Filter by:This pilot study aims at networking the experience gained in neurorehabilitation of developmental neurodisabilities from the 3 poles of IRCCS Medea (Brindisi, Bosisio Parini, and Conegliano) to assess the feasibility of performing home-based telerehabilitation on cognitive and motor aspects through the Khymeia Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) platform.
This is a open-label, randomized, paired design, multicenter study of the Cardiovascular Autonomic Nervous Function Multi-Parameter Evaluation System (R6000) for evaluating cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. R6000 is novel intellectual diagnostic device for cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests and heart rate variability analysis. A total of 85 subjects will be enrolled in trial Ⅰ and 150 subjects will be enrolled in trial Ⅱ. In trial Ⅰ, subjects will be randomized to two groups, one of which will receive test by the tested device first and the other one will be tested by conventional blood pressure kit. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Cardiovascular Autonomic Nervous Function Multi-Parameter Evaluation System. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of the cardiovascular autonomic testing system and stability.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the usefulness of information from insole-type gait analyzer in adults with subjective gait and balance disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: How useful is an insole-type gait analyzer for collecting gait data from patients with gait disturbances? Researchers will explore the usefulness of collected data and does not establish a control group. Participants will: Participants will conduct survey and perform the Timed up and go test wearing an insole-type gait analyzer.
Evaluation of the clinical effects of the Heart Rate Variability biofeedback training with patients suffering from Functional neurological Disorders compared with placebo.
CAIS-MT is a single-center, prospective cohort study, to evaluate the correlation between outcomes of endovascular treatment(EVT) and intracranial artery calcification(IAC) in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large or medium vessel occlusion.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if monitoring and providing feedback on the performance of a home-based exercise program using an insole gait analyzer to treat participants who have gait disorder. The investigators also learn about the satisfaction level of this insole type gait analysis system. The main questions it aims to to answer are: - What effect does providing monitoring and feedback using an insole-type gait analyzer have on walking patterns? - How satisfied are the experimental group participants with the use of the insole gait analyzer? Researchers will compare the experimental group that receives the insole-type gait analyzer with the control group that does not receive it. Participants will: - Receive an insole-type gait analyzer and receive training in a home-based exercise program. - During the 6-week program, participants will wear an insole-type gait analyzer and perform a home-based exercise program. - The investigators will conduct a satisfaction survey after 6 weeks.
The CLIMATE-II Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific health behavior, somatosensory amplification, risk and benefit perception, self-efficacy, health literacy, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
92 female cancer patients, aged from 18 to 75 years old (with a first diagnosis of breast cancer) who will receive Paclitaxel-based chemotherapy (12 weeks) as first line therapy, will be enrolled in the study and will be randomly assigned to either: - Group I: will receive the chemotherapy protocol or - Group II: will receive the chemotherapy protocol plus 600 mg daily dose of Alpha Lipoic Acid for 14 weeks (one week before the start of paclitaxel and continue till one week after the end of paclitaxel). * Blood samples will be withdrawn 2 times (week 1 and week 12) to measure the following: (Stored in -80 C till the end of the study) - Tumor Necrotizing Factor- alpha (TNF-α) by ELISA. - Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) by ELISA. * All patients will be subjected to 6 tests/questionnaires (week 1 - week 12 - week 24) to predict the functionality of the brain: - Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive (FACT-Cog) version 3 - Mini-Cog Test - Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) - Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) - Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) - Trail Making Test (TMT)
This study will examine the clinical effectiveness of Tafamidis in patients with Mixed Phenotype Transthyretin Amyloidosis using data that already exist in patients' medical records
Over the last decade many scientific articles have been published on motor learning in neurological and geriatric rehabilitation. To make the available findings comprehendible and clear for physiotherapists, a card set and website have been developed. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the use and experiences of the card set and website designed to aid the physiotherapist in decision making with regards to motor learning. The following research question is central to this evaluation: How are the developed card set and website used and experienced by physiotherapists in primary care during the treatment of patients with neurological or geriatric conditions?
