A study of the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NNZ-2591 and measures of efficacy in children and adolescents with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome.
The main objective of this study is to determine the benefit of the Chalaxie pedagogical evaluation tool in the management of overweight or obese children with intellectual disability. Chalaxie is a software developped as a pedagogical evaluation tool. It is used in the therapeutic education of overweight and obese children and allow the clinican to explore several skills of the child, such as self-esteem.
This is a pilot study of the feasibility and potential impact of a Mindfulness-Based Music and Songwriting program (delivered via telehealth) on stress and well-being in parents/caregivers of children with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Participants are randomized to participate in the mindfulness program or a business-as-usual control group.
Objective: Although physical activity (PA) is cardiometabolic and psychologically beneficial to adults with intellectual disability (ID), its initiation and maintenance remain problematic. We examine the effects of a music-visual guided PA (MVgPA) intervention on the PA level, PA self-efficacy and interest as well as functional exercise capacity of adults with ID. Hypothesis: Compared with usual care, MVgPA can significantly increase the participant's PA level and improve their PA self-efficacy and interest, and functional exercise capacity. Design and participants: This cluster-randomized controlled trial will recruit 400 Chinese adults with mild to moderate ID from 20 residential care facilities. Intervention: Based on the information-motivation-strategy model, MVgPA comprises a motivational and strategical preparatory session and ongoing support to residential service providers and a 12-week group-based staff-facilitated MVgPA (two 75-min session/week) for adults with ID. Outcome measurement PA level (primary outcome) will be measured by using an activity tracker. PA self-efficacy and interest will be measured by the Baseline Interview Questionnaire and visual analogue scale respectively. Functional exercise capacity will be measured by six-minute walk test. All outcomes will be measured at baseline, 13 and 25 weeks. Data analysis: Intervention effects will be estimated using three-level mixed effects model. Expected results: MVgPA will effectively enhance the PA levels of adults with ID. After intervention implementation, we expect that at least 50% of the residential care facilities allocated to the intervention group will demonstrate their willingness to continue to implement the MVgPA program (score 4 out of 6, 6 = most willing).
The main objective of this pilot study is to assess distant procedures, study experiences and feasibility of a planned randomized controlled trial investigating the use of a mHealth support tool on physical activity for individuals with intellectual disability.
The objective of this study is to explore the benefits of internet use for people with intellectual disabilities (ID), the risks they might come up against while online, the barriers people with ID might come across due to the 'digital divide', and the opportunities offered by being online. The views and experiences of family carers and/or paid carers as well as the views of other safeguarding practitioners will also be investigated.
Horticultural therapy (HT) "is the engagement of a client in horticulture activities facilitated by a trained therapist to achieve specific and documented treatment goals" (American Horticultural Therapy Association, 2012). People's interactions with plants, through goal-orientated horticultural activities in the form of active gardening, as well as the passive appreciation of nature, could be therapeutic to people with mental or intellectual disabilities in many ways (Eling, 2006; Parkinson, Lowe, & Vecsey, 2011). This study aims to conduct evaluation studies of HT group programmes for care home residents with severe mental illness.
This is a multi-site, double-blind, parallel group, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 140 participants comparing oral purified cannabidiol isolate (CBD) with placebo in reducing Severe Behavioral Problems (SBP) at 8 weeks in children aged 6 - 18 years with Intellectual Disability (ID). Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either CBD or placebo.
Disability is a dynamic, multidimensional and diverse public health problem. Although the primary care burden of the disabled is mostly on mothers, caregivers cannot find little or no support socially and they have a high risk of experiencing physical and psychological health problems. In the studies carried out; Disabled caregivers reported higher and lower quality of life than healthy individuals' relatives with physical ailments such as asthma, arthritis, back pain, care burden, pain, insomnia, fatigue, depression, anxiety, stress. This study was planned to determine the effect of an application based on research, education and progressive relaxation exercises on the quality of life, perceived stress and coping strategies of caregivers of mentally disabled individuals. HYPOTHESES OF THE RESEARCH H1:Face to face education and PGE exercises applied to mentally disabled individual caregivers have an effect on caregivers' quality of life, perceived stress and ways of coping with stress. H2:Mobile application applied to mentally disabled caregivers and Education and PGE exercises have an effect on the quality of life of caregivers, their perceived stress and ways of coping with stress. H3:The Face to face + Mobile Application education and PGE exercises applied to mentally disabled individual caregivers have an effect on the caregivers' quality of life, their perceived stress and ways of coping with stress.
