Active clinical trials for "Weight Gain"

An estimated two-thirds to three- quarters of women experience gestational weight gain outside of IOM's 2009 recommendations: 40-60% of women experiencing excessive gain and 15-30% inadequate gain. Not gaining the adequate weight gain is strongly associated with several maternal and fetal complications..

The primary hypothesis is that very preterm infants between 28 0/7 to 31 6/7 weeks with a birth weight from 1000-1999 grams allocated to the HV breastmilk group (200-240 mL/kg/day) until hospital discharge or 40 weeks' post-menstrual age (PMA), whichever comes first, will have increased growth velocity compared to those given UV breastmilk (140-180 mL/kg/day).

We hypothesised that in women with stress urinary incontinence, the severity of leakage on a 24 hour pad test was affected by activity.

Mothers in Motion will draw on the successes of the pilot intervention of the same name and will promote healthy lifestyle behavior changes (eating more fruits and vegetables, increasing physical activity, dealing with stress) in low-income WIC mothers of young children. The intervention group's weight change (difference between the initial enrollment and 3 months post intervention) will differ from the control group's weight change by an average of at least 2.8 pounds.

The purpose of this study is to determine how to help manage weight gain during pregnancy. This study is part of the National Consortium 'LIFE-Moms: Lifestyle interventions in expectant moms'. LIFE-Moms is 7 studies funded to test different lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women.

Investigators conducted a pilot feasibility and acceptability randomized controlled trial of a remotely delivered behavioral health coaching program in pregnancy and postpartum.

The project aims to develop, implement and evaluate electronically-mediated behavioral intervention programs for pregnant and postpartum women in order to prevent excessive weight gain during pregnancy and postpartum weight retention.

Chronic bilateral subthalamic stimulation leads a spectacular clinical improvement in patients with motor complications. However, the post-operative body weight gain involved may limit the benefits of surgery and induce critical metabolic disorder. The aim of this study to determine the energy expenditure in usual conditions of life.

The purpose of this pilot study is to find out whether mindful drinking/eating activities can improve quality of life and help make it easier for people on dialysis to follow their fluid restrictions. The pilot study is a randomized controlled trial with an intervention group and a wait list control group, randomized by cohort days. The intervention occurs during dialysis sessions once a week for 4 weeks. During each intervention session, participants are guided through a mindful eating exercise focused on foods recommended for controlling thirst (e.g., hard candy, frozen grapes) and a mindful drinking exercise. Participants are asked to practice mindful drinking/eating at least once daily at home.

Randomized controlled parallel open-label study in persons living with HIV. The aim is to study weight changes in patients switching from a dolutegravir and tenofovir disoproxil containing regimen to either a dolutegravir or tenofovir disoproxil free regimen.
