Study type: Interventional

Major depressive and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and are a leading cause of disability. Black adults have a high burden of depression and anxiety. This study aims to assess a self- administered video-based intervention to reduce mental illness stigma and medical mistrust among Black adults with moderate to severe depression or anxiety.

NCT ID: NCT06277232 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Overweight and Obesity

Nutrition Care in Patients Living With Chronic Pain

Start date: June 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators' purpose is to develop and test the feasibility, usability, and satisfaction of the Diet4painrelief app as a platform for implementing nutrition care in a specialist pain rehabilitation clinic. The Diet4painrelief will consist of two components: a) a screening tool for nutrition status b) an individually tailored behavior change program aiming to improve the dietary habits and behaviors of patients living with chronic pain. The study is planned to include 20 patients with complex chronic pain and non-optimal BMI (underweight or overweight/obesity) to examine the feasibility and outcomes of evidence-based Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Program (IPRP) integrated with nutrition care. The Diet4painrelief includes a screening tool to assess basic nutritional status as well as their intake of key unhealthy and healthy foods and drinks (through three 24hour-dietary recordings or food diary). Thereafter, the patients receive a personalized behavior change program for dietary optimization. The investigators will design and adapt 6 modules in the digital platform (Diet4painrelief app) based on the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) recommendations (6 aspects about 'nutrition and pain') and Sweden's food culture. Clinical outcomes using patient-reported data on socio-demographics, pain aspects, psychometric data, physical disability, and quality of life will be measured at three occasions: first appointment (Pre-IPRP), immediately after completing the rehabilitation program (Post-IPRP), and at a 12-month follow-up (FU-IPRP). Blood samples will be taken to identify biomarkers at the same occasions that provide objective information on metabolic and nutritional abnormalities and further to evaluate the effect of the dietary intervention on changing of pain rehabilitation outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT06215963 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Opioid-Related Disorders

A4i-O: A Platform for Complex Behavioral Health to Address OUD

Start date: February 5, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

For the purposes of beta testing the first version of A4i-O, 15 individuals with OUD will use the platform for one month. From a design perspective this sample size is viewed as being sufficient to answer questions regarding app functionality and feasibility before moving to larger trials. Additionally, 15 individuals is a larger sample size than in the A4i pilot. This is an open label pilot with a primary objective of troubleshooting and providing early feedback on the beta version of the technology. To that end, 15 participants are anticipated to be sufficient to provide robust, early feedback. As with the focus groups, through sampling an effort will be made to secure a diverse group. Any individuals who might be declined in that effort at this stage (e.g., it is determined that no more male identifying participants are needed but they were interested) would be invited to take part in the subsequent RCT.

NCT ID: NCT06096272 Recruiting - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

Using Augmented Reality to Promote Physical Activity in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Start date: January 20, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Children with cerebral palsy (CP), Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale (GMFCS) I-II will be recruited to participate in a home based physical activity intervention for 12 weeks. Demographic data will be collected, and validated surveys assessing baseline activity level and quality of life will be administered. Participants will have an exercise program assigned and will be given a logbook to record their exercise adherence. They will be randomized to one of the two arms: Augment Reality (AR) app or control group. The AR app group will have exercises administered through the AR app. The Control group will do an at-home program using handouts. At the end of the program, participants will complete final surveys and activity tests. The control group will have access to the AR component after the 12 week period.

NCT ID: NCT06089876 Active, not recruiting - Physical Inactivity Clinical Trials

The Use of Mobile Applications in Obese and Overweight Adolescents for Health Improvement

Start date: September 25, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Overweight and obesity, understood as an accumulation of abnormal and excessive fat, are the second leading cause of preventable and avoidable mortality in developed countries, with more than 340 million children and adolescents affected by this disease worldwide. As a consequence, overweight and obesity at an early age is already considered a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), with a high incidence in developed countries. The abuse of new technologies has remained at worrying levels in the post-COVID period, favoring an increase in the adolescent population considered sedentary. In this regard, up to 70% of adolescents show sedentary behaviors, especially affecting the time spent on screens by both males (93.8%) and females (87.2%). Thus, the use of the cell phone has been shown to be a determining factor, since between 10% and 16% of adolescents show a problematic use of this device, affecting, among other aspects, their behavior during their free time. In recent years there has been an increase in sedentary time among adolescents and a decrease in the practice of physical activity that has favored a greater accumulation of body fat and increased the probability of being overweight or obese. In this context, some studies have tried to encourage the practice of physical activity in the school context in overweight and obese population, being these interventions effective to improve body composition. However, these interventions also have their detractors, who argue that the hours of Physical Education are too limited to dedicate so much time to a single content, and that the pedagogical component is often overlooked in their implementation. As an alternative to the above, it has been suggested that Physical Education classes could be used to promote interventions that encourage adolescents to practice physical activity in their free time, and mobile applications could be used to monitor the activity carried out by adolescents, but also as an element that generates adherence and enjoyment in this population. Research in this population using these technologies is scarce, therefore, this project aims to determine the effectiveness of a ten-week intervention promoted from the subject of physical education in which a mobile application is used after school hours on physical activity, body composition and fitness in overweight or obese adolescents.

