weekly, or monthly. The participants will be able to respond to these texts to report on their health status and any adverse events. To evaluate whether SMS reminders improve adherence, we will use: i. Self-reporting adherence scales- the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) ii. Measurement of ASM plasma levels at 12 months from baseline.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a peer-led, brief, behavioral intervention to improve adherence to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among low-income, minority individuals living with opioid use disorder (OUD) in Baltimore, Maryland. The intervention is based on behavioral activation (BA) and is specifically designed to be implemented by a trained peer recovery specialist. In this Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial (RCT), we will evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of Peer Activate vs. treatment as usual (TAU) over six months.
The aim of the study is to assess the improvement of health in patients affected by CKD when they are exposed to non-pharmacological treatment strategies as nutritional program (NP), physical activity program (PA) and mindfulness program (MP), when they are conveyed to the patient by means of digital technologies or not. In the present study, non-pharmacological interventions conveyed by a digital technology (investigational arm) will be compared to a standard, paper-based approach (control arm).
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), with its core symptoms of communication and repetitive behaviors, is a serious neurodevelopmental disorder common in childhood and affects about 1% of children. So far, autism remains a clinical dilemma with no effective therapy. The most common chromsomal ability among ASD patients is 15q11-13q duplication syndrome(dup15q syndrome).Clinical phenotypes of dup15q syndrome include autism, mental retardation, epilepsy (usually refractory epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasm), congenital heart disease, mild facial abnormalities, etc. UBE3A is one of the most important genes in the 15q11-q13 region.Biochemistry and molecular biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Hu Ronggui group found a new kind of autism in mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets - describe the ubiquitin ligase UBE3A protein and retinoic acid.Previous studies have shown that the basis of the relevant treatment measures can effectively relieve the mouse model of autism characteristics. Therefore, retinoic acid supplementation in the treatment of dup15q syndrome is a potential therapeutic target.
It is essential to improve clinical efficiency and management of hematological and oncological patients treated on an outpatient basis. The most promising operative way to achieve this result is the development of tele-oncology platforms, that allow not only a telemedicine visit, but also the patient support in the daily management of the disease and related disorders, as well as treatments and their complications. In this perspective, the RITA communication platform should be able to support the patient, the caregiver, the physician and the general practitioner in the management of the disease and its treatments.
To compare the effect of two control intervals (once every 4th week or once every 6th week) on the wear time of a Twin Block removable appliance.
The use of a home rapid test for the detection of gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) in urine of treated adolescent patients with celiac disease (CD) could facilitate the adherence to the gluten-free diet (GFD) and contribute to symptoms control and quality of life improvement. This single centre, randomized, unblinded, controlled study consists of 4 run-in weeks period followed by 8-weeks study period in which patients will be randomized to intervention group (home urine GIP testing) or the control group (no home urine GIP testing). The 12-week study will involve surveys, home stool and urine collection, home urine GIP test performance, and two study visits with the gastroenterologists. The main outcome is to determine whether the self-monitoring of the GFD with GIP testing in urine improves adherence to the GFD in treated adolescent patients with CD (measured by CDAT-Celiac Dietary Adherence Test, GFD adherence evaluation by gastroenterologist and rates of gluten exposure in urine and/or stool measured at a central laboratory) and subsequently improves quality of life (CDDUX-Coeliac Disease Dutch Questionnaire) and reduces symptoms (CSI-Celiac Symptoms Index questionnaire).
The research team want to investigate whether digital support, an app under preventive hormonal breast cancer treatment can lead to less late side effects, better quality of life and increased adherence to treatment.
The investigators will conduct a pilot study of a community-based intervention designed to improve outcomes among adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) transitioning to adult HIV care in Lima, Peru. The investigators will enroll adolescents transitioning to adult HIV care, either due to a recent diagnosis or having aged out of their pediatric clinic. ALWH previously lost from care during the transition process will also be invited to participate. The nine-month intervention will consist of (1) logistical, adherence and social support delivered by entry-level health workers who will accompany adolescents during their transition to adult HIV care and (2) group sessions to improve health-related knowledge, skills, and social support. The investigators will assess intervention feasibility and effectiveness in improving medication adherence, psycho-social outcomes, and transition readiness after 6, 9, and 12 months.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on self-management of treatment regimen, medication adherence, and patient outcomes in adult kidney transplant recipients between 3 months and 6 months after kidney transplant in the transplant outpatient clinic. Design: The research is a single-centered, single-blind, parallel and 1:1 randomized active comparative experimental study. Method: A total of 80 individuals, of the 40 in the control group and 40 in the intervention group, will be included in the study. Motivational interview sessions for the intervention group will be held 3 times between 15-30 minutes with an interval of 10 days. The control group will be given routine care (approximately 1 hour of face-to-face standard training) by the nurse educator. Within the research pattern, intervention and control groups will be applied pre-test at the first interview and post test after one month. In addition, follow-up test will be performed 3th month. The data will be obtained using the Self-Management Scale in Kidney Transplant Recipients, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for self-care and VAS for medication adherence. In the study, Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials- SPIRIT(2013) and CONSORT 2010 (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) were used.
