Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to investigate the association of stage-grade of periodontitis with sleep quality and fatigue and the effect of periodontitis on QoL (Quality of life) in individuals with periodontitis and gingivally healthy individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Have poor sleep quality, inadequate sleep and fatigue got an effect on periodontal status? 2. Has periodontal status got an effect on sleep quality and fatigue? 3. What is the effect of periodontal status on quality of life? Routine clinical and radiographic periodontal examinations of the participants were performed. Groups were designed according to periodontal status and periodontitis-stages of participants. Group 1- Healthy; Group 2- Stage I periodontitis; Group 3- Stage II periodontitis; Group 4- Stage III periodontitis; Group 5- Stage IV periodontitis. The participants were only asked to fill out the questionnaires (socio-demographic survey, tooth cleaning habit survey, The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), The Jenkins Sleep Scale(JSS), Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue scale (MAF) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14)) included in the study and were informed about them. Then, if necessary, the participants' routine periodontal treatments were performed. In line with the findings of the study; 1. Sleep quality was found higher in gingival healthy individuals. 3. The severity of periodontitis increases, the sleep duration becomes shorter, 4. It has been observed that the sleep quality in terms of gender is lower in female individuals compared to male individuals.
E-OJ-01 (Oxyjun®), a proprietary, standardized aqueous extract of TA, has been proven to improve cardiac output and thereby lead to better oxygenation capacity and exercise endurance. This, in turn, averts fatigue and improves physical functioning. Based on the previous studies of E-OJ-01 and the scientific literature available in support of the antioxidant and anti- inflammatory activity of TA bark, in the present study, it is hypothesized that E-OJ-01 will be able to reduce fatigue and improve the cardiorespiratory fitness of the male participants aged between 30 to 60 years.
Over the past decade, importance of supportive care in cancer treatment of young cancer patients has increased. However, most common cancer-related side effects, such as physical deconditioning, psychological problems, infertility, and cancer-related fatigue, are particularly problematic for young adults (AYA). Short- and long-term side effects result in impaired quality of life, social life, and physical activity levels. While there is growing evidence that physical exercise is effective in reducing disease- or treatment-related side effects, programs are generally not tailored to the unique needs of young adults. In addition, social media or web-based programs are rarely structurally integrated into existing care programs. The objective of the Your Exercise Program (YOUEX) study is therefore to address these specific needs and to improve physical exercise services for young people in Germany. To this end, this pilot study presents three approaches to physical activity enhancement, with a particular focus on web-based and cross-regional programs. All three approaches will be evaluated for their feasibility and effectiveness on fatigue, distress, quality of life, and activity levels, as well as sustained effects over 24 weeks. The YOUEX study is an exploratory intervention study in the form of a 12-week exercise program for patients aged 18 to 39 years who currently have or have had a cancer diagnosis within the past 5 years. Eligible patients can choose from three support programs: Social Media Exercise Program, Online Exercise Platform, Supervised Exercise Program. The goal is to recruit 70 to 80 patients over an 8-month period. Evaluation questionnaires will be sent at three time points (T0: start of exercise program, T1: after 6 weeks; T2: after 12 weeks; T3: after 24 weeks) with a short weekly questionnaire between T0 and T2 to assess weekly adherence and changes in fatigue. YOUEX study will collect detailed information on the acceptability and feasibility of different physical activity programs for young people and their lasting effects on fatigue, quality of life and physical activity. Should these be positive, the findings can directly inform health care practice, which would be highly relevant especially in light of the COVID pandemic.
The aim of this research is to determine the effect of hot water foot bath applied in the early period after cesarean section on pain, fatigue and gas release.The sample of the research consisted of 80 women who gave birth by cesarean section. 'Descriptive Information Form', 'Numerical Rating Scale', 'Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue', 'Experimental Group Patient Follow-up Form', 'Control Group Patient Follow-up Form' were used as data collection tools. It was determined that the hot water foot bath applied in the early period after cesarean section reduced the level of pain and fatigue, and had no effect on gas release.
In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players. Literature lacks of perturbation exercises and its effects on peroneal's muscle strength, fatigue and individual's performance parameters. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations.
In the present study, Sponsor aim to evaluate the effects of EnXtra® as to improve Accuracy & Reaction Time, Perceived Alertness & Digital Fatigue for Video Gamers. A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Crossover Study of 60 randomized cross over for total study duration of approximately 25 days with 5 days of treatment period for each arm and 5-7 days wash out period between both arms.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate potential beneficial effects of TTFD® EX PLUS (Prince Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Yunlin County, Taiwan) on fatigue and ergogenic functions following physiological challenge. The test used a double-blind crossover design and supplementation for 28 days. 32 male and female 20-30 year-old subjects were divided into two groups in a balanced order according to each individual's initial maximal oxygen uptake and were assigned to receive a placebo with equal gender (non TTFD® EX PLUS with same color/day, n=16, 8 male and 8 female) or TTFD® EX PLUS (600mg/tablet/day, n=16, 8 male and 8 female) every morning. After the intervention, there were 28 days of wash-out, during which time the subjects did not receive further interventions.
Many treatments for prostate cancer can cause significant fatigue and/or problems with memory and concentration. Many treatments for prostate cancer also result in disturbed sleep. Improving sleep may reduce feelings of fatigue and improve memory and concentration. The purpose of this study is to test a wearable device that provides real-time feedback on sleep patterns, instruction on how to improve sleep, and a score that indicates periods of time when fatigue and issues with memory and concentration may be most troublesome. The study also is designed to test a type of treatment (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, CBT-I) that is helpful for people who are experiencing disturbed sleep.
Self-care non-pharmacological methods can help reduce the negative health effects of sleep problems or insomnia. This trial aims to investigate the effects of sleep hygiene education and lavender oil inhalation alone and in combination on sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in adults with a stoma.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of acupressure on fatigue in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) as well as assess sleep quality and psychological status HYPOTHESIS TO BE TESTED: Upon intervention completion, the experimental group will exhibit lower severity of fatigue and depression/anxiety and improved sleep quality compared to the control group. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: A randomized controlled trial with experimental and control groups. A total of 116 patients with ESRD who screen positive for fatigue severity ≥ 4 (using a single-item indicator of fatigue, which ranges from 0 to 10 points) will be recruited. STUDY INSTRUMENTS: Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) INTERVENTION: A 4-week acupressure intervention was performed by the principal investigator (PI) for every subject by applying the rate of two rotations per second, three times a week. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary: fatigue. Secondary: sleep quality, depression, and anxiety. DATA ANALYSIS: Multiple regression was used to analyze between-group differences in BFI and PSQI, while ordinal logistic regression was used to analyze the subscales of the HADS. EXPECTED RESULTS: The proposed acupressure intervention is useful for alleviating fatigue and related symptoms (sleep quality, depression, and anxiety) experienced by patients with ESRD.
