Active clinical trials for "Fatigue"

The aim of this study was to illustrate surgeons' own perception of fatigue and the impact they felt it had on their performance. This was accomplished through a focus group study, where 13 surgeons participated.

This is an observational, non-controlled, multicentric, prospective study planned to be conducted in 66 subjects diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 20 centres of Argentina. Fatigue is recognized as one of the most frequent symptoms of MS with a high incidence in MS subjects. The link between fatigue and the degree of disability and other manifestations of the disease, such as depression has not been yet clearly understood. Hence, this study aims to understand the way in which fatigue impairs the quality of life (QoL) of MS subjects. This epidemiologic study can contribute to a better understanding of the way in which fatigue correlates with depression and the intensity with which both situations impact on the QoL of MS subjects.

The aim of this study was to assess the relevance of NRI or athletes' NRI (ANRI) utilization to detect nutrition-related risks of failure in competition in the particular population of rowers. In the morning, 60 to 90 minutes before the first race of a national level multi-races competition (three races for each subjects), body weight were measured and blood samples were collected with subjects at rest and in post-absorptive condition (last meal at least 2.5 hours before blood collection). Body weight was also recorded in the same conditions six weeks before the competition to calculate weight state (actual weight /usual weight ´ 100) and subjects were asked to identify the date of diet beginning. Body weight was measured using a floor scale (Mettler-Toledo floor scale, France), body mass index (BMI) was calculated from the ratio of weight (in kg) by height squared (in meters) and training volume (total duration of training in a week) was determined after discussion with athletes and coaches.

Objectives: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a medically unexplained condition characterized by severe and disabling fatigue. To date much research has focused on finding out whether CFS is caused by mainly physical or psychological factors. Perhaps as a result of this, few studies have examined the relationship between CFS and quality of life, in particular, more positive aspects of mental health, such as an individual's sense of purpose, autonomy and close relationships. This study will address these limitations by examining Ryff's (1989) six domains of psychological well-being (PWB), and other aspects of well-being including positive emotions, in CFS. It will also examine the relationship between measures of symptomology, emotional distress and PWB. Method: This is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study with a clinical sample of adults with CFS. Participants will complete valid measures of well-being and symptomology. Results: We expect to find that compared to general population norms, individuals with CFS score lower on measures of PWB. Secondly, we expect PWB dimensions will be related to symptom measures. There are however, no grounds for making strong predictions. Implications: This study will advance our understanding of quality of life in CFS. Clinically, it has the potential to enrich and inform therapeutic interventions.

This study will assess compassion fatigue among healthcare providers in a single emergency department (ED) using the Professional Quality of Life (ProQoL) scale.

Background: Chronic fatigue (CF) is a prominent symptom in many sarcoidosis patients, affecting quality of life (QoL) and interfering with treatment. This study investigates neuropsychobiological mechanisms and markers of CF in sarcoidosis.

The main objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of a coached physical activity program in the form of an accompanied and adapted water polo program by evaluating the interest aroused in patients for this proposal. treatments (number of participants and sessions performed).

To collect blood and urine samples from patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), and SEID (Systemic Exertion Intolerance Syndrome) and controls for genomic, viral and metabolomic testing.

In this case-control study, two- and three-dimensional landing biomechanics, by means of lower limb joint angles and moments (opto-electronic system with synchronised force plate), will be compared between 30 male volleyball/basketball players with a history of patellar tendinopathy and 30 healthy controls.

The main purpose of the study is to assess the fatigue, cognition, quality of life and disability correlation to MS-patients daily physical activity.
