NCT ID: NCT06408844 Enrolling by invitation - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

Examining the Impact of Behavior Change Intervention

Start date: October 7, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The health-related benefits of physical activity are well established for all age groups. It also has positive effects on memory, executive function and school performance in children and adolescents. However, it is known that 81% of individuals between the ages of 11-17 live a life that is not physically active enough. The World Health Organization recommends interventions to increase physical activity. In this study, 48 students from 5th, 6th and 7th grades will be selected from randomly selected secondary schools in Karaman central district and will be divided into experimental and control groups. In this randomized controlled study, behavior change intervention with the 5A model will be applied to the experimental group, and no intervention will be applied to the control group. Physical activity levels, physical and psychosocial health of children in both groups will be evaluated at the beginning of the intervention, at Week 8 and at Week 28. Physical activity diary, "Physical activity scale for 4-8 Grades" scale will be used to measure children's physical activity levels. For their physical health, body composition, strength, flexibility and functional capacity will be evaluated. Quality of life with the "Pediatric Quality of Life 4.0 Inventory" for psychosocial health; Cognitive functions will be evaluated with "CNS Vital Signs Cognitive Performance and Attention Tests". This study aims to evaluate the sustainability effect of the 5A intervention on physical activity and its impact on physical health and psychosocial health.

NCT ID: NCT06394882 Recruiting - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

FamCe-HLP- Family-centered Obesity Management Program in Primary Care Settings

Start date: September 18, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial aims to compare the adiposity and weight status among mother-child dyads with overweight or obesity who receive the Fam-Ce-HLP intervention with the mother-child dyads with overweight or obesity who did not receive the intervention. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a significant difference in the adiposity and weight status of mother-child dyads with overweight or obesity who received the Fam-Ce-HLP intervention compared with the mother-child dyads with overweight or obesity who did not receive the intervention? - Is there a significant difference in the health behaviors, obesity stage level, and ripple effect of mother-child dyads with overweight or obesity who received the Fam-Ce-HLP intervention compared with the mother-child dyads with overweight or obesity who did not receive the intervention? Participants will be asked to attend a seven-month program comprising two primary therapies: a three-month intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) and a four-month maintenance behavioral therapy (MBT). Researchers will compare the intervention group with the treatment-as-usual group (control group) to see if there is a difference in adiposity, weight status, health behaviors, obesity stage level, and ripple effect.

NCT ID: NCT06382441 Active, not recruiting - Behavior, Health Clinical Trials

A Tele-exercise Program for Breast Cancer Survivors

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The research protocol outlines a pilot study for a home-based and group-based tele-exercise program designed for breast cancer survivors. The study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) led by Dr. Yang Gao from Hong Kong Baptist University, with multiple other investigators from Kwong Wah Hospital and the university itself. Breast cancer is identified as the most prevalent cancer among women globally and in Hong Kong. The document states that adjuvant therapies post-surgery, such as radiation and chemotherapy, can have both short-term and long-term side effects, which may affect the survivors' physical and mental health. The study is based on evidence that physical activity levels often decrease after a breast cancer diagnosis and that exercise can mitigate the side effects of treatment, improving health and quality of life. The pilot aims to test the acceptability and feasibility of a 12-week tele-exercise program that combines psychological theories and behaviour change techniques, transitioning from supervised to unsupervised exercise to build sustainable exercise habits. The study will enrol 24 patients, randomly assigning them to an intervention group or an active control group. The intervention group will receive 12 online training sessions plus 4 psychological counselling sessions, whereas the control group will receive educational essays on exercise and health. The training sessions for the intervention group will include various exercises with increasing intensity and duration over the 4 weeks, monitored by a pulse oximeter to ensure exercises are done at the appropriate heart rate. The sessions will be led by qualified coaches, with Dr. Gao overseeing quality control.

NCT ID: NCT06264258 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

Game-based Pediatric Diabetes Education

DVx-T1D
Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a mobile app video game called Digital Vaccine for Type 1 Diabetes (DVx-T1D)™, proposed as a low-risk, non-invasive, digital therapeutic candidate for behavior change in children 6 to 12 years of age with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The investigators hypothesize that adoption of DVx-T1D™ by T1D patients will positively influence healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors by providing nutrition and lifestyle education through a playful, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based, cartoon-style medium of mobile gaming, and result in improvements in their T1D control. The investigators propose to conduct a longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) over a 3-month period with a study population of 80 T1D participants (40 each in two arms of the trial) of 6-12 years old. The investigators will quantify the impact of the mobile game app plus standard care vs. standard care (with no exposure to the app) on T1D control (assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin or HbA1c measured during clinic visits and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters measured at home), physical activity levels and food choices of children (measured using food logs and surveys). Game telemetry, food logs, clinical, anthropometric, demographic, and survey data will be collected to obtain adequately powered, theory-driven evidence of the value of game-based approaches delivered via mobile apps.

