Filter by:The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 was pandemic since 2020. Vaccination is one of the most important measure to control the outbreak. The countries of the world started the vaccination since December, 2020. Taiwan started since March, 21st, 2021. Currently, Taiwanese people receive COVID-19 vaccination by either AZ or Moderna; Pfizer/BNT vaccine may import in the near future. The side effects post vaccination including injection site pain, fatigue, headache, myalgia, chills, arthralgia, fever, and so on. Incidence of side effects more frequent in young people than elders; more frequent in the first dose than second dose in AZ vaccine; more frequent in the second dose in Moderna or Pfizer/BNT vaccine. Taiwan V-watch is a system monitored by CDC for people proactive notification of side effects post COVID-19 vaccination. But it doesn't include the objective cardiovascular parameters, for example, heart rate, arrhythmia, blood pressure, central body temperature (ear temperature) and blood oxygen saturation level. This study aims to monitor the physiologic and psychologic effects, and side effects before and after COVID-19 vaccination in patients at high cardiovascular risk, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes, and arrhythmia or coronary artery disease. The investigators arrange two weeks of continuous home BP/HR monitoring (7 days pre- and post-vaccination) for evaluation of physiologic effects post vaccination. Due to fever noted in some people post-vaccination, the investigators also measure ear temperature, pulse oximetry, and environmental temperature and humidity, for the reference of BP monitoring. In conclusion, this study may provide important information of cardiovascular response and psychosocial effects after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination for proactive prevention of cardiovascular complications.
This project will be Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of percussive massage treatment with theragun on pain and muscle length on post exercise delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) of calf muscles in healthy population so that we can have best treatment option for people with delayed onset muscle soreness, duration will be of 6months,purposive sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from kasrat health and fitness club, will randomly allocated in two groups, baseline assessment will be done, group A will be treated with 5 minutes of percussive massage and 5 minuties of static stretching exercises, while group B will be managed with 5 minutes of static stretching exercises only. Assessment will be done via, Numeric Pain Rating Scale(NPRS), Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and goniometric measurements of passive ankle dorsi flexion for calf muscle length at baseline before intervention and immediately post intervention data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 25
The study is designed as a proof of concept, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of CHI-202 (cannabinoids and other ingredients) compared to placebo in the treatment of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
The objective of the study is to test the capacity of a five-day supplementation of Turmipure Gold® to improve exercise-induced muscle pain and function recovery in moderately active adults after exercise-induced muscle damage
The purpose of the study is to investigate Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and its effect on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and recovery time. The hypothesis is that people with JHS will experience increased DOMS when compared to non-hypermobile people. The results this study may assist and add to the body of knowledge when treating and exercising patients with JHS, as considerations can possibly be made when treating this population. Subjects with JHS may experience greater DOMS and require more time to recover between treatment sessions.
This study will measure the effects of topical application of sweet marjoram essential oil + grapeseed oil with massage on uterine cramping/pain post-IUD insertion/placement. The intention is to conduct a pilot study that could give a first look at the data to determine whether this line of research is worth pursuing with more time, effort, and resources. The results of this pilot study will provide adequate data (e.g., variance estimates) needed for obtaining reasonably reliable sample size estimates if larger studies are warranted in the future.
This clinical study aims to compare the efficacy of two brief psychological interventions: Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (BBIT) and Physical Self-Regulation or (PSR) delivered over telehealth for the management of chronic musculoskeletal orofacial pain conditions (local myalgia, myofascial pain, centrally mediated myalgia) in a tertiary orofacial pain clinic. It is hypothesized that both interventions will produce beneficial changes and exploratory analysis will aim to establish which intervention -if any- is better for each specific outcome.
Aging is associated with the loss of muscle mass and function (sarcopenia) and reduced tissue regenerative capacity. Eccentric exercise (ECC) is a model of RET that can be used with the elderly, due to the ability of the muscle to combine high muscle strength production with low energy cost. ECC contractions are significantly more damaging to the muscles and produce greater muscle strength, for these reasons there is a greater risk of inducing muscle damage before the muscle is able to adapt. Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) has some peculiar bromatological characteristics. The proteins contained in it, and in particular the potentially bioactive peptide sequences, can rapidly provide the amino acids necessary to promote muscle growth and repair during exercise. Furthermore, PR can be an important source of fatty acids, of which a significant amount of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) which are known to have important clinical effects on body composition and metabolic health and can have a systemic anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, the central hypothes is that PR consumed during RET can provide more energy substrates and improve muscle recovery. To date, no studies have studied its function on recovery from exercise nor in the elderly.
Subjects over age 50 with no previous resistance training sessions will be recruited at a subacute rehabilitation and long term care facility. Subjects will be asked to perform a series of eccentric upper arm curl exercises under physician supervision in order to induce muscle soreness. Afterwards, topical oil containing a 2% dilution of either eucalyptus or peppermint oil in fractionated coconut oil will be applied to the flexor surface of the proximal non-dominent arm, and plain fractionated coconut oil to the other arm. This will be repeated at 8 hours and 24 hours after exercise. Subjects will be asked to report their perceived level of muscle soreness using a visual analog scale survey 24, 48, and 72 hours after exercise.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a very common but mysterious pain disorder characterized by chronic widespread muscular pain. Fatigue, anxiety and depression are common comorbidities. The syndrome is commonly associated with several symptoms, including fatigue, sleeping disturbance, cognitive impairment, and comorbid pain syndrome, especially irritable bowel symptoms and temporomandibular disease. Anxiety and depression are common psychiatric co-morbidies. Daily stress is believed to trigger or aggravate pain conditions. These symptoms can markedly affect patients' quality of life, and even lead to disability. So far, the etiology and pathogenesis are largely unknown, and diagnostic biomarkers and curative treatment remain to be developed. Recent technological advances enable scientists to explore mechanisms by genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic researches. However, no definitive result has been concluded for clinical practice so far. In this study, the investigators use tailored questionnaires to evaluate fibromyalgia and associated symptoms, including numeric rating scale for soreness, widespread soreness index, Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and perceived stress scale. The investigators also use metabolomics and lipidomic approach to probe the potential pathophysiology of fibromyalgia. In our prior translation research (PMID: 32907805), the investigators found that excessive LPC16:0 resulting from lipid oxidization inflicts psychological stress-induced chronic non-inflammatory pain via activating ASIC3. In this content, our prior translational research identified a potential nociceptive ligand that causes fibromyalgia symptoms, which is likely to function as biomarkers for diagnosis or disease monitor. In the current clinical investigation, the investigators aim to reversely translate the novel findings in animal studies and validate the bio-significance of LPC16:0 for fibromyalgia with clinical approaches.
