Active clinical trials for "Fatigue"

Dietary nitrate (NO3-) supplementation has been shown to improve skeletal muscle contractility and fatigue resistance, particularly in fast-twitch (type II) muscle fibers. Furthermore, NO3- supplementation has been shown to speed reaction time. Taken together, these findings suggest that NO3- ingestion may be ergogenic during all-out sprint running and reactive agility tasks. Moreover, increasing muscle force production at high contraction speeds would be expected to translate into improved muscle power and, subsequently, improved performance in very explosive forms of exercise, such as vertical jumping. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to assess the effect of short term (5 days) NO3- supplementation on linear running sprint performance, reactive agility and vertical jump performance in a rested and fatigued state.

The purpose of this study is to examine two mechanistic changes: emotion processing (awareness, expression and acceptance) and cholinergic anti-inflammatory processes (HRV and cytokine expression) through which an Art Therapy (AT) intervention reduces depression, pain and fatigue.

This study is a controlled pilot study with 17 participants with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The primary goal of this study is to objectively examine the effects of a multimodal dance intervention on walking-related performance fatigability. The secondary aim is to investigate the effects of a multimodal dance intervention on other MS symptoms related to fatigue and fatigability. The following research questions will be addressed: Does a multimodal dance intervention have positive effects on walking-related fatigability? Does a multimodal dance intervention have positive effects on other MS symptoms related to fatigue and fatigability?

This study carried out in the HD unit of a large-scale training and research hospital, and at a dialysis center associated with this hospital located in Ankara, Turkey. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms. Arm 1: Intervention group Arm 2: Control group Hypothesis 1. The HD patients in the 8-week intervention of BRT combined with music therapy will report lower fatigue scores than those in the control group. Hypothesis 2. The HD patients in the 8-week intervention of BRT combined with music therapy will perceive lower anxiety and depression than those in the control group.

Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the effect of reflexology on sleep quality and fatigue in postmenopausal women.

The dual task (walking and cognitive task at the same time) is increasingly used in geriatrics in protocols for detecting people who are falling and/or for highlighting cognitive disorders. However, frail elderly people tend to get tired quickly and a lack of awareness of the effects of fatigue on dual-task performance could alter the diagnosis. There are two types of fatigue: mental fatigue and peripheral muscle fatigue. Each participant will do both types of fatigue over 2 appointments spaced by 7 days so that the subject can recover from induced fatigue. The sequence of fatigue tasks will be randomized. At the first appointment (day 0): Pre-fatigue assessment : The subject must walk on 10m with round trip for 1min. the subject must do the arithmetic count of 3 in 3 Then comes the evaluation in double task (walking and counting at once for 1min). The subject must walk on 10m with round trip for 1min by doing the arithmetic count of 3 in 3 at the same time. mental fatigue task or muscle fatigue task (randomized) post-fatigue assessment (the same as pre-fatigue assessment) 7 resting days Second appointment (day 7) Pre-fatigue assessment : The subject must walk on 10m with round trip for 1min. the subject must do the arithmetic count of 3 in 3 Then comes the evaluation in double task (walking and counting at once for 1min). The subject must walk on 10m with round trip for 1min by doing the arithmetic count of 3 in 3 at the same time. mental fatigue task or muscle fatigue task (randomized) post-fatigue assessment (the same as pre-fatigue assessment)

The primary purpose is to test the short-term effects of the acute consumption of two novel beverages made from coffeeberries, the fruit of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica) benchmarked against caffeine on several aspects of cognitive performance. Preliminary studies suggest that flavanols and chlorogenic acids can enhance cognitive performance. It is unknown if drinks formulated with flavanols and chlorogenic acids (without high sugar or caffeine) improve cognition or mood to a similar extent as caffeine. Coffeeberry beverage comparisons will be made to a flavored positive control beverage containing caffeine and a flavored placebo beverage.

The primary aim of this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study is to assess the short-term cognitive effects of two beverages containing 100 and 300 mg coffeeberry extract (obtained from the fruit of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica) compared to a placebo beverage. The trial will utilise the COMPASS cognitive assessment system and cognitive demand battery (CDB) and mood visual analogue scales (VAS) with assessments taking place at baseline, 60- and 120-minutes post treatment, on four separate testing days separated by 7 days. A treatment containing 75 mg caffeine will be used as a positive control to document participants' responsiveness to an established psychostimulant.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of plant based aromas on energy levels among otherwise healthy female survivors of COVID-19.

White light therapy is one of the non-pharmacological methods in the management of fatigue. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a persistent, subjective sense of physical, emotional, and/or cognitive tiredness or burnout. It is associated with cancer or cancer treatment from the first diagnosis until the end of life that is not proportional to recent physical activity. It was founded that 10,000 Lux bright white light administered in the morning hours reduced fatigue by 17% in patients with cancer and that the mean fatigue scores of patients decreased from 30.37 to 9.48 compared to before the light administration. According to NCCN (2020), white light of 10,000 Lux can be applied for 30-90 minutes in the morning hours to regulate sleep and manage fatigue in the post treatment period as well as in cancer patients receiving active treatment. However, studies on this subject consist of small sample groups, and more studies are needed to identify the risks and benefits of the application and to determine the optimal application time and duration. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of white light on the fatigue levels of patients with gynecological cancer who were treated with chemotherapy. The patients with high levels of fatigue in every dimension were selected so as to have a homogeneous group. The research hypotheses were determined as follows: H0: White light has no effect on fatigue levels in patients with gynecological cancer. H1: White light reduces fatigue levels in patients with gynecological cancer.
