Active clinical trials for "Chronic Disease"

It is common for Veterans with injuries, illnesses, or physical disabilities to experience depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and other concerns. They may also have goals like becoming happier or better able to cope with challenges that life brings. The purpose of this research study is to learn whether Veterans like and benefit from a 5-week, group-based positive psychology program aimed at improving mental health, resilience, well-being, and quality of life. Participants will be asked to complete several assessments (surveys/interviews) over the course of the study that are not considered part of standard care. Additionally, participants will be asked to participate in a focus group at the end of the study to provide feedback about their experiences in the group.

The Center for Lifestyle Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute has a proven track record of engaging patients in healthy living and eating through education, live cooking demonstrations / hands-on cooking classes, exercise and stress management programs. As a result of the Community Health Needs Assessment, we are collaborating with Cleveland Clinic Community Outreach and 12th District Representative, John E. Barnes, Jr., to extend our expertise to the community of Warrensville Heights, Ohio.

In Colombia as in the world, chronic diseases occupy the first places of death being cardiovascular, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes mellitus are the most prevalent. The caregiver burden is reflected as an experience of constant attention, this routine is shown in the changes they undergo in their life, and the emotions cope at different stages of the process that arises chronic non-communicable disease from their family in demands care. Methodology: a randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to determine the effect of skill care program "Caring for the caregivers" to reduce the burden of care in carers of people with chronic non-communicable University Hospital in Los Comuneros in Bucaramanga. Results and expected impact: bring to the lines of research: Community Care: improve the ability of the care of family caregivers at home and increase the quality of life that people are able to chronicity. Clinical Care: Strengthens care ability of caregivers who are in health institutions. Management and Care Management: Promoting implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the educational proposal in order to create a network of support for family caregivers in Santander in extending the results to other institutions. The project results should allow participation in Extension and Social Projection, whose results will allow the implementation of an effective educational model for the care of patients with chronic non-communicable disease in Colombia. In addition, the consolidation of the alliance between Everest group at the University of Santander with the Latin American Network of chronic patient care and clinical Communards of Bucaramanga projects. Finally it is expected to consolidate training in the area of research students in undergraduate and graduate programs at the University of Santander.

A single center, single blinded, prospective validation (including extension0 study for the accuracy and safety evaluation of Neteera 130H, a novel, radar-based contact-free device for heart and respiratory rate measurements.

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and impact of delivering mobile health self-management interventions to improve adherence to the prescribed treatment in a multimorbid population returning home after hospital discharge.

The purpose of the present research protocol is to investigate and identify translocator protein 18kDa, MRI DTI, and EEG/ERPs, markers of Chronic Systemic Symptoms (CSS).

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness a 13-week community based nutrition education program to assist participants program in improving in physical and emotional well being and to assess if there are differences in outcomes based on a participant's socioeconomic status.

When patients survive a severe brain injury but fail to fully recover, they often enter a Disorder of Consciousness (DoC) --that is, a set of related conditions of decreased awareness and arousal including the Vegetative State (VS) and the Minimally Conscious State (MCS). When these conditions become chronic, there are no approved treatments to help bolster any further recovery. In prior work, we have shown the clinical feasibility and potential of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Pulsation (LIFUP) as a remarkably safe form of non-invasive brain stimulation in these conditions.

The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to learn about implementation of an intervention model, Advance Care Planning I Plan (ACP-I Plan), among older Latinos with chronic illnesses in community settings.

Currently, medical Internet resources are popular among the population of most countries, including Russia. So its can be used as a platform for mass measures of prevention. Now we can receive a lot of information about socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors and the presence of chronic non-infectious diseases among users of medical Internet resources. And these knowledges are necessary to create effective online interventions for prevention of the most common diseases. We have enough resources to identify and control risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases. But adherence to doctor's recommendations remains at a low level. Working with cognitive biases is one of the points of application for increasing adherence to treatment and the rules of a healthy lifestyle. Certain groups of patients have special cognitive biases. We assume that creation a typical portrait of a patient can reveal relationships and factors the variant of cognitive biases. This information may help to more effectively carry out preventive work with users of medical Internet resources, forming the correct patterns of perception and thereby improving adherence to the doctor's recommendations.
