NCT ID: NCT05811767 Completed - Clinical trials for Occupational Exposure

The Esbjerg Cohort - A Cross-sectional Study About Work Ability and Musculoskeletal Pain in 55 to 70 Years Old Workers

Start date: November 14, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The overall aim of this study is to investigate how work with physical demands affects the physical capacity, work ability, labor market affiliation, pain and self-reported health in the oldest group of workers. Following research questions are to be answered: 1. How high physical work demands affects muscle strength in 55-70-year-old workers and how obesity in combination with high physical work exposure influences muscle strength, work ability, cardiac function, and self-reported health? 2. Which parameters are important for work ability and how does the exposure of high physical workload affect the work ability over time in 55-70-year-old workers? 3. By exploring the underlying mechanism of pain among 55+ year old workers, how is pain associated with work ability, BMI and physical capacity?

NCT ID: NCT03904160 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Web-based Personal or Peer Group Weight Management Study

PERGROUP
Start date: January 4, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The PERGROUP trial aims to investigate whether Web-based personal or Web-based group counselling weight management program can help to achieve lifestyle changes needed for weight loss and improvement in quality of life and cardiovascular risk factors. The control group is the traditional nurse-lead weight management group counselling.

NCT ID: NCT03501147 Completed - Clinical trials for Musculoskeletal Pain

The Effect of a Resistance Training Program in Healthcare Workers on Pain, Workability and Physical Function.

Start date: April 17, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The prevalence and consequences of musculoskeletal pain is considerable among healthcare workers, allegedly due to high physical work demands of healthcare work. Performing physical exercise at the workplace together with colleagues may be more motivating for some employees and thus increase adherence. On the other hand, physical exercise performed during working hours at the workplace may be costly for the employers in terms of time spend. Thus, it seems relevant to perform a brief intervention. This study is intended to investigate the difference between the effect of workplace-based physical exercise (using elastic bands and body weight exercises) and a group control on musculoskeletal pain, physical exertion during work, physical function, need for recovery, self-rated use of analgesics, and work ability among healthcare workers.

NCT ID: NCT02668887 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Employment and Quality of Life in Patients With Malignant Melanoma

Start date: April 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Within the first year after diagnosis, data on employment and quality of life will be collected and evaluated in patients with malignant melanoma

NCT ID: NCT02173132 Completed - Work Ability Clinical Trials

Acetyl-L-Carnitine Reduces Perceived Work Stress and Improves Work Ability and Work Performance in Hepatic Encephalopathy

Start date: April 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluated the effects of acetyl-L-carnitine treatment on Perceived Work Stress, Work Ability and Work Performance in subjects with Hepatic Encephalopathy.

NCT ID: NCT01999205 Completed - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

Moving To Business: Promoting Physical Activity and Reducing Sedentary Behavior in Office-based Companies in Finland

MTB
Start date: November 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The participants are twelve small or middle-sized companies. Baseline information about the company's practices and employees' physical activity is collected in November 2013 with questionnaires and accelerometers. A team is nominated in each company to develop company's practices in relation to promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior among employees. The teams are supported with materials and meetings and the opportunity to obtain physical activity services from the regional offices of the Finnish Sports Confederation. The development process is carried out in Fall 2013 and the actions to promote physical activity and to reduce sedentary behavior are implemented in the companies during spring and fall 2014. The follow-up evaluation with the same measures as at baseline will be conducted in November 2014 and depending on financing possibly also in November to assess the maintenance of the actions.

NCT ID: NCT01957319 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

Silybin Supplementation During HCV Therapy With Pegylated Interferon-α2b Plus Ribavirin Reduces Depression and Increases Work Ability

Start date: February 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Background: Hepatitis C virus infection and interferon treatment have shown to be risk factors for depression, distressing, psychosocial burden and poor health-related quality of life. Aim: To determine the effect of a Sylibin-vitamin E-phoshpolipids complex on work ability and whether health related factors (anxiety and depression) were associated with work ability in subjects with chronic hepatitis C treated with Peg-IFN-α and RBV. Patients and Methods: In this prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double blind clinical trial, 31 subjects (Group A) with chronic hepatitis, received Pegylated-Interferon-α2b (1.5 mg/kg per week) plus Ribavirin and placebo, while 31 subjects (Group B) received the same dosage of Pegylated-Interferon-α2b plus Ribavirin plus association of Silybin 94 mg + vitamin E 90 mg + phospholipids 194 mg in one pill for 12 months. All subjects underwent laboratory exams and questionnaires to evaluate depression (Beck Depression Inventory - BDI), anxiety (State-trait anxiety inventory - STAI) and work ability (Work ability Index - WAI).

FINALE-Health
Start date: November 2009
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a 1 year worksite based life-style intervention can reduce body weight and increase physical capacity and subsequently reduce musculoskeletal disorders and increase workability in overweight health care workers.
