The mixed methods pilot study aims to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and implementation challenges of the TARANG intervention in villages in rural/tribal Rajasthan to inform the study design and operational details for a larger cluster-randomized controlled trial.
Even though medical treatment has improved within the last 10-15 years, patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) still experience reduced quality of life, depression, anxiety, changes in family roles, work life, and social relationships. Particularly the newly diagnosed, require regular consultations and available support from health professionals, to be able to handle emotional, social, and physiological challenges. The hypothesis is that a self-management intervention can improve patients' ability to monitor their arthritis and respond to symptoms, reduce the risk of co-morbidities, and improve adherence. And also, that they can develop cognitive, behavioral, and emotional strategies to manage life with arthritis. There is a lack of disease-specific evidence, in integrated interventions with multiple components targeting patients with a newly diagnosed IA. In a previous study, the investigators developed a self-management intervention, and now wish to test it in a randomized feasibility study.
Research problem and specific questions: Health-related habits influences mental and physical health. Still, screening and treatment of health-related habits, which can help to remedy health problems, is not done at all or very superficially. National guidelines emphasize the importance of prioritizing health-related habits, but there is a lack of implemented models. To solve this, the investigators have developed a transdiagnostic, interprofessional material intended for several care settings. Study 1: Is LEV a feasible intervention in different healthcare contexts? Study 2: A functional roadmap to healthier habits: A thematic analysis of themes form the functional analysis of unhealthy and healthy lifestyle behavior in adults with disabilities This study will use data from study 1.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 50 million people have epilepsy. Among them, nearly 80% of epileptic patients live in developing countries and 75% of them do not have access to treatment. The ketogenic diet (KD) has been shown as an effective alternative for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Although it has been studied by few studies in Asia, no such studies have been conducted in Vietnam. The purpose of this study was to verify the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of the KD in children with refractory epilepsies followed at a pediatric center in South Vietnam.
The study has a randomized crossover design including qualitative interviews of the participant's test experiences. Healthy participants, ≥60 years are eligible to participate in the study. Cognitive function will be measured by using the International Study Group of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (ISPOCD) test battery and the Mindmore digital test battery. The participants will self-report their likelihood of depression with the geriatric depression scale-15, their user experience of the digital test by a modified version of System Usability scale, and answer questionnaires targeting their experiences of the test sessions. Furthermore, concentration difficulties, according to the Swedish Quality of Recovery-scale will also be measured.
Background: Feasibility and acceptability of bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) were not evaluated in childhood severe pneumonia in developing countries at a larger scale. Objective: 1. To describe prevailing structural and functional conditions and other operational challenges in nontertiary hospitals in Bangladesh that would need to be addressed in order to introduce bubble CPAP as part of the management of children with severe pneumonia enabling a successful interventional trial. 2. To develop and test bubble CPAP training materials of relevance to clinical staff providing care for children with severe pneumonia in district general hospitals. 3. To determine the prevalence of hypoxaemia among hospitalised children with severe pneumonia in non-tertiary/district hospitals, current practices with regard to management and clinical outcome, to support power calculations of a future interventional trial of bubble CPAP for children with severe pneumonia. 4. To document the early experience, particularly the feasibility and acceptability of introducing bubble CPAP in selected non-tertiary/district hospitals. Methodology: Feasibility/demonstration phase will be done as an internal pilot in 2 hospitals. Current treatment practice, facilities, and operational challenges will be evaluated for the introduction, clinical use and maintenance of bubble CPAP. Outcome: 1. To describe the structural and functional conditions and operational challenges that may influence the introduction of bubble CPAP. 2. To have bubble CPAP training materials that can be delivered cheaply and repeatedly to a level of comprehension of staff providing care to children with pneumonia in district general hospitals in Bangladesh. 3. A quantitative analysis of the incidence of hypoxaemia among hospitalised children with severe pneumonia, current management practices and clinical outcomes. 4. A qualitative assessment of the feasibility of introducing bubble CPAP. Number of children to be enrolled: 20 children in 2 hospitals as an internal pilot (i.e. 10 in each hospital) Main inclusion criteria: Age between 2 months and 24 months with severe pneumonia and hypoxemia and guardian/parent gives written informed consent to participate in the study. Statistical Analysis: For feasibility and acceptability study, a descriptive analysis will be performed. Study duration: 44 months
An open-label, multi-centre, 26-weeks clinical feasibility study. The objective is to explore whether Saxenda could be a feasible choice in the treatment of overweight, obesity and weight-related medical problems, in patients diagnosed with a severe mental illness and hospitalized at a forensic department in Denmark. We wish to determine the viability of the daily Saxenda®-injection treatment in this specific patient group.
Keloids are the most common disfiguring skin disorder affecting colored population with a prevalence of upto 16%. Autologous adipose derived stem cells have been found to have potential therapeutic benefits however limited clinical trials have compared there role to standard therapy. This is a pilot study that is intended to evaluate the feasibility of conducting this clinical trial comparing adipose derived stromal vascular fraction to Triamcinolone in keloid treatment. The full clinical trial is already registered under the clinical trial number NCT04391621. The objective of this Pilot is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a full study on the same topic.
Veteran suicide is a national problem; social disconnection is an important contributor to suicide risk. This pilot study will recruit Veterans to take part in a peer-centered intervention called Caring Cards (CC). CC gives Veterans who have a history of increased suicide risk the opportunity to make cards that are then sent to Veterans who are currently at high-risk for suicide. This study will directly benefit Veterans and contribute to the quality of services provided by VA by creating a safe, creative space for Veterans with lived experience related to suicide risk to join together to provide messages of hope, community, and resilience to their peers at risk for suicide. Helping Veterans support one another provides a bridge for social connection, which may help prevent Veteran suicide. This intervention may also improve Veterans' satisfaction with VA healthcare and engagement with mental health treatment.
