Effectiveness of Ayurvedic Nutritional Supplements and Yoga #Protocol in Reducing the Incidence and Severity of Acute Mountain Sickness (AYAMS #Study): #Study #Protocol for an Open-Label #RCT #ClinicalTrial Background: Acute mountain sickness (AMS) poses a unique and formidable challenge to healthy personnel at high altitudes. Objective: This #RCT #ClinicalTrial (RCT) #Protocol aimed to assess the effectiveness of Ayurvedic nutritional supplements in conjunction with a yoga #Protocol in reducing the incidence and severity of AMS among healthy personnel stationed in the challenging high-altitude landscapes of the western Himalayas. Methods: The proposed open-label, parallel-group RCT was conducted in apparently healthy individuals of any gender aged 18‐50 years. The #Study was conducted at two distinct high-altitude stages within the western Himalayan region: stage I, situated at an elevation ranging from 9000 to 12,000 feet and stage II, spanning 12,000 to 15,000 feet. A total of 1660 participants (n=830 per stage) underwent random assignment in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the existing acclimatization schedule (AS) for high altitude (control group) or the Ayush intervention (Ayush group) in addition to the AS. The participants in the Ayush group received Ayurvedic nutritional supplements, including the Ayur-nutri kit (Ayush poshak yoga, 25 g, and Ayush cardiac care tea, 125 mL), twice daily, along with a yoga #Protocol (60 min daily) for 120 days. The primary outcome was the incidence of AMS, assessed using the 2018 Lake Louise Scoring System, and the proportion of participants with a Lake Louise Scoring System score of 6 or higher during the first 7 days from baseline. The secondary outcome measures included the proportion of participants with thromboembolic events; changes in coagulation and hemostasis activation markers and proinflammatory markers; and changes in self-reported negative emotional states (depression, anxiety, and stress), sleep quality, and overall quality of life (assessed through Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 items, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and 12-item short-form, respectively) on day 60 and day 120 from baseline. Results: The #Study was funded in March 2023. The data collection was completed in December 2023. A total of 1660 participants were enrolled in the #Study. The analysis of the #Study data is in progress. The #Study outcomes are expected to be published by December 2026. Conclusions: This RCT was the first of its kind to explore the potential benefits of using Ayurvedic nutritional supplements and a yoga #Protocol in conjunction with the standard AS to reduce the occurrence and severity of AMS among healthy personnel. The outcomes of this trial can aid in better acclimatization and resilience among healthy personnel at high altitudes.

Progressive Achilles Loading via Clinician e-Support (PACE): #Protocol for a Dual-Site #RCT #ClinicalTrial Background: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common condition that limits activity participation in both active and sedentary populations. While exercise and education are well-established treatments for AT, information is lacking on the amount of intervention required and the prognostic factors associated with response to noninvasive treatments. Objective: This noninferiority #RCT #ClinicalTrial will determine the efficacy of a single-visit, physical therapist (PT)–initiated rehabilitation program compared to a multivisit, PT-guided telehealth rehabilitation program for AT and will identify early prognostic factors for individuals who experience the greatest improvement in pain and disability by 4 weeks. Methods: In this single-blind, 2-arm, parallel-group trial, 160 individuals with AT will be randomized to either a single-visit PT-initiated rehabilitation program or a multivisit, PT-guided telehealth rehabilitation program. Primary outcomes will be the numeric rating scale for movement pain and the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment–Achilles score for disability. Secondary outcomes will include measures of tendon health, measures within the psychosocial health domain, and military readiness. Results: This #Research was funded in July 2024. Participant enrollment began in August 2025 and is expected to conclude in 2028. As of January 2026, 15 participants have been enrolled at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, meeting the recruitment goals. Conclusions: The PACE (Progressive Achilles Loading via Clinician e-Support) trial will identify a rehabilitation program focused on education and exercise for AT that expands access to care and will identify factors that predict responses to exercise and education.

