Filter by:Participants in the Chicago Lupus Database or individuals seen at Northwestern Medicine will be approached to enroll in a one year clinical trial looking at decreasing fatigue in persons with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The intervention group will receive individual coaching sessions focusing on physical activity and nutrition while the control group will receive individual calls in relation to SLE self-management educational sessions.This study is designed to evaluate the LIFT intervention to decrease fatigue (primary outcome), improve physical activity (secondary outcome) and dietary behavior (exploratory outcome) in persons with SLE.
Breast and colon cancer survivors with no evidence of disease, who score less than 45 in the PREDICT questionnaire for fatigue, will be randomized to a supervised strength program versus a supervised resistance program. The primary objective is improvement of cancer-related fatigue.
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial examining 12-week, 24-week and one year outcomes from a combined therapeutic and physical exercise program that aims to bridge head-and-neck cancer survivors from acute care rehabilitation services to community-based exercise programming.
Fatigue, or asthenia, is an important symptom for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients in routine as well as research oriented clinical practice. Various questionnaires measuring fatigue have been developed, but few have been validated in french. MFI (Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory) has been validated in french in only one study. BFI (Brief Fatigue Inventory) has been translated but never validated in french language. The main purpose of this study is to validate psychometrically the french version of BFI.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study to evaluate the safety profile and ability of TW1025 oral solution to decrease fatigue in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
This is a small randomised-controlled trial (RCT) using methylphenidate as a treatment for clinically-significant fatigue in sarcoidosis patients with stable disease. The primary outcomes are feasibility, aimed at determining factors that will influence the design a future, larger RCT, which will be powered to look at clinical efficacy of the intervention.
Women in active labor will be given energy gel at 45-60 minute intervals and their fatigue level will be compared to women receiving usual practice care i.e. clear liquids only.
During cancer treatment children are less active than their health peers. This inactivity persists into survivorship and can negatively affect health and quality of life. Physical activity may also improve fatigue, a prevalent and distressing symptom during treatment. Improving health behaviors during treatment can have lifelong benefits for cancer survivors. In this study, the effectiveness of the "Kids are Moving" exercise program will be evaluated. The exercise program will follow program guidelines set up by the American College of Sports Medicine and will be adapted for children with cancer. Children ages 6 to 18 years, who are receiving chemotherapy, and their parents, will be coached on how to increase their physical activity and will receive an exercise prescription. This will occur as part of the standard care they receive from the nurse practitioners during the first six months of their outpatient visits. Investigators want to find out if children in the Kids are Moving program are more active and have less fatigue. Activity will be measured through patient questionnaires about activity and fatigue, and by wearing the FitBit activity tracker and an actigraph. Outcomes will be compared to measurements collected from children who received usual care before the exercise program started. Physical activity is a vital for improving health and quality of life and for providing energy for engaging in positive life experiences as children move along the developmental continuum to a long and healthy future. Outcomes of the study will provide a foundation for larger multi-site clinical trials.
The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a 20-item self-report instrument designed to measure fatigue. It covers the following dimensions: general fatigue, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, reduced motivation and reduced activity. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) contains nine statements that rate the severity of fatigue symptoms. The purposes of this study are to translate fatigue questionnaires of -MFI- and -FSS- to Taiwan-version, and to examine the reliability and validity of the scales. A hundred adult people without diagnosed physical nor mental disabilities will be recruited. Subjects will fill out the Taiwan-version of MFI, FSS, SF-36 and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to establish the validity. Subjects will re-fill the MFI and FSS one week later to evaluate the test-retest reliability. Another twenty people who are familiar with both English and Chinese will be recruited to evaluate the translation reliability. Subjects will fill out the English version of MFI and FSS and, then, fill out the Taiwan-version of the MFI and FSS with at least ten minutes apart. The translation reliability will be evaluated by paired t test and the intraclass correlation coefficient.
This study evaluates the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of fatigue in participants with Parkinson's Disease. Half of participants will receive real acupuncture while the half will receive placebo acupuncture.
