Filter by:It has been reported that non-pharmacological methods can be used as an alternative in addition to pharmacological methods to reduce pain, anxiety, stress and inflammatory response that begins with the surgical incision in the intraoperative period and continues throughout the operation. It has been reported that music can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological method to reduce pain and anxiety in the perioperative period, as well as surgical stress and the related stress response. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that music used as a non-pharmacological method in the intraoperative period can reduce inflammatory response in living donor hepatectomy.
The study aims to evaluate the sub-chronic effects of colonic delivery of a postbiotic on stress response, mood state, sleep, and cognition in healthy young subjects with elevated self-reported stress levels. It is hypothesized that oral intake of the postbiotic, when released in the colonic intestinal site, leads to a blunted subjective and objective stress response after a stress induction.
This clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of a 70-day consumption of cranberry juice on cognitive and motor accuracy, mental and physiological stress, and stress response in healthy men and women between the ages of 30 and 55 who engage in multitasking. The trial will utilize a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled design. It is worth noting that studies have shown that over half of middle-aged Americans experience stress, which can lead to cognitive decline and depression. Previous clinical trials have indicated that consuming polyphenol-rich foods can have positive effects on cognitive function in humans. However, no study to date has examined the long-term effects of cranberry juice consumption on cognitive performance, mental stress, and stress response specifically in individuals engaged in multitasking. Based on this gap in knowledge, the investigators hypothesize the following: (1) chronic consumption of cranberry juice will improve cognitive and motor accuracy, as well as mental and psychological stress responses in young adults subjected to intense multitasking. (2) cranberry juice consumption will alleviate the negative consequences of frequent intense multitasking, such as fatigue, mood fluctuations, cognitive impairment, and memory issues. Additionally, it is expected to have a positive impact on stress biomarkers and neurotransmitter levels. By conducting this clinical trial, the investigators aim to shed light on the potential benefits of cranberry juice consumption in improving cognitive performance, mitigating mental stress, and positively influencing stress responses in individuals who engage in intense multitasking.
The stress response is mediated by the activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system, leading to glucocorticoid and catecholamines release respectively. This stress response is regulated by feedback loops, involving cortical and subcortical structures. Non-invasive brain stimulation applied over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex modulates the subcortical dopaminergic transmission at rest and can reduce the hormonal and cognitive alterations induced by stress. This study aims to investigate the Non-invasive brain stimulation -induced modulation of dopamine transmission in an acute stress situation.