Effects of Sitting Baduanjin on #Cancer-Related Fatigue in Patients With Advanced #Cancer: #Protocol for a #RCT #ClinicalTrial Background: Approximately 60% of patients with advanced #Cancer experience the distress of #Cancer-related fatigue (CRF), which significantly worsens their daily function and quality of life. Baduanjin has been regarded as a promising nonpharmacological intervention for alleviating CRF, anxiety, and depression and improving quality of life. Owing to varying degrees of CRF in patients with advanced #Cancer, patients may have insufficient endurance, making it difficult to implement standing Baduanjin. However, relevant evidence on sitting Baduanjin for CRF in patients with advanced #Cancer is lacking. Objective: This #Study aims to design a sitting Baduanjin intervention and explore the efficacy and safety of sitting Baduanjin in reducing CRF among patients with advanced #Cancer. Methods: This #Study will be a single-blind pilot #RCT #ClinicalTrial. Patients with CRF will be enlisted from a tertiary #Cancer hospital in China. The participants (N=98) will be randomly assigned to either a sitting Baduanjin group or a control group at a 1:1 ratio using a block-randomized scheme. The participants in the sitting Baduanjin group will undergo a 16-week sitting Baduanjin intervention in addition to standard care, whereas the participants in the control group will receive standard care in the form of a booklet on the self-management of #Cancer symptoms. CRF will constitute the primary outcome, whereas anxiety, depression, and quality of life will serve as the secondary outcomes. These outcomes will be assessed at baseline (T0), 12 weeks (T1), and 16 weeks (T2). Results: The #Study was approved by the Medical Ethics Review Committee of Hunan #Cancer Hospital in March 2024 (ethics approval number 2024.50). Before this full-scale #RCT #ClinicalTrial, we conducted a pilot #Study, which demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of sitting Baduanjin for patients with advanced #Cancer, with potential benefits for relieving fatigue. Conclusions: This randomized trial will evaluate the effectiveness of sitting Baduanjin exercises in alleviating CRF among patients with advanced #Cancer. If proven effective, it will provide a promising alternative intervention for patients with advanced #Cancer.

A Mobile Self-Assessment and Referral Platform for Family Caregivers of Individuals With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias: #Protocol for a Pilot #RCT #ClinicalTrial Background: Family caregiving for individuals with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) is characterized by increasing complexity, intensity, and demand across the disease trajectory. Formal home- and community-based services can provide knowledge, skills, and resources to enhance preparedness and self-efficacy, which may protect against adverse caregiving outcomes; however, awareness and uptake of these services remain low. As caregivers increasingly turn to the internet for information and support in their role, technology offers an opportunity to create a more seamless pipeline between assessment and service referral to match family caregivers with targeted services that meet their specific needs. Objective: The primary objective of this #Study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of CarePair—a mobile self-assessment and service referral platform—among ADRD family caregivers. Secondary objectives are to assess the preliminary efficacy of CarePair in reducing stress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety, and enhancing self-efficacy among caregivers randomized to the intervention versus an attention control condition. This #Study also aims to generate preliminary effect size estimates to inform sample size calculations for a future fully powered #RCT #ClinicalTrial (RCT). Methods: This pilot RCT will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of CarePair. Eighty ADRD family caregivers will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention (n=40) or an attention control condition (n=40). Recruitment will be facilitated by the project #Study site located in an urban metropolitan area of the United States, targeting participants who report residing in and/or being in close proximity to any of the following locations: New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, New York; Seattle, Washington; and Los Angeles, California. Primary feasibility outcomes include recruitment, retention, and completion rates; website usability; and intervention satisfaction. Exploratory analyses will assess preliminary efficacy on stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and self-efficacy. Results: This trial was funded by the National Institute on Aging in September 2023 and received approval from the institutional review board of the University of Southern California on September 10, 2025. Recruitment began in September 2025 and is scheduled to conclude in May 2026, with data collection scheduled to end in August 2026. As of February 2026, 44 participants have been enrolled and 22 have completed the #Study. Conclusions: This pilot trial will offer foundational evidence regarding the feasibility and acceptability of the CarePair intervention. #Study findings will determine if “go” criteria are met to warrant the advancement to a larger-scale efficacy trial. Participant insights will also be used to guide intervention refinements and #Digital platform optimization. By offering a low-burden, caregiver-centered mobile #App, CarePair has the potential to facilitate and streamline the timely identification of needs and referral to relevant services for ADRD family caregivers.

Motor Imagery and Action Observation in Breast #Cancer Survivors: #Protocol for a #RCT #ClinicalTrial Background: Breast #Cancer is the most common type of #Cancer in women worldwide, and its incidence is increasing. Although breast #Cancer survival is slowly increasing, related sequelae can persist after the disease has been treated. The main physical symptoms associated with breast #Cancer survival include pain, lymphedema, and associated functional limitations. Although multiple treatments are available for alleviating symptoms in breast #Cancer survivors, their effectiveness remains limited. Motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) therapies, which are based on the theory of motor simulation and are used in multiple fields with satisfactory results, have been proposed as alternatives for treating pain and improving mobility and strength. Objective: This #Study aims to design, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a program combining MI and AO therapies to improve functionality and mobility and alleviate pain and lymphedema of the affected upper limb in women who have survived breast #Cancer. Methods: A randomized controlled clinical #Study will be conducted in a sample of 108 participants who have experienced breast #Cancer and, as a result, have pain in the affected extremity, lymphedema, or loss of strength and/or mobility. The intervention group will include 54 participants managed with the MI and AO program (a combination of MI, AO, and mobility exercises), while the control group will consist of 54 women performing mobility exercises alone. Pain intensity, muscle strength, joint range, limb diameter, fear of movement, and imagery capability will be evaluated. Results: The intervention is expected to yield improvements in pain intensity, joint range, muscle strength, and symptoms associated with lymphedema, among other outcomes. The #Study was funded in December 2023. The number of participants recruited as of manuscript submission is approximately 80, and data analysis has not yet started. These results will be published in 2026. Conclusions: The implementation of an intervention based on MI and AO has the potential to positively impact female breast #Cancer survivors who face physical and psychological sequelae that interfere with their daily lives.