NCT ID: NCT06259318 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

Start date: June 21, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a pilot peer support intervention, entitled "Kanasina Gulabi" (Translation "My Dream Rose" in Kannada), designed to improve quality of life and diabetes management among young adults living with type 2 diabetes. The intervention, delivered by non-specialist providers - trained young adult peer navigators who are also managing type 2 diabetes - is expected to improve physical and mental health outcomes among participants. The sample includes young adults aged 18-40 with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in Mysore district, South India. Participants were quasi-randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. With the support of their peer navigators, intervention participants will develop action plans to improve their physical and mental health outcomes. This study plans to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT06242704 Not yet recruiting - Behavior, Health Clinical Trials

Train Your Brain 2.0 - Improving Memory and Decision Making Among Youth

Start date: May 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to deliver a computer-based working memory training program to improve delay discounting (DD) and prevent substance misuse among at-risk adolescents in a traditionally underserved area. Results from the study will inform future substance use prevention efforts targeted at youth exposed to adverse childhood experiences. Findings will also refine future models of intervention delivery in traditionally underserved communities. The main aims of the project are are: 1) To examine to examine changes in hypothesized mechanisms of substance use initiation and escalation, and 2) to assess whether changes in DD are a mechanism for reducing substance misuse during early adolescence. The investigators will evaluate whether changes in DD following active treatment predict substance use outcomes over the three-month follow-up period.

NCT ID: NCT06208345 Recruiting - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Early Life Intervention in Pediatrics Supported by E-health

ELIPSE-I
Start date: February 16, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Childhood obesity in early life contributes to the development of specific NCDs, i.e. adult obesity. Unhealthy diet and low level of physical activity are lifestyle risk behaviors associated with chronic, systemic inflammation, which promotes the pathogenesis of NCDs. Early preventive measures to improve lifestyle behavior are of utmost importance. The aim of ELIPSE-I is to assess whether an eHealth application intervention for parents is feasible and efficacious in lowering total energy intake/total energy expenditure (TEI/TEE) ratio in their children with BMI >97 centile (ELIPSE-I).

NCT ID: NCT06207084 Not yet recruiting - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

The Fit With Us Study

FITWITHUS
Start date: May 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this 32 week study is to use an innovative experimental design known as SMART (Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial), which will allow us to determine the best way to sequence the delivery of teleexercise (referred to as an adaptive intervention), combined with predictive analytics on participant adherence in a stepped program of physical activity interventions. All 257 participants will have access to a library of recorded video exercise content, and a weekly wellness article. Some participants will receive health coaching calls (1st randomization). Analytic data will be used to determine which participants are responding or not responding to the intervention. Participants not responding after 4 weeks will receive either live one on one or group exercise training (2nd randomization). After 8 weeks, the participant will receive only pre recorded exercise content and articles for another 8 weeks. After final surveys, participants will have open access to the website for another 16 weeks where we will passively observe their fitbit and website data. The study outcomes are: The effectiveness of the adaptive interventions Exploring mediating and moderating variables Sensitivity analysis of the predictive analytics

NCT ID: NCT06145919 Recruiting - Behavior, Health Clinical Trials

Parent-Child Memory Study: Improving Future Thinking Among Mothers

Start date: February 6, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Parents of children from impoverished communities are disproportionately more likely to engage in harsh physical discipline, which can lead to serious clinical outcomes, including suicidal ideation and attempts. One mechanism linking low resource environments and maladaptive parenting strategies is maternal delay discounting, or the tendency to value smaller, immediate rewards (such as stopping children's misbehavior via physical means) relative to larger, but delayed rewards (like improving the parent-child relationship). This study will examine the efficacy of implementing a low-cost, brief intervention targeting the reduction of maternal delay discounting to inform broader public health efforts aimed at improving adolescent mental health outcomes in traditionally underserved communities.
