Filter by:The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of ingestion of different sports drinks (Nutrattente / Nutraperf / Nutrarecup) on fatigue induced by a tennis tournament simulation.
RATIONALE: Methylphenidate hydrochloride or modafinil may help reduce daytime sleepiness and improve the quality of life of patients with excessive daytime sleepiness after cancer therapy. It is not yet known whether methylphenidate hydrochloride or modafinil are more effective than a placebo in reducing daytime sleepiness in these patients. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying methylphenidate hydrochloride or modafinil to see how well they work compared with a placebo in treating young patients with excessive daytime sleepiness after cancer therapy.
As the critical care practice has improved over the last decades more patients are recovering from intensive care therapy. However, muscle atrophy and neuromuscular dysfunction are commonly observed sequelae after critical illness and are thought to play important roles in the development of intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW). As a consequence, these entities may contribute to the impaired physical function and prolonged convalescence reported by ICU patients up to twelve months after discharge. Thus, strategies to counteract muscle atrophy and neuromuscular dysfunction acquired during the ICU stay may therefore potentially improve physical outcome and reduce the overall burden of critical illness. Limited information is available on muscle function in ICU patients and to our knowledge no muscle stimulation methods are currently available for evaluating muscle fatigue in large, proximal muscles groups, such as m. quadriceps, in non-cooperating ICU patients.
This randomized clinical trial studies nursing intervention in supporting family caregivers (FCs) of patients undergoing stem cell transplant. A nursing intervention may help prepare FCs support the recovery of the patients
Longitudinal study nonrandomized, multicenter observational descriptive monitoring patients treated with anti-angiogenic for metastatic kidney cancer
The purpose of this study is to compare intervention by Art-therapy to standard care in patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer and evaluate the fatigue.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if armodafinil can reduce fatigue and other common symptoms in patients that have received treatment for head and neck cancer.
Physical exercise has been identified as a major item of many chronic diseases and cancer rehabilitation. Therefore, physical activity for health is a valid and relevant way to improve quality of life and to manage cancer patient fatigue. The aim of the study is the assessment of the effects of a physical activity retraining program on aerobic capacity, strength and fatigue, in a breast cancer population treated by adjuvant chemotherapy.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of two treatment strategies for fatigue and disabilities in QFS: long term treatment with doxycycline or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Background: - Many people who have traumatic brain injury (TBI) have low levels of physical fitness. Low physical fitness causes severe fatigue that reduces the ability to perform routine daily activities, and may also cause increased depression, anxiety, or sadness. Aerobic exercise, such as treadmill walking or running, improves physical fitness in most people and may also decrease fatigue and improve mood. However, more information is needed to determine if exercise improves these conditions in people who have TBI. Objectives: - To examine the effect of an aerobic treadmill walking exercise program on physical fitness, fatigue, and mood in people with TBI. Eligibility: - Individuals between 21 and 45 years of age who had a nonpenetrating traumatic brain injury at least 6 months before participating; able to understand oral and written English language, give informed consent and sign a consent form; are physically inactive (including activities related to both job and recreation); and are able to stand and walk on a treadmill safely without help. Design: - This study requires 4 testing visits and 36 exercise visits over 14 weeks. - The first and third testing visits will last about 4 hours and the second and final testing visits will take about 2 hours. - Testing visits will consist of a medical history and physical examination, completion of questionnaires (about fatigue, daily physical activity, sleep quality, mood, and overall quality of life), tests of thinking and a treadmill exercise test. - Participants will have treadmill exercise training 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Each session includes a check-in, warm-up, treadmill walking at the training heart rate, and cool-down. Thirty-two of the sessions will last for about 1 hour, and four of the sessions will include questionnaires to fill out and will last about one-and-a-half hours. - After completing the exercise training program, participants will have a final testing visit to complete the questionnaires (about fatigue, daily physical activity, sleep quality, mood, and overall quality of life), tests of thinking and a treadmill exercise test....
