Filter by:This is a virtual, single-arm clinical trial that will last 12 weeks. Participants will trial three different products, each for 4 weeks. Participants will trial Clevr Blends Sleeptime during weeks 1-4, Clevr Matcha for weeks 5-8, and Clevr Blends Chai for weeks 9-12. Participants will complete questionnaires at Baseline and Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. In addition to data will be collected from participants' sleep tracking devices at Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4.
The investigators aim to assess the relationship between objectives markers (of physiological reactivity) recorded using a smartwatch and self-reported subjective outcomes measured using standardized and non-standardized questionnaires recorded in an eDiary; with stress as the model for our assessment utilizing the validated PSS-10 questionnaire. As personal characteristics such as personality traits, resilience, and grit have been shown to modulate reactivity and mental health status, the investigators aim to explore the modulation of the study outcomes by such personality factors. Furthermore, the investigators aim to explore the association of the study outcomes with the composition and functional potential of the gut microbiome. Finally, the investigators aim to explore the effects of a nutritional intervention on our outcome measures. Participants will participate in a decentralized, parallel-group study with a mixed design lasting 8 days (excluding screening and enrollment). A total of 120 participants are divided into low-stress(n=40), and elevated-stress groups (n=80) based on their perceived stress score (PSS-10, cut-off score 13). A subgroup of elevated-stress participants (n=40) will be administered a nutritional intervention for 3 days. Their responses will be compared to another subgroup of elevated-stress participants (n=40) without intervention.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of 6- and 12- week supplementation of a bioactive whey protein concentrate drink containing dairy phospholipids on stress reactivity and recovery in healthy adults. The proposed randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel groups design methodology will assess the stress reactivity and recovery effects (both self-reported and physiological) of 40g per day of bioactive whey protein concentrate in the form of a powder that the participant will be required to mix with 350ml of water and matched placebo prior to (baseline) and after -6 week and -12 week supplementation. The trial will utilise the Multi-tasking framework (MTF) during testing visits to elicit an acute stress response within the laboratory. Self reported anxiety (STAI short-form) at multiple time points before and after the stressor will be measured as well as perceived task demand following the stressor (NASA-TLX). Physiological measurements of the stress response will also be measured through blood pressure, heart rate arability, and galvanic skin response. 150 participants will participate, aged 25-49, and self-reported as being in good health. Participants will be supplied with either the active treatment or the placebo (allocated by a randomised schedule) whilst visiting the research centre for the testing appointments, and will take treatment home to consume daily for the duration of the study. Participants will record time of taking treatment each day in a treatment diary which will be returned to the research centre, along with any unused treatment, upon completion of the study.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 6- and 12-week supplementation of a bioactive whey protein concentrate drink containing dairy phospholipids on cognitive function and mood in healthy young to middle aged adults. The proposed randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel groups design methodology will assess the cognitive, mood and lifestyle effects of 40g per day of bioactive whey protein concentrate powder mixed with water and matched placebo prior to (baseline) and after -6 and 12-week supplementation. The trial will utilise the COMPASS cognitive assessment system (Northumbria University) during the laboratory visits to measure performance on the cognitive tasks and a range of mood measures between visits examining general mood, stress, depression, anxiety, sleep quality, fatigue, and physical symptoms. Additionally, dairy dietary habits will be recorded throughout to allow for any significant changes to diet to be assessed for the potential influence on the outcome variables. Participants will be asked not to make any major changes to their diet or exercise regime for the duration of the trial. This will be checked by asking the participant if there has been any significant changes at each visit. Blood samples will also be taken from a subset of participants who opt into this part of the trial to measure any changes to plasma phospholipid profiles. 220 participants will participate, aged 25-49, and self-report as in good health. Participants will be supplied with the treatment whilst visiting the research centre on testing days and will then consume treatment at home daily. Participants will record the time they take their treatment each day in a diary that will then be returned to the research team at the end of the study testing period.
It is not known if an increase in fermented food intake relative to an individuals' habitual diet can lead to improvements in bloating, mood, or hunger levels, or increase energy levels (and reduce fatigue) in the general population. Acceptability of fermented foods across many different types of people and households is also unclear. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the potential effects of increasing fermented food intake on these outcomes, as well as the feasibility of this dietary change.
This is a virtual, single-arm clinical trial that will last 30 days. Participants will drink 1 bottle of the Vitamin Energy® shot daily and complete questionnaires at baseline, Day 7, Day 14, and Day 30. Participants' energy, mood, and cognitive function will be evaluated at baseline and at each check-in. Bodyweight will also be assessed at baseline and Day 30. Likert scale responses will be examined from baseline to each check-in. Participant responses on product feedback will be presented as % scores.
The sociocultural pressure towards women's body image is one of the problems that today afflicts much of the female population. It is a reality that society exerts a strong pressure on body image, particularly on women. The main objective of this study is to analyze the self-perception and self-esteem of people who apply a facial cosmetic. A convenience sample of 150 participants is estimated, who can be randomly included in one of the three groups with different interventions.
This is a placebo controlled clinical trial to assess the utility of light therapy as a sufficient treatment for excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome
Frailty is a common geriatric condition with significantly increased vulnerability to stress and susceptibility of negative health-related outcomes. Sacropenia and impaired cognitive function are two major contributors to frailty. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the combined use of exergaming and resistance training in improving the frailty of nursing home residents.
This study will examine the effects of type II diabetes on cognitive functions and mood in middle-aged patients. In addition, the association between cognitive functions and glycemic controls is studied in patients. Sixty patients and sixty healthy controls will be recruited and assessed by a multiprofessional team (neuropsychologist, physician).
