Filter by:Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a treatment that could potentially reduce walking problems and fatigue in persons with Multiple Sclerosis. However, extensive use of TENS in a clinical setting is hindered by a lack of neurophysiological understanding of the effects of TENS. The primary objective of this pilot study is therefore to investigate the effects of TENS on brain activity in pwMS measured with fMRI.
This research was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental way to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on hypoglycemia fear, caregiving, fatigue and self-compassion in parents of children with Type 1 diabetes. The research was conducted with the parents of the patients who came to the Pediatric Endocrinology polyclinic of the Van Training and Research Hospital of the University of Health Sciences between July 26, 2021 and August 19, 2022. The research was carried out in two stages. The first stage was carried out methodologically to determine the validity and reliability of the "Parental Version Of The Diabetes-Specific Self-Compassion Scale SCS-(Dp)" in Turkish. The sample of the study was composed of 102 parents and the data were collected with the "Descriptive Information Form" and the " Parental Version Of The Diabetes-Specific Self-Compassion Scale SCS-(Dp)". "Language", "scope" and "construct" validity analyzes were used to evaluate the validity of the scale. KMO and Bartlett's Tests and factor analysis were evaluated for construct validity. As a result of the reliability analysis the Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.817. As a result it was seen that the two 19 item sub-dimensions of the Turkish form of the "Parental Version Of The Diabetes Specific Self-Compassion Scale SCS-(Dp)" were confirmed for the Turkish form in the same way. The sample of the second phase of the study consisted of 74 parents with Type 1 diabetes children, 37 of which were in the study group and 37 in the control group. İn the collection of data process, "Descriptive Information Form", "University of Virginia Parent Low Blood Sugar Scale", "BAKAS Care-Giving Impact Scale", "Fatigue Severity Scale", "Parental Version Of The Diabetes-Specific Self-Compassion Scale SCS-(Dp)" was used.
The postpartum period, especially in the first few weeks, can be a difficult period for mothers to adapt to the new situation of having a baby. During this process, physiological, psychological and social changes occur in the mother's body. While many mothers adapt to these changes easily, some mothers may experience psychological disorders at different levels.Among these, anxiety and depression are the most common diseases. Anxiety can negatively affect mothers, especially during birth and the postpartum period.During the postpartum period, nurses have the opportunity to improve maternal and infant health by recognizing and treating anxiety.Physical symptoms associated with postpartum anxiety include fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances. However, during the vaginal birth process, mothers may feel tired in the early postpartum period, as the pregnant woman spends a lot of energy by staying hungry for a long time. When the literature was examined, it was determined that endorphin massage reduces back pain in pregnant women, reduces anxiety level in pregnant women, accelerates the involution process in the postpartum period, and has positive effects on postpartum depression.Similar to endorphin massage, it has been determined that back massage reduces back pain in the postpartum period and provides the mother with both physiological and psychological relief. In addition, no study has been found examining the effect of endorphin massage applied to postpartum women on anxiety levels and fatigue in the postpartum period. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of endorphin massage applied to postpartum women who gave birth vaginally on postpartum anxiety and fatigue levels.
This study aims to examine the effect of hand massage on patients receiving HD treatment on the severity of post-dialysis fatigue and post-dialysis recovery time.
This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a 12-week plyometric training regimen on improving power, speed, and agility among boys aged 10 to 18 years who are actively engaged in sports and exhibit differing levels of biological maturity. The study seeks to determine how maturation affects the responsiveness to the training program, potentially influencing future sports training approaches for young athletes.
Bedside monitors are frequently used in monitoring vital signs of critically ill patients. Nurses working in healthcare facilities, especially in intensive care units, are required to manage devices with different alarm threshold values, categories, and types of alerts, leading to alarm fatigue. In response to this serious threat to patient safety, the FDA and The Joint Commission worked to develop strategies to address alarm fatigue in 2011. Alarm monitoring, identification of the cause, and silencing are typically performed by nurses. When reviewing alarm control studies in the literature, the CEASE care package developed by Levis et al. in 2019 was encountered. The tool was developed for personalized clinical alarm monitoring for the patient.
Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) was defined as 'a subjective feeling of physical and/or mental exhaustion that is unrelated to exertion and does not typically improve with rest'. About 25~85% of first stoke patients had PSF in the first year. Literature review from animal studies suggested the mechanism of post-stroke fatigue may be due to prolonged production of inflammatory cytokines process after stroke. Acupuncture therapy which regulates the inflammatory process may have the potential to ameliorate fatigue symptoms alone with sleep disturbance after stroke. Acupressure which stimulating the same acupoints by manually pressure may make it easy to perform in anytime and anywhere. The effect of circadian based acupressure application on post-stroke fatigue and sleep disturbances need be further examined. The purpose of this two-year study is to (1) explore the distribution of inflammatory cytokines (blood and urine IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8) and post-stroke fatigue and sleep, and (2) examine the effect of circadian-based acupressure application on the inflammatory cytokines (urine and blood IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8), and post-stroke symptoms fatigue and sleep) in ischemic stroke patients with post-stroke fatigue during rehabilitation. Ischemic stroke patients (N=240) will be assessed from the rehabilitation wards. Patients with fatigue (FAS>=24) at assessment (n=78) will be further randomly assigned to the circadian based acupressure application group (AA), or the routine care control group (RC) for 2 weeks. Data of inflammatory cytokines (of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8), post-stroke fatigue (Fatigue assessment scale), and sleep (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index and consumer tracker) will be collected. Descriptive statistics, t-test, repeated measure ANOVA, linear/logistic regression or appropriate nonparametric equivalent will be used to compare pre-post differences and to compare differences between groups. Study results will provide information about the mechanism and effect of acupressure application on inflammation and post-stroke fatigue and sleep disturbances in ischemic stroke patients.
The goal of this experimental prospective study is to build an explicative model of trait fatigue in adults with schizophrenia engaged in a psychosocial rehabilitation process. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which factors amongst those evaluated explain the most of fatigue variance in people with schizophrenia? - Which clinical factors characterise the most fatigued participants compared to less fatigued participants? Participants will wear an accelerometer for seven days to assess their sedentary and physical activity behaviours as well as their sleep. After this, they will undergo an experimental visit, to asses: - Fatigue - Cognitive function - Tobacco and caffeine consumption - Fatigue catastrophizing - Sleep quality - Sarcopenia risk - Functional capacities - Handgrip strength - Quadriceps maximal strength and fatigability
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cangpo Liujun Prescription works to treat cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing second-line chemotherapy with spleen deficiency and dampness excess. It will also learn about the safety of Cangpo Liujun Prescription. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Cangpo Liujun Prescription improve the fatigue symptoms for participants? How about the relationship between taking Cangpo Liujun Prescription and distribution of intestinal flora? Researchers will compare Cangpo Liujun Prescription to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Cangpo Liujun decoction works to treat cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing second-line chemotherapy with spleen deficiency and dampness excess. Participants will: Take Cangpo Liujun Prescription or a placebo every day for 3 months Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms Take blood samples to detect immune function and inflammatory factors Collected Feces for gut microbiota analysis
Physical exercise is an effective tool for the prevention of various chronic diseases. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common chronic pain condition, in which patients may also experience a variety of other symptoms, including sleep disturbances, fatigue, stiffness, frequent episodes of pain and mental health problems, as well as possible gastrointestinal disorders. Furthermore, according to the American College of Rheumatology, such a generalised non-joint pain state occurs for at least three months in duration, predominantly in women over 50 years of age. In turn, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) presents as a disease characterised by persistent and debilitating fatigue lasting at least six months. The origin of FM and CFS is unknown, although alterations in the central nervous system (CNS), as well as abnormalities in muscle physiology and immune/inflammatory response are suggested as the main causes. In addition, most patients with FM are sedentary and in poor physical condition, exacerbated by pain, fatigue or depression, which can limit their daily activities and affect their quality of life and work opportunities. In this regard, physical exercise is considered the most important non-pharmacological strategy for the treatment of FM; however, many clinically relevant questions remain unanswered regarding the most effective approach to exercise therapy in FM patients. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to analyse the possible physical and mental benefits of a physical exercise programme in people diagnosed with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome.