Clinical Evaluation of Pediatric Pulse Oximeters in South Africa: #Protocol for a Cluster #RCT #ClinicalTrial Background: The burden of children with lower respiratory infections and low blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia) is high, and outcomes are poor in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Pulse oximeters noninvasively measure the capillary oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO) to identify hypoxemia, but high-quality devices designed for the unique needs of children are rarely available in primary health care clinics (PHCs) in LMICs, where children initially access care. Objective: This #Study aims to evaluate whether 2 pediatric pulse oximeters co-designed with health care workers (HCWs) in LMICs improve the correct SpO management of children in PHCs compared to a standard pulse oximeter. Methods: We are conducting a pragmatic 3-arm cluster #RCT #ClinicalTrial in the Eastern Khayelitsha, Northern, and Tygerberg areas of Cape Town, South Africa, over 18 months between 2024 and 2026. We plan to enroll 1200 children aged younger than 2 years with an acute respiratory infection from 18 PHCs randomized to implement one of 3 pulse oximeters, either 1 standard-of-care device or 2 intervention devices. HCWs in selected PHCs will administer the intervention. Our primary outcome will be “correct SpO management,” an intermediate clinical end point between device implementation and hypoxemia outcome, defined by the following three elements necessary to reduce inappropriately treated hypoxemia: (1) device adoption—HCW use of the device as evidenced by a HCW-documented SpO and pulse rate; (2) quality SpO measurement—SpO confirmed by reference device measurement within 2% SpO above or below the HCW-measured SpO; and (3) correct SpO decision-making—an appropriate referral recommendation by the HCW. A concurrent mixed methods process evaluation will explore how, why, for whom, and to what extent these devices impact the clinical management of hypoxemic children. The primary analysis will be intention-to-treat. For all primary and secondary outcomes, we will conduct pairwise comparisons between the 2 intervention arms and the control arm. Results: Data collection commenced in 2024, and results are expected from 2026 to 2027. As of December 2025, enrollment has been completed in 12 clinics. Conclusions: While there are notable challenges inherent in designing a trial to evaluate whether pulse oximeters improve HCW SpO management of children at PHCs, our #Protocol development process attempted to address all potential limitations and sources of bias to maximize the trial’s future impact.

Development of a Collaborative Education Program for Home Care Nursing Educators’ on-the-Job Training in End-of-Life Home Care: #Protocol for a #RCT #ClinicalTrial Background: Despite the growing demand for end-of-life home care, nursing educators responsible for on-the-job training face substantial barriers, such as time and geographical constraints, which limit their access to professional development. Collaborative online training programs offer a potential solution to these challenges. Objective: This #Study aims to develop and evaluate a collaborative online training program designed to improve the educational ability of home care nursing educators in delivering effective on-the-job training for home-based end-of-life care. Methods: This parallel group, waitlist-controlled trial recruited home care nursing managers or educators from agencies with at least one home death client in the past year. We will provide this program on the internet. The intervention will comprise three online sessions, each lasting 60 minutes and held monthly, involving one lecture and two interactive case studies related to on-the-job training in end-of-life home care. This will be followed by 8 weeks of weekly educational messages via LINE, a mobile messaging #App widely used in Japan. The control group will serve as a waitlist and will receive the same intervention after the control period. The primary outcomes are participants’ attitudes, measured using the End-of-Life Nursing Education Questionnaire. Using a centralized computer-generated randomization system, 125 home care nursing managers and educators will be recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group at a ratio of 1:1. Stratification will be based on their agency’s annual home death count between November 29, 2023, and November 29, 2024. To minimize performance bias, the intervention content has been standardized before the intervention to ensure fidelity. Results: This #Study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo (2024359NI-(2)) on November 15, 2024. Participant recruitment began on November 29, 2024, and closed on December 25, 2024, with 120 participants enrolled. As of February 15, 2026, the following number of surveys were completed at each time point: 106 at T0 (the intervention group:the control group; 52:54); 103 at T1 (51:52); 102 at T2 (50:52); 40 at T3 and 43 at T4 in the intervention group; and 47 at T5, 44 at T6, and 41 at T7 in the control group. Quantitative data collection was completed by January 2026, and qualitative interviews will be completed by March 2026. Primary quantitative results and integrated results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2026-2027 and 2027-2028, respectively. Conclusions: This #Protocol can address geographical and time constraints by providing flexible, online educational resources for home care nursing educators. The anticipated outcomes include enhanced on-the-job training ability among nursing educators for home-based end-of-life care. This #Study’s findings could support broader implementation of scalable training strategies in home care settings.
