Increasing Men's Engagement in Preventive Healthcare Through an Enhanced Cocoon Vaccination Strategy

Start date: October 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if offering a high touch engagement with healthcare center catered to men and bedside vaccine access in a birthing center increases men's engagement in preventive healthcare. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does access to vaccinations and overall health education for men lead to increased uptake of vaccines? Does access to vaccinations and overall health education for men lead to increased engagement in overall healthcare of male identifying support persons. Researchers will compare three arms (one that receives information only, one that receives information and an offer of vaccines at bedside, and one that receives higher level of engagement from patient liaisons as well as the offer of vaccines at bedside) to see if there is a difference in vaccine uptake and engagement in healthcare Participants will complete two survey and one interview.

NCT ID: NCT06406192 Recruiting - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Effects of FOR-Care Model on Preventive Medicine

Start date: March 11, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to address the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes by assessing the impact of the FOR-Care model on preventive medicine. The model focuses on improving the documentation of blood pressure, height, and weight in outpatient settings. Through a cluster randomized trial at National Taiwan University Hospital, clinics will either implement the FOR-Care model or continue with usual care. The trial will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in documenting these measurements and its impact on diagnosing hypertension and diabetes. The outcomes will provide valuable insights into enhancing preventive medicine and improving care for chronic diseases.

NCT ID: NCT05450263 Recruiting - Preventive Medicine Clinical Trials

Preventing Chronicity of Sub-acute Low Back Pain by Altering the Neural Emotional Response to Pain

Start date: September 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Aim of the study It could be stated that chronification of low back pain in some respects depends on the emotional reactions to the acute pain state. This approach enables advancing novel therapeutics for preventing pain chronification by altering the pain-related affective states. At present, no publication evaluating the efficacy of IET in altering brain responses related to sub-acute low back pain seems available. Neither have we found any studies specifically addressing the efficacy of mindfulness training on the functional connection between PFC and NAc. The aim of this study project is three-fold: 1. A systematic literature review of behavioural methods in the prevention of low back pain chronicity Orenius T, Silén E, Nuortimo A, Ristolainen L. Psychological interventions in preventing chronicity of sub-acute back pain: a systematic review. Scand J Pain. 2022 Jan 24;22(2):211-217. doi: 10.1515/sjpain-2021-0063. PROSPERO: CRD42019053580 2. A pilot study (n=7+7) to address the efficacy and feasibility of IET in preventing chronicity of sub-acute pain 3. A full scale study (n=20+20) addressing the efficacy and feasibility of IET in the prevention of chronicity of sub-acute low back pain

NCT ID: NCT04743050 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

The ALA, DHA and EPA Esters in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases.

OMEGA
Start date: December 9, 2020
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (EFAs) have a significant impact on human health, even before birth. Their supplementation is recommended at all ages, especially in people with cardiolovascular risks. The most valuable proven action of EFAs is the improvement of the lipid profile (including increase in HDL, the so-called "good cholesterol" and lowering LDL, the so-called "bad cholesterol"), preventing the development of atherosclerosis, strokes and heart attacks. We distinguish three fractions of EFAs: EPA, DHA and ALA. The best known are EPA and DHA, but in recent years the interest in ALA fraction has increased, as it is the only fraction that has pronounced anti-inflammatory properties, but also only ALA is not produced by the human body and must be supplied with food. We believe that the supplementation of the ALA fraction is as important as the supplementation of the well-known and recommended EPA and DHA fractions, moreover it also brings unique benefits. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the benefits of EFAs in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the group of adults. In the project, we also want to compare the benefits of supplementing various fractions. Each volunteer will be randomly assigned to one of 4 groups. Group No. 1 will be a group without the supplementation of essential fatty acids (EFAs), group No. 2 will receive supplementation with pure ALA fraction, group No. 3 will receive supplementation with EPA and DHA fractions, and group No. 4 will receive supplementation with all fractions, i.e. ALA, EPA and DHA. All persons from groups 1-4 will be examined three times: at the beginning, after three months and after six months (at the end of the project). The tests will include: blood pressure measurements, non-invasive measurements of body mass and composition, and laboratory tests: CRP, fasting glucose, lipid profile, and blood count. Both preparations for acid supplementation and tests are completely free for participants. Participation in the study is voluntary and is not associated with any health risk.

NCT ID: NCT04406441 Active, not recruiting - Pediatric Obesity Clinical Trials

Patient-Clinic-Community Integration to Prevent Obesity Among Rural Preschool Children

ENCIRCLE
Start date: August 17, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this research study is to compare two enhancements to well-child visits at Geisinger designed to promote family-centered counseling for the prevention of obesity in a high-risk population of rural, lower income, preschool-aged children. Compared to the standard well-child visit, enhancements will offer advantages to obesity prevention, parent involvement in counseling, lifestyle behaviors, and food resource management.

NCT ID: NCT03805373 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Validation of a Diet Risk Screening Tool

DRS
Start date: January 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 1 in 4 deaths in the US annually. Nutrition is an important part of prevention and management of CVD and other chronic diseases, but only about 25% of patients with a chronic disease diagnosis (and about 12% of patients without a chronic disease) receive nutrition counseling from their physician. The investigators plan to validate a diet questionnaire in preparation for the creation of a diet assessment/ intervention tool to increase rates of nutrition intervention in medical care. The aim of this project is to test whether the developed questionnaire accurately identifies individuals at high nutritional risk compared to the Healthy Eating Index- 2015 (HEI-2015) determined by a validated questionnaire.

NCT ID: NCT03640182 Active, not recruiting - Health Promotion Clinical Trials

Promotion Project of Health Management Model for Chinese Medical Preventive Medicine

Start date: July 2, 2018
Phase: N/A

NCT ID: NCT03629418 Recruiting - Acute Kidney Injury Clinical Trials

Targeted Blood-pressure Management and Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Start date: August 14, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Acute renal injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with worse outcomes. It is now realized that intraoperative hypotension is an important risk factor for the development of AKI. In a recent randomized controlled trial of patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery, intraoperative individualized blood-pressure management reduced the incidence of postoperative organ dysfunction. The investigators hypothesize that, for patients undergoing off-pump CABG, targeted blood-pressure management during surgery may also reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI.
