NCT ID: NCT06376656 Recruiting - Aging Clinical Trials

Successful Aging and Age-related Decline

MyAgeWell
Start date: May 20, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Recent studies have shown promising cognitive and physical interventions aimed at slowing down ageing-related declines in quality of life, but they lack strong ecological validity (brief durations, unrealistic goals, no real-world application) and has yet to show robust evidence that such interventions are stable and suitable in the long-term. The investigators aim to examine whether these interventions can, over four years, significantly slow down the normal rate of ageing-related decline.

NCT ID: NCT06302101 Recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

Telerehabilitation Exercise in Older Adults

Start date: February 21, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of chair-based exercises and cognitive exercises through synchronous telerehabilitation in older adults. Older adults will be divided into two groups (intervention group n=16; control group n=16) .

NCT ID: NCT06237504 Recruiting - Elderly Clinical Trials

The Clinical Efficacy of the Video Laryngeal Mask (SaCoVLM™) in Geriatric Patients: A Comparison With a Conventional Supraglottic Airway Device (Ambu®Auragain™)

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

This study aims to investigate whether the use of a video LMA device (SacoVLM™) will facilitate successful supraglottic airway device (SAD) insertion compared to the use of a conventional 2nd generation SAD (Ambu®Auragain™) in elderly patients. This study is a randomized trail with a 50% probability of being assigned to either group. Randomization will be done by an anesthesiologist not involved in anesthesia or postoperative outcome assessment. Patients and the investigator in charge of postoperative outcomes assessment will be blinded to group allocation.

NCT ID: NCT06150079 Recruiting - Elderly Clinical Trials

Individualized PEEP Titration on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications

Start date: November 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of implementing a personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) management strategy guided by esophageal pressure (Pes), as well as its potential to reduce the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

NCT ID: NCT06030804 Recruiting - Elderly Clinical Trials

Perioperative Dexmedetomidine and Long-term Survival After Cancer Surgery

Start date: September 12, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Along with aging population, cancer incidence and mortality are increasing. However, despite advances in oncology and surgery, long-term survival of cancer patients is far from optimal. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Studies showed that perioperative use of dexmedetomidine reduces delirium and some non-delirium complications after surgery. In long-term follow-up studies of older patients who, for other reasons, were randomized to receive either dexmedetomidine or placebo during intra- or postoperative period, dexmedetomidine use was associated with improved long-term survival. This multicenter randomized trial aims to investigate the effect of perioperative dexmedetomidine on long-term outcomes in older patients undergoing cancer surgery.

NCT ID: NCT06001359 Recruiting - Elderly Clinical Trials

Functional Limitation, Pain and Quality of Life in Patients With Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy

Start date: December 27, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Radiculopathy is a neurological condition in which transmission along a spinal nerve and its roots is limited or inhibited. It is most caused by spondylotic changes such as cervical disc herniation leading to nerve root compression, inflammatory changes, and the formation of bony prominences in this region [1]. Pain is the initial symptom and cervical radiculopathy should be suspected when pain radiates from the neck to the shoulder and arm, accompanied by sensory complaints and motor weakness. It is most commonly caused by spondylotic changes, such as cervical disc herniation and bony prominences in this area, leading to nerve root compression and inflammatory changes. Stenotic changes in the spine, which are often observed with aging, can cause nerve damage and compression in individuals, causing radicular pain. However, there is insufficient study in which the relationship between pain caused by cervical spondylotic radiculopathy caused by stenosis and functional disability, disability and quality of life due to radiculopathy in patients is insufficient. In addition, the lack of a comprehensive outcome scale that evaluates the functional limitation caused by radicular pain has also led to a deficiency in the evaluation of functional limitation. In this context, CRES is a newly developed scale used to evaluate functional limitation associated with radicular pain. In this context, in this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between pain, functional disability, disability and quality of life in patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.

NCT ID: NCT05917353 Recruiting - Elderly Clinical Trials

A Randomized Control Trial of Hinex Jelly on the Changes in Muscle Quality and Quantity

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

Taiwan is about to enter a super-aged society in 2025. The health problems of the elderly are getting more and more attention. Among these geriatric issues, sarcopenia is an important issue. Sarcopenia is the culprit of disability in old age. It is characterized by persistent and general loss of skeletal muscle mass and function throughout the body, which may lead to disability, decreased quality of life, and even inability to take care of yourself and an increased risk of death. Human skeletal muscle decreases with age. After the age of 40, muscle mass will be lost at a rate of 8% per decade; after the age of 70, it will be lost at a faster rate of 15% per decade in average. Although all elderly will lose muscle mass due to aging, the degree and speed of loss vary from person to person. In addition to aging, it may also be caused by chronic diseases. Exercise intervention and nutritional intervention are the first choices for sarcopenia intervention. Regarding nutritional requirements, the elderly need at least 15 grams of essential amino acids per day for muscle building. Among them, leucine is the most important, which can increase protein production and reduce decomposition. Foods rich in leucine include soybeans, fish or beef. However, elderly people may not be able to get enough protein from their daily diet smoothly, often because of dysphagia, such as dental problems or chewing and swallowing problems. Therefore, oral nutritional supplements are relatively important for the improvement of muscle mass. Nutritional Supplement Hinex Jelly has 303 calories per serving, contains up to 15g of high-quality protein and a high amount of branched-chain amino acids, which is beneficial for muscle synthesis and tissue repair, plus a variety of minerals, vitamins, water-soluble dietary fiber, hydrolyzed collagen and other ingredients can strengthen nutritional supplements, maintain good health. In summary, this study intends to explore the effect of Hinex Jelly nutritional supplemental intervention on muscle mass quality and quantity changes by means of randomized intervention and controlled trials.
