Filter by:Regular physical activity promotes physical and mental well-being in the general population. Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS patients) tend them, to limit their physical activity or because of deficiencies related to the disease, or even on the advice of their caregivers in order to save their functional abilities. Time for leisure activity could be almost 20% lower in MS patients compared to healthy controls, and this situation is likely to aggravate the functional symptoms of multiple sclerosis. The literature described the benefit of physical activity for MS patients according to protocols and varied assessments. Evaluations were indeed concern very analytical elements of metabolic functioning, nervous, muscular, cardiopulmonary etc ... or take into account the performance of components or fatigue and quality of life. Due to the multiplicity of RE protocols, sometimes on the verge of pragmatic goals of functional rehabilitation, the double issue was the profit earned by an RE program and of this benefit by level of severity of MS. The main objective of our study was an evaluation of the effects on fatigue and quality of life of a retraining program to effort suitable for levels of impairment and patients with MS activity limitations. The secondary objective was checking a performance improvement of the patients in this adapted program.
The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy of taking red ginseng for chronic fatigue patient.
Like other cancer treatments, radiation therapy can make people feel fatigued, or tired. The investigators think that moderate exercise, done 15 minutes at a time, can reduce the fatigue. This study is designed to gather more information, so that in the future, doctors can recommend whether patients should engage in exercise during a radiation treatment course.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise can be prolonged in COPD can by the inhaled bronchodilator Stiolto Respimat. The study will identify whether any endurance benefit is due to reduction in fatigue that originates within the skeletal muscles and/or from effects on neural activation of the skeletal muscles.
This study compares Qigong movement-based meditation exercise with a healthy living exercise-wellness course. There are two primary goals of this research: 1. Evaluate and compare physiological mechanisms underlying the two wellness-exercise interventions with the specific goal of understanding the physiology of Qigong. Using a simple noninvasive EEG setup, the study will test some of the same brain mechanisms that have been found in mindfulness meditation. The study will also investigate Qigong's effects on stress and heart signals and on inflammation in the immune system. A key hypothesis is that Qigong will show distinctive, stronger effects on brain and heart measures. A related hypothesis is that Qigong will show stronger effects on blood markers of inflammation. 2. Compare effect sizes of the two interventions in decreasing fatigue in order to plan for a larger clinical trial.
This research project is focusing on changes in mental fatigue due to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in healthy individuals. The study aim is to see if mental fatigue can be rescued by administering a safe dose of tDCS. tDCS has been shown to decrease fatigue in healthy individuals experiencing extended wakefulness, and the investigators aim to investigate if similar results can be found in a fatigue inducing task. This is a single-blind randomized control trial that will compare mental fatigue between tDCS treatment and sham treatment groups through both subjective and objective measures. Objective fatigue will be measured by reaction time with the Stroop test and subjective fatigue will be measured by the multidimensional fatigue inventory questionnaire.
Many patients receiving radiation therapy for breast cancer experience fatigue although doctors do not fully understand why. The purpose of this study is to test if patients who experience fatigue during radiation treatment for breast cancer have changes in their capability to perform exercise on a treadmill.
The main objective of this study is to determine whether the proposed program of therapeutic exercise is effective in improving fatigue, more than the exercise unsupervised depending on their preferences, in women treated for breast cancer.
The current study is design to asses the effect of E-AG-01/ E-AG-02/ E-AG-03 on mental alertness as compared to placebo.
Objective: Investigating the immediate effects of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on neuromuscular performance in healthy subjects after an induced muscle fatigue protocol. Methods: Eighty volunteers of both genders aged between 18 and 28 years underwent a preliminary evaluation using surface electromyography and isokinetic dynamometer of the flexor muscles of the elbow. The subjects were randomly allocated into 4 groups: G1 was control group; G2 placebo; G3 laser applied before fatigue protocol; and G4 immediately after. Muscular fatigue protocol consisted of 30 maximal concentric isokinetic contractions at 120°/s of the elbow flexor muscles. An 808 nm equipment was used for applying laser therapy, with a power of 100 mW and total energy of 20 J. Volunteers were reassessed after interventions.
