There are about 3465 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Singapore. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The goal of this study is to learn if a behavioral change intervention can improve physical activity in stroke survivors living in the community. The main question it aims to answer is, if a behaviour change intervention and personalised physical activity prescription, are effective in improving the time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity amongst chronic stroke survivors. Researchers will compare the intervention group to a control group, to see if physical activity counselling and a personalized physical activity prescription is more effective in improving moderate to vigorous physical activity, than usual care alone. The study period for each participant is 6 months. Assessments are conducted at month 1 (baseline), 3 and 6. The control group will receive only usual care, which consists of an information sheet on physical activity with the following content: (1) Why be active and (2) How to be active (with URL links to resources and videos). The usual care is delivered at 3-time points during month 1, 3 and 6. The intervention group will receive usual care and a behavioral change intervention. The behavioral change intervention consists of up to 6 individual physical activity counselling sessions and a personalized physical activity prescription. The 6 sessions will take place only during months 1 to 3 and there will be no intervention during months 4 to 6. Of the 6 sessions, 3 are conducted face-to-face and another 3 sessions will take place using telehealth methods such as phone, text messaging and videoconference. Participants can meet the study physiotherapist at their preferred exercise space during the 3 face-to-face sessions. The physical activity counselling sessions consist of goal setting and action planning, and problem-solving barriers around participation in physical activity. The overall aim is to increase time spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) in the working general population.
Adults with serious mental illnesses (such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders) often experience a range of cognitive difficulties (such as memory, problem solving difficulties) that affect their ability to lead meaningful life roles. Cognitive remediation is an intervention to address cognitive difficulties in this group of mental health service users. Its implementation in less well-resourced community-based settings is less well-studied. Therefore, the aims of the study are: - To investigate the effects of cognitive remediation on various cognitive skills (such as attention, memory, problem-solving, facial expression recognition, taking others' perspectives etc), for participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders in community mental health settings. - To investigate if factors such as participants' motivation for engagement and social interaction can affect changes in cognitive skills and functional ability. Participants in the treatment group will attend computer-based cognitive exercises to improve their cognitive skills. They will also participate in group sessions facilitated by therapists to learn how to utilize strategies learned from the computer sessions in their daily lives. Participants in the control group will attend the usual rehabilitation activities in their respective community-based psychiatric rehabilitation centers. This research study will compare the differences in their cognitive performance, functional ability and recovery immediately after the intervention and 8 weeks later.
The Singapore Youth Shoulder Overuse Injury Prevention Program (YoSO-IPP) includes an exercise segment and an education segment. This study will (1) assess the effects of the exercise segment, and (2) assess the effects of the education segment among youth volleyball athletes using a randomized controlled trial over 12 weeks. Performance outcome measures of shoulder eccentric external rotation strength, shoulder internal rotation range of motion, and thoracic rotation range of motion will be used to assess the effects of the exercise segment. Knowledge scores via an online questionnaire will be used to assess the effects of the education segment. Hypothesis: The YoSO-IPP will have an effect on shoulder eccentric external rotation strength, shoulder internal rotation range of motion, and thoracic rotation range of motion and on knowledge scores.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, cosmetic acceptability and improvement of the stigmatization of the tested product (2039125 03) used bis in die (BID) for 3 months in adult patients suffering from mild to moderate melasma, or mild to moderate acne induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or solar lentigo.
There is evidence for the effectiveness and feasibility of the individual components of TIER-HF-PC, however there is a need to test how these individual components interact to allow the researchers to deliver TIER-HF-PC as a model of care in its totality. In the short term, this study will assess if TIER-HF-PC is beneficial for patients and caregivers.
Inpatient delirium incidence is widely documented in international and local studies, however, there is no viable and labour-free delirium detection and management tool. CURATE.DTx is our tablet ready, multi-tasking serious game, that leverage a small data artificial intelligence-derived platform that can dynamically personalise cognitive training by modifying the game intensity. The main aims of this study are to explore the feasibility and usability of this new digital tool to aid in the delirium screening and management of at-risk delirium hospitalized patients.
The aim of study is to investigate a newly developed AI smartphone application's feasibility, usefulness in improving users' experience, effect on adherence, UL use and recovery after stroke. The study is a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the implementation of AMPLIFY, a self-directed UL programme for people with stroke in two modes of delivery- hardcopy manual versus the mobile application. Eighty people with stroke within 4 weeks of stroke will be randomly allocated to either the experimental group (smartphone app) or control group (hardcopy manual) to undergone four weeks of AMPLIFY program. To compare the clinical effects of delivery AMPLIFY program via smartphone app versus hardcopy manual, assessments will be done at three time points- pre-intervention, post-intervention and three months post-intervention.
Balance and gait recovery is a critical aspect of post-stroke motor rehabilitation. Researchers have effectively utilized EEG to investigate different aspects of lower limb motor control, however there are several technical challenges in the existing brain computer interface (BCI) motor profiling. The study aims to test the EEG-BCI system to see if it's effective in understanding the balance and walking patterns of post-stroke populations.
