Filter by:This is a non-randomized pilot study to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a transdiagnostic psychological intervention for primary care patients in Region Stockholm, Sweden, who suffer from persistent and disabling fatigue.
Rural communities in the southern U.S. suffer a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality from cardiometabolic disease, with traditional risk factors explaining only a modest proportion of the excess burden of disease. There is considerable evidence that multiple dimensions of sleep health, including sleep duration, efficiency, timing, and regularity, as well as the disorders sleep apnea and insomnia, affect cardiometabolic disease risk. However, there is currently a lack of systematically developed sleep data in rural populations. The RURAL Sleep Study is an ancillary study to a recently initiated longitudinal epidemiology study in rural Appalachia and Mississippi Delta (the RURAL Study). The RURAL Sleep Study will add measures of sleep health to the complex individual, social and environmental factors and health outcome measures being evaluated by the RURAL Study, by incorporating minimally burdensome measures of multiple dimensions of sleep health. The results are expected to inform health care providers, public health officials, and the general public of the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of impaired sleep health in these rural communities, providing a critical basis for prevention, recognition, and management of sleep disorders and improvement of sleep and cardiometabolic health.
Eye Care Professionals (ECPs) massively use auto-refractors during the patient journey to measure the objective refractive error: starting point of the subjective eye refraction. These devices provide objective information about the refractive and accommodative state of the eye, useful for the ECP to perform a complete eyesight test. Auto-refractor data for the distance vision are repeatable and accurate but near vision information are not enough reliable to build an accurate near vision routine exam. Previous internal studies, with auto refractors currently on the market, have shown that, during accommodation measurements, a large proportion of participants had a lower accommodative response than expected.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different concentric and eccentric muscle fatigue protocols on the knee joint position sense of healthy individuals.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of aerobic interval training on levels of tiredness and functional performance in post-angioplasty patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Does aerobic interval training reduce fatigue and improve functional performance compared to medication alone in post-angioplasty patients? Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the control group (medication) or the experimental group (medication + aerobic interval training) Perform aerobic interval training for 30 minutes, three times a week, for six weeks (experimental group only) Complete pre and post-intervention assessments using the fatigue severity scale, the 6-minute walk test, and the one minute sit to stand test Researchers will compare the two groups to see if aerobic interval training leads to significant improvements in fatigue levels and functional performance.
The primary goal of this study is to test whether 12 weeks of high-intensity aerobic exercise can treat fatigue in Parkinsons disease (PD). The study will be a randomized multi-site controlled trial with follow up. Clinically fatigued persons with PD will be allocated to either 12 weeks of high-intensity aerobic exercise or to a waitlist control group receiving high-intensity resistance exercise after 24 weeks of habitual lifestyle (control period). It is hypothesized that persons with PD receiving 12 weeks of high-intensity aerobic exercise will show superior effects on perceived fatigue (i.e., clinical relevant reductions) when compared to the PD control group (primary hypothesis), and that these effects are sustained after 12-weeks of follow up (secondary hypothesis).
Introduction The working conditions of prison officers are very stressful. Today, it is known that stress affects the health status of individuals in many ways. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the musculoskeletal system problems, fatigue severity, depression levels, and quality of life of prison officers and to examine the relationship between these parameters and the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants. Method The study included a total of 141 volunteers. The musculoskeletal problems of the participants were evaluated with the Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, fatigue levels were evaluated with the Fatigue Severity Scale, depression levels were evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory, and quality of life was evaluated with the Nottingham Health Profile.
This study aims to explore the use of peanut balls during the second stage of labor. It compares three different positions: traditional lithotomy position, lateral position, and lateral position with peanut ball in terms of women's perceived pushing effort experiences, fatigue, and birth outcomes.
This research was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of acupressure on the level of back pain and fatigue after coronary angiography.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease. Patients report that fatigue has a significant impact on their quality of life but is often not discussed in healthcare settings. Fatigue is more prevalent in SLE than other Rheumatic diseases. Management across the NHS is very variable ranging from a booklet to one to one appointments or, less often, a group intervention. Previous studies in other Rheumatic diseases have shown that a group cognitive behavioural approach can be effective in helping patients manage their fatigue. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way healthcare is delivered in the NHS . Healthcare professionals had to find alternate solutions e.g. Virtual appointments. Our study aims to establish whether a virtual group Fatigue Management Programme and a fatigue booklet (Versus Arthritis and Lupus UK) is more effective at reducing the impact of fatigue in SLE participants than the fatigue booklet alone. The investigators will also compare a shortened 4-week to the standard 7-week programme to lessen the time commitment for participants and potentially reduce waiting times.The investigators will measure the effectiveness of the interventions through the use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at several intervals whilst the participant is enrolled in the study.The pilot study will run in a single site in Edinburgh. The investigators aim to find a manageable, cost effective solution for the NHS and patients to address this frequently unmet need.
