The investigators performed a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fermented Velvet Antler extract on fatigue recovery after exercise. The investigators measured fatigue recovery parameters , including lactate, ammonia, inorganic phosphorus, creatine kinase and LDH, and monitored their blood pressure.
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women and is associated with profound restrictions of health-related quality of life and psychosocial health. More than three-quarters of women with breast cancer suffer from fatigue during cancer treatment. While exercise interventions can improve fatigue in breast cancer patients, many patients request complementary treatment approaches. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of yoga in women with breast cancer compared to aerobic exercise and usual care. It is hypothesized that yoga is more effective than usual care and equally effective as aerobic exercise.
This project is a comprehensive study, with main focus on motor control, comparing patients with chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalopathy (CFS/ME) and/or fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Focus of the present project will be on detailed movement analysis in a movement laboratory and involve functional tasks such as walking and standing. Investigations will also comprise muscle activity, reaction time and fine motor control.
Firefighters frequently work extended duration shifts and long work weeks which have adverse effects on alertness, health, safety and performance. This protocol uses a survey instrument to examine the effects of extended duration shifts on safety outcomes (e.g., motor vehicle crashes, accidents, injuries), health (e.g., diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, improved general health indices, decreased number of sick days), and performance (e.g., decreased response time). This study will expand understanding of the nature, scope, etiology and consequences of firefighter fatigue and increase our ability to develop guidelines that can be generalized across fire departments throughout North America. This study could provide an avenue to make lasting policy improvements that could enhance the safety, health, and performance of firefighters.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the severity of fatigue, and the severity of qi deficiency and blood stasis.
The purpose of this research study is to find out if Red Bull™ Sugar-Free Drink can reduce fatigue in prostate cancer patients receiving LHRH agonist therapy.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients often complain of cognitive fatigue. There is currently no treatment for this symptom. Fampridine SR is a recently approved medication that improves walking ability and walking speed in MS patients. It is thought that it might have the same positive effect on cognitive fatigue. This study will compare fampridine 10mg twice a day to placebo in order to determine if there is any benefit of this medication for cognitive fatigue in MS.
This observational study will evaluate the presence and evolution of fatigue on treatment with RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to at least two DMARDs (one of them methotrexate) or to anti-TNF treatment. Patients initiated on treatment with RoActemra/Actemra (8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks) with or without methotrexate will be followed for 4 months.
This study is funded by the Moody Endowment. In this project, we will investigate the potential effect of skeletal muscle nitric oxide (NO) production on skeletal muscle anabolism, muscle strength, physical function, and body composition in older individuals. Further, we will determine whether augmentation of NO-mediated signaling reduces fatigue and fatigability.
