Active clinical trials for "Fatigue"

The interventional part of the study aims to assess the acute effect of the Brain2Business (B2B) tool on creative thinking (primary objective) in adults with psychological disorders. Additionally, the study assesses the B2B effects on energy-related sensations and metabolism, technique adherence, gratefulness and goal-directed activation (secondary objectives) in adults with and without psychological disorders. The observational part of the study primarily aims to investigate the link between psychopathology, intelligence, energy-related sensations and metabolism validating the "c factor mito-bioenergetics" (CMB) model in a sample of adults with and without psychological disorders.

The goal of this interventional study is to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on the vital signs and fatigue levels of patients with renal transplantation.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the role of brain neurotransmission in the onset of fatigue, identify the brain areas involved, and determine how brain activity and neuromuscular efficiency changes during onset of fatigue. Three different experimental studies (physical fatigue, mental fatigue and combined) will be performed with a randomized, single-blinded, placebo controlled, counter-balanced, cross-over design. The objectives of the projects are as follows: To experimentally assess the role of a dopamine, and a noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor in the onset of exercise-induced fatigue To identify changes in brain activation associated with altered PF and fatigue perception To experimentally assess the effect of a NA or DA reuptake inhibitor on MF, brain activation and the sources of changes in brain activation To experimentally assess the role of brain neurotransmitters (DA, NA) in the interaction between mental and PF from a neurophysiological perspective. Participants will be healthy young adults. In each study, they will start with a familiarization trial followed by two experimental trials and one control trial with a randomized treatment order. At each visit, different drugs will be administered to elicit different neurotransmitter response. The trials will be performed at the MFYS exercise lab (BLITS, VUB campus Etterbeek, Boulevard General Jaques 271, 1050 Elsene (Brussels)). Depending on the type of study they are participating in, participants will perform three distinct tasks: In the first experimental study participants will perform a 60-min Stroop Task to elicit mental fatigue. In the second experimental study participants will perform a knee-extension exercise until exhaustion to elicit physical fatigue. In third experimental study participants will first preform a mental fatiguing task (Stroop taks) followed by physical fatigue task (knee extension). While participants will perform above mentioned task their EEG signal and heart rate will be measured. At the same time, participants will report on their subjective feeling of fatigue during these tasks. In addition, all participants will be administered cognitive tasks before and after the study, along with questionnaires. In the second and third experiments, tensiomyography and electromyography will also be recorded from the quadriceps muscle of the leg used for knee extension. Researchers will compare physiological and behavioural changes in response to specific neurotransmitter drug to answer the main question: what the role of a DA and a NA reuptake inhibitor on the onset of mental and physical fatigue is.

This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on fatigue, quality of life and comfort in hemodialysis patients. In our research, it is aimed to reduce fatigue, increase the quality of life and comfort level in hemodialysis patients with acupressure applied.

Chronic pain, fatigue and insomnia are classical symptoms of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, affecting seriously life quality. Non-pharmacological multicomponent approach is gaining relevance in Fibromyalgia treatment. However, nutrition and chronobiology are often not approached in-depth despite their potential. Furthermore, programs addressed to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are still scare. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a compact multidisciplinary group intervention based on nutrition, chronobiology and physical exercise in the improvement of lifestyle and life quality in Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue syndrome.

This study will determine the influence of a cognitive task performed during fatiguing contractions.

This research is a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of pranayama breathing exercise applied to caregivers of cancer patients on fatigue.

Multiple Myeloma occurs with damaging bone lesion, hypercalcemia, anemia and renal failure as a result of secretion of monoclonal protein in serum and/or urea and accumulation of plasma cells. The most common symptoms at the time of diagnosis are; fatigue, insomnia, bone pain and recurrent infections. In multiple myeloma patients, pain, fatigue and sleep problems are conditions that significantly affect the daily life activities of the individual and require planned nursing interventions for the solution. In this challenging process, a holistic approach should be adopted while planning the care practices of the patients, and non-pharmacological practices should be planned, which will enable the patient to perform the activities of daily life with minimum energy and maximum function. Acupressure, one of the non-pharmacological applications, is a complementary medicine method that ensures the proper functioning of the energy channels by applying pressure to the points on the energy-carrying meridians (these points are the same as acupuncture points) with fingers, palms or wrist bands without using needles, unlike acupuncture. In the literature, it is stated that acupressure is a pain-relieving, relaxing analgesic and immune system-strengthening supportive method rather than its therapeutic effect, and it relieves insomnia and fatigue and relieves the person. In addition, within the scope of the harmonization model; By teaching acupressure to patients by nurses, patients can be actively involved in their own symptom management. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the effect of self-acupressure applied to patients with multiple myeloma on pain, fatigue and sleep quality. The research will be conducted as a randomized, experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample of the study will consist of 52 Multiple Myeloma patients, 26 experimental and 26 control groups, who met the research criteria and accepted the study, between August 2022 and January 2023, in Hematology Clinic and Polyclinic of Fırat University Hospital. Patients in the experimental group will be asked to perform self-acupressure by showing and teaching the LI4, HT 7, ST36 and SP6 acupressure points by the researcher. Depending on the preparation and compression time on these 4 points, the patients will be asked to perform a total of 16 sessions for 4 weeks, for a total of 18 minutes, 2 days a week in the morning and afternoon. The 1st measurement will be obtained by applying the Patient Information Form, Visual Analog Scale "Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index (PUKI)" and Piper Fatigue Scale" to the patients in the experimental group at the pre-test stage before the application. After 4 weeks, the Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index (PUKI) and The second measurement will be obtained by applying the "Piper Fatigue Scale" again. No application will be made to the patients in the control group. In the pre-test phase, the 1st measurement will be obtained by applying only the Patient Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index (PUKI) and Piper Fatigue Scale. After 4 weeks, in the post-test phase, the second measurement will be obtained by re-applying the other forms except the Patient Information Form. The data will be analyzed using the SPSS 23 program. Shapiro Wilk test, t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test and Chi-square analysis will be used in the analysis of the data.

To test the efficacy of a web-based stepped collaborative care intervention to reduce symptoms of depression, pain, and fatigue and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) in advanced cancer patients and to reduce stress and depression, and fewer CVD risk factors in caregivers.

Introduction: Fatigue is a serious symptom that is seen in a significant portion of IBD patients and negatively affects the patient's quality of life. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of patient education on the management of fatigue, which is common in inflammatory bowel diseases. Material and methods: This study will be planned with nonrandomized control group, pretest-posttest design. It is planned that the sample group will consist of at least 84 patients, 42 of which are in the intervention group and 42 in the control group. The patients in the intervention group will be evaluated in terms of fatigue and factors that may affect it, and an individualized education program will be offered according to the needs of the patient.For the patients in the control group, only the scales used in data collection will be filled, and no education will be planned. One month after the first interviews, both groups will fill in the scales again.
