Active clinical trials for "Fatigue"

RATIONALE: Acupuncture may help relieve fatigue caused by breast cancer. It is not yet known whether acupuncture is more effective than self-acupuncture in managing fatigue in women with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying acupuncture to see how well it works compared with self-acupuncture in managing cancer-related fatigue in women who have received chemotherapy for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer.

RATIONALE: Epoetin beta may cause the body to make more red blood cells and may help relieve fatigue in patients with malignant solid tumors receiving palliative care. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well epoetin beta works in treating fatigue and anemia in patients receiving palliative care for malignant solid tumors.

The purpose of this research study is to determine if armodafinil is safe and effective in treating fatigue in patients with malignant gliomas undergoing treatment with radiotherapy plus temodar. Armodafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent that has been FDA approved for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness for a variety of disorders. Armodafinil may also help to reduce radiation-induced fatigue in brain tumor patients.

RATIONALE: Yoga may help improve sleep, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well yoga works in treating sleep disturbance in cancer survivors.

STUDY OBJECTIVES The overall goal of this study is to compare bystander fatigue and CPR quality after 5 minutes of the new 30:2 versus the old 15:2 chest compression to ventilation International Resuscitation Guidelines, in a population aged 55 or greater. More specifically, we will compare each CPR ratio with regard to: The achieved frequency and depth of chest compressions, Participant rating of their perceived level of exertion, and Resulting serum lactate levels in a subset of the participants. STUDY HYPOTHESIS In a population aged 55 or greater, the new 30:2 CPR ratio will lead to: less frequent and shallower chest compressions over the 5-minute study period; higher rating of perceived level of exertion; and higher serum lactate levels in a subset of participants when compared to the old 15:2 CPR ratio.

RATIONALE: Modafinil may be effective in relieving fatigue and improving behavioral changes such as memory loss in patients who have undergone treatment for primary brain cancer. The effectiveness of modafinil in relieving fatigue and improving behavioral change is not yet known. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is comparing how well two different doses of modafinil work in treating fatigue and behavioral changes in patients who have undergone treatment for primary brain cancer.

RATIONALE: Levocarnitine may help improve energy levels in cancer patients. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well levocarnitine works compared to a placebo in treating fatigue in cancer patients.

RATIONALE: Giving St. John's wort may be effective in relieving fatigue in patients with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy or hormone therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of St. John's wort in relieving fatigue in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or hormone therapy for cancer.

RATIONALE: Megestrol helps improve appetite. Exercise may decrease cancer-related fatigue, improve strength, and build up lost muscle tissue. Exercise plus megestrol may be effective treatment for cancer-related weight loss. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of megestrol plus exercise to improve appetite, increase strength, gain lean body tissue, and decrease fatigue in patients who have cancer-related weight loss.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of warm water foot baths on comfort, fatigue, and dialysis symptoms in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. Data were collected with a total of 58 patients,31 in the intervention group and 27 in the placebo group. The data in the study is collected using the intervention and control group informed volunteer Form, Patient Demonstration Form, foot Bath Application Monitoring Chart, fatigue VAS Scale Form, dialysis Symptom Index, and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale.
