Filter by:The objective of this clinical trial is to verify whether the beneficial effects of weight loss on visceral fat measured by computed tomography and metabolic risk factors for coronary heart disease are maintained once high-risk patients without symptoms and with visceral obesity and dyslipidemia are stabilized and maintained for two additional years after a one-year weight loss (5-10%) program. Before entering the study, after the one-year intervention program, and after the 2-year maintenance period, participants will be asked to take part in multiple assessments: fasting lipid profile and apolipoproteins measurements, oral glucose tolerance test, anthropometric measurements, computed tomography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, oral lipid tolerance test, measurements of inflammatory markers, physical activity and dietary diaries, cardiorespiratory fitness assessed by a submaximal treadmill test, and measurements of resting and exercise blood pressure. During the one-year intervention, participants will be closely monitored by the study's dietitians and kinesiologists to achieve the target weight loss. Dieticians will not recommend a daily energy deficit greater than 500 calories and will focus on foods rather than the nutrient composition of the diet. Participants will have access to the dieticians at all time, and appointments every two months will be required during the first year. Regarding physical activity, kinesiologists will supervise the exercise prescription which will aim at 160 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic-exercise. The physical activity prescription will be adjusted by the kinesiologist according to the participant's preferences and habits. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a worsening in some features of the metabolic syndrome over the two-year weight maintenance period. However, it is suggested the greater the weight loss during the intervention, the less marked the deterioration will be. Finally, the investigators put forward that even in the absence of weight loss during the intervention, the lifestyle modification program will prevent visceral fat accumulation expected to be observed over the two-year maintenance period in the control group maintaining their usual behaviour.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Electromyographic Biofeedback with proprioception exercises on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, proprioception and functionality in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of vaginal Carbon Dioxide Laser treatment in patients with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause on the improvement of Vulvovaginal Atrophy (VVA) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by objective parameters and in particular to assess the ultrasound measurement of specific vaginal parameters in order to evaluate a new objective tool of assessment.
this is open labelled randomize control trial among women with PCOS. PCOS, an endocrine condition, affects 5%-15% of premenopausal women. PCOS is characterized by atypical menstruation, ovulation difficulties, hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, and other metabolic abnormalities. Metformin is now an option for PCOS. The clinical reactions to metformin are limited and varied. Novel SGLT2 inhibitors treat type 2 diabetes with weight loss, insulin resistance reduction, and cardiovascular benefits. There is little evidence on SGLT2 inhibitor effectiveness in PCOS patients.
Upper cross syndrome (UCS) is a common muscles related postural disorder which is increasing every new day that is affecting the health related quality of life. It is most prevalent amongst the individuals who work at computers or laptops, or on desks. The UCS is caused by poor posture. Weak core musculature leads to poor body posture causing chronic degenerative changes and disturbing body alignment and body equilibrium. Core stability exercises (CSE) are a good strategy to improve body posture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of muscle energy technique (MET) combined with the strengthening of deep neck flexors with and without core stability exercise to manage Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) patients.
This study aimed to determine the distribution of pain sensitivity according to body segments in patients with central sensitization associated with chronic subacromial pain syndrome (SPS).This cross-sectional study included patients with chronic SPS and central sensitization (patient group) and the same number of healthy participants as controls. The presence of central sensitization was determined using the Central Sensitization Inventory. To determine the segmental distribution of pain sensitivity, pressure pain threshold measurements were performed bilaterally from the shoulder, forearm, and leg.
This study aims to investigate the impact of impact of strain counterstrain technique on pain, lumbar range of motion and functional impairment in patients with lower back Myofascial pain syndrome.
It is aimed to compare the effect of two different splints on carpal tunnel syndrome in pregnant individuals after 4 weeks of use.
Trisomy 21 is a condition where there's an extra chromosome 21, which leads to a set of clinical signs called Down syndrome. Down syndrome is one of the most complicated genetic conditions that can occur post-term and is the most commonly survivable form of aneuploidy of the autosomal chromosomes. Dohsa hou is a type of psychomotor therapy that helps improve psychological problems by using bodily movements, sensation and relaxation experience. It was first developed under the name psycho-rehabilitation to help children with cerebral palsy improve their movements and posture. By using Dohsa hou movement's issues were effectively addressed in children with cerebral palsy, despite their physical limitations being caused by physiological disorders. There are two kind of treatments of Dohsa hou exercises that are relaxation therapy to decrease the stress level in body and other one is to align the body to correct the posture and movements of the body.
Aim: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a systemic disease of connective tissue, it can also contribute to sarcopenia and chronic musculoskeletal pain with common pathways. 1. First aim of this study was to investigate whether the rate of sarcopenia is higher in patients with PEX 2. Second aim was to investigate the association between PEX, sarcopenia parameters and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: A total of 96-patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: PEX-positive (n=48) and PEX-negative (n=48) patients. The variables: the demographic data, sarcopenia parameters (SARC-F-questionnaire, hand-grip strength, chair-rise test, gait speed) and pain parameters (having any chronic musculoskeletal pain, pain regions and visual analogue scale-pain).
