NCT ID: NCT04768803 Recruiting - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Ghrelin in Patients With a Rare Disease Associated With Intellectual Disability, and Hyperphagia, and/or Overweight, and/or Obesity

HOGRID
Start date: June 10, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

A significantly higher proportion of patients with rare diseases (RD) with intellectual disability (ID), present hyperphagia, overweight or obesity, compared to the general population. Prader-Willi syndrome is the only genetic obesity identified to date associated with hyperghrelinemia, while ghrelin levels are lower than in controls in other situations of obesity. The aim of the study is to find out whether the levels of ghrelin, which are abnormally high in PWS throughout life, are also high in these RD when people have hyperphagia and/or overweight.

NCT ID: NCT04744259 Recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

BEAT-IT: Behavioural Activation and Severe Learning Disabilities

Start date: February 18, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Depression is common, but no psychological interventions have been tested to see if they work for adults with severe intellectual disabilities. The research team recently successfully completed a full-scale trial of a psychological intervention, BeatIt, for depressed adults with mild/moderate intellectual disabilities. The aim of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the feasibility of modifying BeatIt for depressed adults with severe intellectual disabilities, collecting the information needed on likely recruitment, measures, and waiting list control arm options, to design a full-scale study.

NCT ID: NCT04728074 Completed - Clinical trials for Intellectual Disability

Effects of Vocational Rehabilitation Group Intervention on Motivation and Occupational Self-Awareness in Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities

Start date: February 6, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is an intervention study that investigates the effects of a group-based approach to motivation and occupational self-awareness of individuals with intellectual disability (ID). The intervention method was developed by following the intervention mapping method. An 8 weeks group intervention (twice a week) was applied to individuals with ID which includes; Introduction to intervention and meeting with other group members self-awareness training occupational self-awareness taking responsibility group work and labor division problem identification problem-solving The entire program was structured and guided by the prepared manual (available upon request from the authors). The manual was prepared by the authors of this study to ensure consistency between different sessions and groups. All sessions were diffusively explained in the manual as well as the individual session booklets. The supervisors were able to follow the structure of the sessions from those booklets. Additionally, there were visual materials for each session as in; presentations, graphics, and photographs. The program supervisors (therapists) met once every week to discuss the progress, participation, and overall status of each participant. Homework assignments were utilized to facilitate learning. Families were not included directly in the group sessions, however were informed about the homework assignments. Homework assignments consisted of very basic mental practice and reenactment regarding the session's topic and concepts. Families were also included in the final week's sessions since graduation certificates were handed out during these sessions and also small celebrations were carried out.

NCT ID: NCT04726371 Recruiting - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Best Practices to Prevent COVID-19 Illness in Staff and People With Serious Mental Illness and Developmental Disabilities in Congregate Living Settings

Start date: January 8, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Best Practices to Prevent COVID-19 Illness in Staff and People With Serious Mental Illness and Developmental Disabilities in Congregate Living Settings is a research study aimed at developing, implementing, and evaluating a package of interventions specifically designed to reduce COVID-19 and other infectious-disease incidence, hospitalizations, and mortality among staff and adults with Serious Mental Illness and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in congregate-living settings.

NCT ID: NCT04635969 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Intellectual Disability

Determining the Effectiveness of Sexual Health and Development Education for Children With Intellectual Disability

Start date: February 15, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

By integrating sexuality and disability literatures, theories, and research, this study aims to: determine the effectiveness of sexual health and development education for children (12-18 years) with mild to moderate intellectual disability. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the control group in the mean score of the "Sexual Development Characteristics Scale of Children with Mentally Retardation in Adolescence" after the sexual health and development trainings given to children with intellectual disabilities. H1: After the sexual health and development trainings given to children with intellectual disabilities, the mean score of the "Sexual Development Characteristics Scale of Children with Intellectual Disability in Adolescence" is significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group.

NCT ID: NCT04616638 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Effects of Guided Exercise on Functional Performance and Independence in Adults With Intellectual Disability

Start date: January 17, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) have significantly lower levels of fitness compared to the general population. The health benefits of enhanced muscular strength in the general population are well established. In adults with ID, increased muscular strength levels are positively associated with improved aerobic capacity and performance of functional tasks. A concerted effort has been made to design and evaluate resistance training (RT) interventions aimed at increasing muscular strength in adults with ID. While the findings are encouraging, the small number of published studies, missing or poorly described theoretical frameworks or familiarization protocols that guided the RT interventions, and compromised methodological quality raise questions about the actual effects of these interventions and warrant further investigation. The primary purpose of this study is to design and pilot test the effects of an innovative community-based multi-component RT program, Resistance Training for Empowerment (RT-POWER). The primary aim of RT-POWER is to improve muscular strength and independent functional performance in adults with ID. The trial is guided by the SCT theoretical framework. Adults with ID will be randomly allocated to either an experimental group (EG) or a control group (CG). The EG will receive the RT-POWER intervention and the CG will receive an RT intervention traditionally used with the general population. Stage 1 will consist of six familiarization sessions (2 per week for 3 weeks) and Stage 2 will consist of 20 RT sessions (2 per week for 10 weeks). Five hypotheses will be tested: (a) The EG will demonstrate significantly greater increases on the chest-press and leg-press one-repetition maximum (1-RM) tests from baseline to Week 15 compared with the CG; (b) The EG will demonstrate significantly greater increases on the plank test from baseline to Week 15 compared with the CG; (c) The EG will demonstrate significantly greater increases on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) from baseline to Week 15 compared with the CG; (d) The EG will demonstrate significantly greater decreases on the stair climb functional test (SCFT) from baseline to Week 15 compared with the CG; and (e) The EG will demonstrate significantly greater increases in the percentage of steps performed correctly and independently of four RT exercise tasks from baseline to Week 15 compared with the CG.
