Active clinical trials for "Fatigue"

Physical activity has demonstrated efficacy in cancer prevention and improves quality of life and outcome in cancer survivors. Patients undergoing chemotherapy, especially those with advanced disease, may have symptoms leading to inactivity. Adapted physical activity (APA) among those patients could improve their tolerance to the treatment, and thereby their quality of life. APA could be beneficial to patients with curable disease as well as patients undergoing palliative chemotherapy. Some studies suggest that fighting against loss of muscle mass could lead to a survival benefit. However, APA is not established in daily practice and has not yet been evaluated in a chemotherapy ambulatory care unit. Primary aim of the study is to assess feasibility of an APA program in a chemotherapy ambulatory care unit of digestive, lung, hematological and dermatological cancers Secondary aim is to measure the impact of an APA program on fatigue, anxiety, depression and handgrip strength in patients beginning chemotherapy or targeted therapy for a digestive, lung, hematological or dermatological cancer, of any stage.

There is a paucity of studies that focus on the symptom burden of cancer patients in Singapore, particularly the clinical effects of cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Knowing that early-stage breast cancer is curable, it is of paramount importance to evaluate the clinical and biological determinants of lingering symptoms in breast cancer survivors so that appropriate psychosocial interventions can be formulated.

This study is set out to observe heart-rate and related bio-metric indicators in Obstetrics and Gynecology residents during their duty hours, together with self-reporting of fatigue and tasks performances, in order to model possible relationships between the two.

Axial spondyloarthropathy (SpA) is the most common inflammatory rheumatism (1% of the general population) with important medico-economic consequences. Fatigue is a major feature of SA. It can be defined as a feeling of reduced muscle capacity, lack of energy and exhaustion. The fatigue reaches an abnormally high level (fatigue severity score (FSS) ≥4, called severe fatigue in this protocol) in more than two thirds of patients with SA. Skeletal muscle repercussions are present during SA. It is characterized by a decrease in exercise capacity independently of pain and ankylosis but is associated with a decrease in strength and muscle mass, the importance of which varies from one study to another. The link between fatigue (subjective sensation) and the skeletal muscular impact (objective) of SA has never been studied.

The purposes of this study are to (1) explore the severity of symptom of leukemia patients experienced before and after chemotherapy in hospital, (2) investigate the trajectories of the fatigue and physical fitness, and their related factors, and (3) the correlation between fatigue and physical fitness

The aim of this study is to evaluate the evolution and possible factors associated with the persistence of fatigue in patients with quiescent IBD and fatigue included in two previous studies.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of changes in foot structure on physical activity level, fatigue and quality of life in COPD patients.

The purpose of this project is to provide further insights into the neurophysiology behind the MF-induced impairment in endurance performance. The aim is to perform a randomized controlled trial in which we partly replicate studies of Marcora et al. (2009) and Bigliassi et al. (2017), while extensively monitoring brain activity during the entire protocol (i.e. both cognitive and physical tasks) by using EEG.

The overall study aims are to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of More Stamina, a mobile app for fatigue self-management for persons with MS.

The study aims to investigate, through serial measurements of some biomarkers, the potential mechanisms through which yoga impacts on QOL and fatigue.
