Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of CBT-NC intervention to determine its impact on mental health and suicidality in children ages 6-17. The main aims are: Aim 1: Examine CBT-NC efficacy for improving nightmare distress and frequency in youth with chronic nightmares by comparing the treatment and waitlist group. Aim 2: Examine whether improvements in nightmares relate to fewer mental health problems for youth by determining by comparing the treatment and waitlist group.
The primary objective is to measure levels of selected PEG 3350 components and metabolites in the blood and urine of children who are already taking PEG 3350 compared to children who are not taking PEG 3350. Changes to medical therapy are not recommended as part of this study.
To determine the efficacy of inhaled isopropyl alcohol in treating nausea/vomiting among pediatric patients compared with the conventional ondansetron, or placebo treatment in a tertiary care pediatric emergency department.
Main objective : Evaluate the effect of using a virtual reality mask during the blood test and pricks tests in allergic children aged from 7 to 13 years. Hypothesis : Using virtual reality mask during blood test and pricks tests for allergic kids from 7 to 13 would reduce anxiety and pain
COVID-19 vaccine response data in children 5 to 11 years old remain scarce. Our understanding of the safety and immune responses including humoral and cellular responses generated in children remains limited. Safety of the vaccine is critical in the risk benefit assessment of vaccination in young children. Available data show a trend for increased risk of myocarditis after second dose, especially in males and younger age groups. It is unknown if reduced antigen dose will alter this risk in 5y to <12y age group. Reassuringly, data from early roll-out in the USA have not reported any safety signals to date. Alternate (reduce dosing or delayed dosing) strategies could help ensure maximum protection with reduced risk of side-effects. There is currently no data available to inform how long protection would last in the reduced dose or delayed dosing strategy. The trial will inform the potential use of alternate dosing schedules such as single dose or delayed dose to minimise risk and maximise benefit of COVID-19 vaccination in children 5 to 11 years old.
Becoming a parent is a life-changing event that can be both gratifying and stressful. As a parent, one is responsible for another person, where there sometimes is a need for new information, knowledge, and advice to live up to the new requirements that a changing family situation requires. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a new digital channel in child health care for support of parents in child health care issues with particular focus on eHealth literacy and satisfaction with care. An intervention is planned to run over eight months and will be evaluated in an intervention- and control group (from another health care centre) at baseline, 4 months and at 8 months follow-up. Data includes interviews and questionnaires about parental stress and eHealth literacy as well as satisfaction with care. Data will be analysed with qualitative and statistical methods. Expected outcomes is reduced parental stress and increased satisfaction with child health care.
The baseline infusion rate during surgery for pediatric patients still is the 'Holliday and Segar' rule (also known as the 4/2/1 rule) The question arises if this rule is not outdated, since it was calculated based on the caloric need of the pediatric population, calculated for cow milk. The study tends to validate the use of bio impedance measurements for registering fluid shifts in the pediatric surgical patients.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of toy-type nebulizers on fear and anxiety in children receiving inhaler therapy. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the the control group in the mean score of the "Child Fear Scale" and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" during and after the inhaler treatment with a toy-type nebulizer. H1: During and after the s inhaler treatment with the toy-type nebulizer, the mean score of the "Child Fear Scale" and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" is significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group.
Aims: To investigate early markers of arterial stiffness and nerve dysfunction and the association to an extended glucose metabolic profile comprising glucose control (current and past), glucose variability and insulin sensitivity in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Background: Most Danish children and adolescents with T1D do not achieve their metabolic target and are at increased risk of developing long-term diabetic complications, reducing their life expectancy and increase their morbidity rate. Hence, improved metabolic control, a better understanding of what optimal metabolic control means, combined with detailed monitoring of the first markers of long-term complications and their reversibility or lack thereof are needed. Methods: A prospectivel study of 400 children, aged 6-18 years old, with T1D>12 months. Early markers of long-term diabetic complications will be investigated as arterial stiffness, nerve dysfunction and nephropathy. Data on T1D onset, duration, treatment modality, self-monitoring-blood-glucose profiles, growth, weight, and pubertal status will be collected. Blood sampling will include routine tests and markers of glucose, lipid, bone, and gastrointestinal metabolism. DXA-scan, Fibroscan, bone-age, eye-examination and physical activity will be measured. Data on retrospective glucose- and lipid-profiles will be collected. The children will be offered a followup every 5 years for the next two decades. Perspectives: This study provides novel insight into the frequency of early markers of long-term diabetic complications and its association to the interplay of the pancreas, adipose, gastrointestinal and bone metabolic axis. Which can assist in identifying subgroups of children and adolescents requiring earlier in-depth screening for early markers of long-term diabetic complications, for putative interventions for prevention, hence reducing morbidity and mortality in T1D.
The objective of this project is to evaluate the capability of a specific mobile electrocardiogram monitoring of detecting arrhythmic events in children with history of palpitation and or syncope. We will compare this approach with the standard approach of clinical follow-up plus 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring in terms of acceptability and ability to identify significant arrhythmias.
