Filter by:This randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of an Iyengar Yoga intervention to a Wellness Seminar health education lecture series, for improvements in energy, mood and biological functioning in breast cancer survivors with persistent, post-treatment fatigue. It is anticipated that the Iyengar Yoga intervention will be feasible and acceptable to breast cancer survivors with minimal side effects and that the Yoga intervention will be effective in improving fatigue and physical performance.
RATIONALE: American ginseng may reduce fatigue in patients with cancer. It is not yet known whether American ginseng is more effective than a placebo in treating cancer-related fatigue. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying American ginseng to see how well it works in treating patients with fatigue caused by cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Modafinil is effective in: (1) reducing fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); and (2) improving cognitive function and quality of life in individuals with TBI.
The purpose of this study is to determine the subjective response of iron substitution (Tardyferon®) on fatigue in women blood donors with a mean serum ferritin < 30ng/ml and to assess variation of ferritin and hemoglobin after a blood donation.
Fatigue is a prevalent phenomenon in Primary Sjøgrens syndrome (PSS). Observations indicate that the cytokine IL-1 is of importance for this phenomenon. In this study the investigators block IL-1 by giving Anakinra (an IL-1 receptor antagonist) to patients with PSS.
The purpose of this study is to describe the features of continuity and quantify fatigue in three ICU resident work schedules, estimate the frequency of preventable adverse events, and inform the design and demonstrate the feasibility of a future multi-centre study.
RATIONALE: Expressive writing may help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in breast cancer survivors with chronic lymphedema. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying expressive writing in improving the quality of life in women with breast cancer and lymphedema.
This study will examine people who have pain or fatigue symptoms with a known or unknown diagnosis to determine eligibility for other research studies. No treatment is offered under this protocol. People 18 years of age or older with symptoms of pain and fatigue may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo standard examinations needed to diagnose or evaluate their symptoms. The results of the test are used to screen subjects for possible participation in other Nursing Institute studies. The study requires from one to three visits at NIH over 12 months for procedures that may include the following: - Medical history, physical examination and questionnaires related to symptoms and quality of life. - Blood tests - Electrocardiogram - Tender point testing. Pressure is applied to areas of the shoulder, hip, neck, chest, elbow and knee to identify tenderness.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if patients randomized to a hospital sleep environment intervention would have improved sleep quality and reduced fatigue as compared to the patients not receiving the intervention (standard care).
RATIONALE: Aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and flexibility and relaxation training may reduce fatigue and improve the health and quality of life of breast cancer survivors. It is not yet known which type of exercise is more effective for inactive older female breast cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying aerobic exercise to see how well it works compared with resistance exercise or flexibility and relaxation training in improving the health and quality of life of inactive older female breast cancer survivors.
