Active clinical trials for "Fatigue"

This study evaluates the effectiveness of medium-term supplementation with creatine to improve clinical outcomes in well-defined adult CFS population. Half of the participants will receive creatine while the other half will receive placebo.

Patients with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or post acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) and abnormal growth hormone secretion, as measured by glucagon stimulation test, will be treated with replacement growth hormone therapy for a period of 6 months (mTBI) or 9 months (PASC). Testing of cognition, exercise, fatigue, brain activation and morphology, body composition and measurements of quality of life will be performed before and after the treatment period. Fecal sampling for characterization of the GI microbiome will occur monthly over the treatment period. Control subjects will be enrolled and will provide fecal samples monthly for 6 months. GI microbiomes will be compared between mTBI patients, PASC patients and controls at baseline as well as over the treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an educational professional development program designed to assist health care professionals in developing self-awareness and self-care choices as a means to avoid compassion fatigue and improve resilience.

This is a multi-site randomized clinical trial comparing 3 modes of delivering the Managing Fatigue course for reducing fatigue in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). The primary hypothesis is that the teleconference and internet versions of the course will be noninferior to the one-on-one, in person version in terms of the primary outcome of fatigue and secondary outcome of quality of life.

Like other cancer treatments, radiation therapy can make people feel fatigued, or tired. The investigators think that moderate exercise, done 15 minutes at a time, can reduce the fatigue. This study is designed to gather more information, so that in the future, doctors can recommend whether patients should engage in exercise during a radiation treatment course.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the Swank Diet (low saturated fat) and the Wahls Elimination Diet (modified paleo) on fatigue levels in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who have documented fatigue. Participants will follow their usual diet for 12 weeks and then be randomly assigned to follow one of the two diets for 24 weeks.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if panax ginseng (commonly called ginseng) can help to control fatigue and other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and mood changes in patients with cancer. The safety of ginseng will also be studied.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in participants with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does SGB treatment improve symptoms of ME/CFS (e.g. brain fog, fatigue)? Do changes in symptoms go along with changes in blood or saliva? Participants will receive a total of six blocks over three weeks (one block on each side, one day apart, per week). Prior to treatment and at two points following treatment, participants will complete surveys, take a cognitive (puzzle type) test, and provide blood and saliva for analysis. Participants will measure their heart rate daily using a free smart phone app.

Chronic fatigue is highly prevalent in patients with conditions characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, also known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Chronic fatigue has multiple causes, including alterations in immune system or gut microbiota, psychological factors, and sleeping problems. Unsurprisingly, fatigue has been associated with decreased quality of life, general well-being, and work productivity. Very few patients experience resolution in fatigue, emphasizing the need for new therapies. It has been shown that lifestyle interventions can improve most of fatigue-driving factors. Hence, the investigators hypothesize that a multimodal lifestyle intervention focusing on nutrition, sleep, stress, and exercise will improve chronic fatigue in patients with IBD. During this multicenter, controlled trial, the investigators will compare a multimodal lifestyle intervention to a standard therapy (i.e., an informational brochure on how to cope with chronic fatigue).

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the effect of different combinations of exercise, supportive counseling, and methylphenidate/placebo for the treatment of fatigue in patients with prostate cancer. The safety of this treatment combination will also be studied. Methylphenidate is a stimulant designed to increase the activity of the central nervous system. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any symptom, disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect. The exercise in this study is designed to help improve your physical fitness and energy levels. Supportive counseling is designed to help to control symptoms, fatigue, anxiety, depression, pain, and/or sleep disorders.
