Active clinical trials for "Fatigue"

This project aims to evaluate if after 14 days of grape juice ingestion there is improvement of the parameters of strength, fatigue and oxidative stress in judo fighters. The study will be a randomized, blind, crossover clinical trial of 20 Judo athletes. Judo wrestling simulations will be performed on 3 different days.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for supplementation with black currant to support eye health among otherwise healthy adult women who spend 6+ hours per day using digital screens.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a brief cognitive behavioural intervention for post-stroke fatigue leads to clinically relevant improvements in fatigue after 6 months.

This study is designed to observe muscle oxygen saturation during intense video game using gridlock training with and without upper arm compression sleeves.

Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Proof-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Benefit of RUCONEST in Improving Neurological Symptoms in Post-SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

The objective is to assess if TENS will improve the muscle recovery rate from post-exercise fatigue.

Many studies have related the presence of dynamic valgus with several musculoskeletal injuries of the hip, knee and ankle. The weakness of the hip abductors is cited as one of the factors linked to this poor dynamic alignment of the lower limb, however, motor control can also be one of the factors responsible for the poor alignment of the lower limbs.

Despite the large therapeutic arsenal available since one decade allowing a strong reduction of inflammation process, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients claimed pain, fatigue, sleep problems and other quality of life outcomes. Fatigue reduction during TNF blockers therapy is lower than the strong reduction in RA disease activity. Furthermore, RA patients have higher prevalence of non-inflammatory pain than general population. Fatigue is a real major problem due to 50% of patients considered it as severe. This dissociation between disease activity and fatigue level suggests that fatigue is multifactorial. No consistent explanations for fatigue are currently available.

This study will begin to fill a knowledge gap by determine whether changes in kynurenine metabolism occur following Resistance Training (RT) and relate to reductions in inflammation and improved behavioral and physical function as this may identify potential targets for interventions to promote cancer recovery.

Background: Post-Infectious Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (PI-ME/CFS) refers to long-lasting and disabling fatigue or malaise, inability to recover after exercise, and physical and emotional discomfort that may occur after a person has an infection. Researchers want to learn more about its causes. Objective: To learn more about PI-ME/CFS. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-60 years who have finished at least 7th grade education and either: have ME/CFS that started after an infection OR had Lyme disease, were treated, and returned to normal health OR are healthy volunteers Design: Participants will initially have a 2-5 day inpatient visit at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda. During the visit, participants will have: Medical history Physical exam Intravenous (IV) line. A thin plastic tube is inserted into a vein. Blood and urine collected Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their brain. They may get a dye through their IV. Grip strength tested Saliva, cheek swab, and stool collected Tilt table test with measures of body functions such as sweating and breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate and blood and urine sample collection Collection of blood cells. Participants can choose to have the blood drawn through the IV or through a machine that filters blood cells and returns the liquid blood back into the participant s vein. Lumbar puncture. Fluid will be removed by placement of a needle between the back bones. Heart monitoring Sleep study for participants with PI ME/CFS Questions about the participant s life and how they are feeling Questions from a neuropsychologist Questions from an occupational therapist for participants with PI ME/CFS Questinos from a nutritionist After the initial visit participants will return home. Participants evaluated for PI-ME/CFS during the first visit will have their information reviewed by an adjudication panel of experts in the diagnosis and care of ME/CFS to determine if they are eligible to participate in the second study visit. Eligible participants will be invited back for a second study visit. If a participant was taking certain medications during the first visit, they may be asked to taper off of them prior to the second visit and report any problems. They will also receive an activity monitor, fatigue diary, and nutrition log to use for at least one week prior to their second visit. Participants who are eligible will return for a 5-10 day inpatient hospital visit at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. During the visit, participants will undergo measurements before and up to 96 hours after performing a stationary bike exercise test. The purpose of the exercise test is to provoke ME/CFS symptoms (post-exertional malaise). Tests will be performed before and after exercise testing. These include: Sleeping in a room that measures how the body uses energy with EEG monitoring Eating a controlled diet Performing vigorous exercise for 10-15 minutes Questions about how participants are feeling Questions about what participants usually eat Samples of saliva, blood, urine and stool Wearing an activity monitor Having an Xray that measures body composition Thinking and memory tests Heart monitoring Transcranial magnetic stimulation. A brief electrical current to the scalp creates a magnetic pulse that affects brain activity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their brain. They will do thinking and exercise tasks during the MRI. Lumbar puncture. Fluid will be removed by placement of a needle between the back bones.
