Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This is a non-interventional study to perform the clinical performance evaluation of the Starfish Test using prospectively collected matched nasopharyngeal and nasal swab samples from the same donor. In order to meet the minimum sample requirements, and to demonstrate performance on a range of viral strains, the prospective collection may be supplemented with banked remnant nasal and/or nasopharyngeal samples.

The goal of this prospective multicentric study is to evaluate the presence of long-term pulmonary sequelae in patients who had required hospitalization for treating COVID-19 pneumonia, trough chest CT and pulmonary function tests (PFT). Secondly we would like to evaluate the possible correlation between the chest CT findings and pulmonary function tests pre-existing co-morbidities and type of therapy used during hospitalization.

This qualitative study, combining psychiatric and anthropological perspectives, focused on the development and/or worsening of patients' eating disorders since Covid-19, as well as the experiences and perceptions of those around them - such as their family, teachers or staff. School and nursing staff. This multi-site approach will provide a multidimensional perspective on the experience of individuals and those around them, as well as a triangulation of data. The hypotheses to explain the increase in Eating Disorders (EDs) will be addressed through semi-structured interviews offered to study participants.

The prospective study was conducted at a single location within the COVID-19 department of a city hospital. The study included COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in the COVID-19 service and consulted for physiotherapy, were between the ages of 18 and 65, and had the capacity and inclination to participate in one daily physiotherapy session five days per week.

With the decreasing virulence of omicrons strain, the current domestic epidemic prevention policy has been changed based on the health of the people and the development needs of the country. At present, the infection rate of the novel coronavirus in China is rising rapidly. Previous studies have found that patients with chronic liver disease are more likely to be co-infected with coronavirus disease 2019 and have a worse prognosis. Based on its unique immune mechanism and therapeutic drugs, patients with autoimmune liver disease also have very different manifestations after infection with the novel coronavirus. By observing the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with autoimmune liver disease complicated with coronavirus disease 2019, this study analyzed the roles of vaccines, immunosuppressive agents and ursodeoxycholic acid , and explored the immune mechanism behind them, so as to seek new anti-coronavirus disease 2019 drugs and provide new strategies for clinical prevention and treatment.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease where the body is unable to metabolize carbohydrates properly either due to a lack of insulin production or abnormal insulin function. In recent times, it has been considered a global healthcare concern because of its high prevalence rate (9.2 %) and other associated health consequences. After being infected with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), the Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) sufferer experiences the following symptoms; reduced exercise tolerance, decreased muscle strength, altered respiratory functions, cognitive impairments and abnormal psychosomatic behaviour, which affects the overall well-being of the patient. To prevent or delay these clinical features and the associated consequences of type 2 Diabetes mellitus, the regular body works out and physical training is suggested either alone or in combination with diet modification. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that 12 months of supervised tele-physical therapy can positively influence patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus following COVID-19 infection. The reports of the study would be helpful for the clinicians and the physical therapists to make this as evidence for using tele-physical therapy in type 2 Diabates mellitus patients.

Aimed to understand if yoga exercises are superior to posture exercises as an alternative exercise therapy for relieving musculoskeletal pain, improving functional status, and improving quality of life during the post- corona virus disease (COVID-19) period?

This is a randomized, open-label phase II study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of etoposide in patients with the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. Randomization will be performed with a 3:1 allocation ratio. Treatment will be comprised of etoposide administered intravenously at a dose of 150 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 4 in patients with COVID-19 infection meeting eligibility criteria. Subsequent doses of etoposide will be allowed if the investigator and treating physician believe the patient had clinical benefit from etoposide therapy but subsequently has evidence of recurrent clinical deterioration. Subjects randomized to control will receive standard of care treatment. No placebo will be used.

A randomised controlled trial designed to test whether an online expressive writing intervention (LIO-C) can reduce distress for English-speaking adults during the global COVID19 pandemic. Hypothesis: LIO-C will improve distress (as measured by K10) in adults at 1 week post-intervention compared to a neutral writing control during the COVID19 pandemic.

To evaluate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 genome in patients with asymptomatic and moderately symptomatic COVID19.
