Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The cases of COVID-19 are continuing to be confirmed around the world. In the clinical settings, the nurses in evacuation acute wards are main responsibility to undertake the care of emergency patient follow-up and suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. Those nurses have to face the high psychological pressure, unknown panic, fear and so on. Thus, the study plans to invite nurses who are working in evacuation acute wards to participate the project called "Remote Psychological Support Group (RPSG)". The study supposes "RPSG" could improve nurses' self-efficacy, fear of COVID-19, psychological distress, and quality of life.

To further characterize Long COVID-19 by collecting data from individuals who already own wearable devices or are provided with a wearable device along with basic and enhanced educational materials to determine if both can improve Long COVID-19 symptom management and post-exertional malaise.

The evidence-based Concordant Care approach involves engaging in processes that: 1) validate the patient's experience, 2) develop a shared understanding of the condition, and 3) create a patient-centered, whole health-oriented action plan to manage the condition. This is consistent with published expert opinion that Concordant Care underlies patients' (and clinicians') positive experiences of care for poorly understood conditions. Despite strong evidence supporting this care approach, there are no interventions to train clinicians on practices to provide Concordant Care for Veterans with poorly understood conditions such as Long-COVID. Part 1 of the study will optimize and test if a Concordant Care training improves VA clinicians' engagement in recommended practices to provide Concordant Care (i.e., validate, shared understanding, action plan) for Veterans with Long-COVID. This study will adapt and refine Concordant Care training for Long-COVID. Part 2 of this study will determine if Concordant Care training increases clinicians' engagement in recommended practices to provide Concordant Care and will explore the effectiveness of Concordant Care on care outcomes including satisfaction, adherence to care, & disability for Veterans with Long-COVID. Veterans treated by clinicians receiving Concordant Care training will report their clinician more frequently engaged in recommended conversations (i.e., ask about Long-COVID, validate experience with Long-COVID, create a shared understanding and action plan), and Veterans will perceive greater shared understanding of Long-COVID with their clinicians than Veterans treated by clinicians in the control arm.

The study aims to evaluate whether evidence-based fact boxes on COVID-19 and influenza vaccination contribute to the decision making of laypeople from different social backgrounds in different educational settings (e.g. medical practices, outreach work). Furthermore, the study will investigate whether evidence-based fact boxes can contribute to more equitable health care by improving shared decision-making.

The study is a phase II, randomized, 2-arm parallel-group, double-blind study to explore the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of KAND567 versus placebo in COVID-19 subjects in need of oxygen treatment. The target was to include forty (40) subjects with diagnosed COVID-19 for participation in the study. If at screening all criteria for study participation were fulfilled and informed consent signed, the subject was enrolled and randomized into one of the two arms. After randomization, the subjects were to receive KAND567 or placebo treatment for 7 days. After the treatment period the subjects returned to ordinary clinical follow-up, but a study follow-up visit was to be planned for Day 21 and 90.

Using detailed serial cross-sectional estimates of the age-specific distribution of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant-specific antibody positivity levels, we derived age-specific infection attack rates and age-specific population immunity levels and tracked the magnitude of individual-level and population-level waning immunity over time. Our findings will inform health policy makers on devising future public health and social measures and vaccination guidance in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Some recent studies demonstrated caregivers may experience negative emotions such as anxiety and sadness, which may also affect normal treatment during the epidemic. As the pandemic continues, mental health support, encouragement , and a sense of purpose are needed to support healthcare workers.

The rapid development of safe and effective COVID-19 treatment is a global health priority. Numerous studies evaluating therapies for this disease are currently underway, but the majority of these are in hospitalized patients with severe illness. Consequently, there is an urgent need to identify therapies that prevent mild COVID-19 cases in the community from becoming more severe. "Proning" or lying face down in bed has been shown to improve breathing and oxygen levels in COVID-19 patients, reducing the need for breathing tubes and ventilators and increasing survival. The current study will investigate whether proning and repositioning (lying on one's side or sitting up) can prevent mild cases of COVID-19 from becoming more severe resulting in fewer hospitalizations and death. A randomized controlled trial will be used to reduce the risk of bias when testing this intervention. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated adult patients with a positive COVID-19 test willing to participate and well enough to be treated outside the hospital will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a home-proning intervention group with instructions and daily reminders to prone and reposition during the day and at night, and a standard care group. Our goal is to assess whether home-proning/repositioning leads to fewer hospitalizations and death when compared with standard care. We'll also compare recovery time, use of antibiotics and follow up emergency department visits between these two groups. The current pilot study will assess the feasibility of a larger investigation or "main trial", meaning it will be small scale test of methods and procedures to be used on a larger scale.

The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CPM nasal spray as part of the treatment of COVID-19 and its impact on clinical symptoms. Two cohort groups will be compared (CPM vs. standard care). The hypothesis to be tested is that patients treated with CPM nasal spray showed more rapid clinical improvement than those treated with standard of care alone. Clinical improvement will be evaluated by the total number of days with the manifestation of COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, nasal congestion, ageusia, and anosmia, among others. The rate of hospitalization between the cohorts will also be evaluated.

To assess the long-term safety of TURKOVAC in individuals who have not previously received the COVID-19 vaccine or who have received their primary vaccination with inactivated or mRNA vaccine, or who have received their primary vaccination with similarly inactivated or mRNA vaccine and who subsequently received the first dose or second dose of booster vaccine, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the study.