NCT ID: NCT05952245 Not yet recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Instant Message-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)Stroke Caregivers

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The proposed trial aims to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for reducing insomnia symptoms among stroke caregivers.

NCT ID: NCT05940740 Recruiting - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Investigation of the Effect of Training on the Side Effects of Chemotherapy Given Via the Mobile Health Application on the Quality of Life in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The incidence of colorectal cancer ranks fourth worldwide after lung, prostate and breast cancers. Although chemotherapy has an important place in the treatment of colorectal cancers, it can cause side effects such as diarrhea and fatigue in patients. Cancer patients' ability to cope with treatment side effects can be benefited from technological developments. Studies have shown that mobile health applications reduce symptom experience and increase quality of life in patients with breast cancer and leukemia.

NCT ID: NCT05907005 Not yet recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Instant Message-delivered Early Psychological Intervention in Stroke Family Caregivers

EPI
Start date: July 24, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Psychological distress including depression and anxiety is a major component of caregiver stress, and its negative impact on caregivers' health and well-being has been established in the literature. A recent meta-analysis reported the prevalence of depression and anxiety in stroke caregivers as 40.2% and 21.4% respectively. An evidence profile report by the World Health Organization(WHO) has emphasised that psychological support is crucial in helping caregivers in the community to continue caring for individuals with long-term disabilities, such as stroke patients. Therefore, early psychological intervention (EPI) is crucial to improve the management and prognosis of an individual who are facing stressful events like caregiving. The main aim of this study is to prevent or alleviate the significant psychological consequences in carers resulting from stroke events in family members. Internet-delivered cognitive-behavioural therapy (iCBT) is delivered as an ecological momentary intervention (EMI) to support the clients to engage in cognitive reframing and empower them with proper knowledge, skills and attitudes to make behavioural changes.

NCT ID: NCT05892965 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Instant Message-delivered Brief Internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) for Post-stroke Depression

Start date: May 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Around one third of stroke survivors develop depression at any point of time following the stroke event. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is associated with negative care outcomes including poorer function, longer hospital stays, increased outpatient and inpatient clinic use, and higher mortality rate. In Hong Kong (HK), the prevalence of PSD within the hospital setting was 36%, and up to 68% in the community setting. However, PSD is seldom addressed in either settings in HK and elsewhere. Meta-analyses reported the effectiveness of Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT), particularly when guided by therapists (d = 0.63). Personalised and synchronous instant message-based intervention guided by therapists is an emerging form of psychological intervention. While such intervention showed medium to large effect (Hedges' g = 0.73) on negative psychological distress episodes including depression, no study has investigated its effect on PSD. The proposed study aims to 1) investigate the effect of therapist-guided brief iCBT delivery through instant messaging applications (e.g. WhatsApp and WeChat) to provide personalised and synchronous PSD support and 2) understand the experience of and compliance with the intervention. 160 community-dwelling stroke survivors with Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores ranging from 5 to 19 indicating mild to moderate depressive symptoms will be recruited and then individually randomised into the Intervention group (n=80) or Control group (n=80). Intervention group will receive 1) instant message-delivered brief iCBT for 3 months at participants' chosen times and frequencies, and 2) therapist-led text or voice message-based PSD support to enhance the effects of iCBT through real-time counselling and practical advice. Control group will only receive messages on general mental health information and reminders to participate in follow-up surveys. The primary outcome is PHQ-9 score at 6 months. Secondary outcomes will include anxiety (GAD-7), perceived stress (PSS-4), loneliness (ULS-8), and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) at 6 months. The study will strictly follow the CONSORT-EHEALTH checklist. Post-trial qualitative study will be conducted to understand the participants' experience of and compliance with the intervention (n≈20) respectively. This study will provide the first and practical evidence on the effectiveness of instant message-delivered brief iCBT intervention in addressing PSD in HK and beyond.
