Warmth and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in Improving Cognitive Functions in People With Dementia
Evidence showed that both TENS and passive body heating are potential treatment strategies for improving cognitive functions in people with dementia. It is hypothesized that hat device (Warmth +TENS) over the 4 acupuncture points would induce a greater improvement in cognitive functions and behavioural symptoms when compared with other hat …
Effect of Combining Central and Peripheral Cutaneous Electrical Stimulation on Lower Limb Motor Function in People With Stroke
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in augmenting the efficacy of the lower limb task-oriented training in people with stroke. It is hypothesize that lower limb motor function can be best improved by combining anodal tDCS with …

Stand By Me: Anti-Drug Elite Adventure-Based Training Program
This project is expected to establish a network of resilient young people with good anti-drug knowledge to mobilize them to assist in current or future anti-drug work, expanding the antidrug capacity of our community. After the project, it is also anticipated that people in this network will continue to assist …
Use of Shock Wave Therapy for Neo-Vascularisation in Non-critical Coronary Artery Disease: Validation by Quantitative Cardiac MRI Perfusion
This is a randomised controlled trial aimed to demonstrate the effect of cardiac extracorporeal shock wave therapy (CSWT) on the angiogenesis effect of myocardium by determining myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) when measured by cardiac MRI before and after the treatment.
Priming Theta Burst Stimulation for Stroke: A Study of Intensity
Objectives: To compare the effects of low intensity priming intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) with those derived from conventional intensity priming iTBS, nonpriming iTBS, and sham stimulation in terms of improving hemiparetic upper limb motor functionality and modulating cortical excitation/inhibition in patients with stroke. Hypothesis to be tested: We hypothesize …
Collaborative Stepped-care Intervention for Adults With Subthreshold Depressive Symptoms in the Primary Care Setting
To ensure accessibility and availability of mental health services in the community and to reduce the burden associated with depression and related conditions, the study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative stepped-care intervention (cognitive behavioural therapy-based) for adults with subthreshold depressive symptoms at the district-based primary healthcare setting.
Empagliflozin on Residual Kidney Function in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Empagliflozin, a new class of diabetes medication, has demonstrated a reduction in renal function decline among patients with chronic kidney disease, regardless of their diabetes status. However, all previous studies excluded dialysis patients. Patients starting dialysis may still produce a certain amount of urine. Importantly, patients with better preserved residual …

Department of Psychiatry | Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine The University of Hong Kong The Effectiveness of rTMS on Improving Food Cravings and Weight Control in Adults without Serious Mental Illness Introduction The investigators would like to invite participants to participate in an observational study on the efficacy of …
Effect of eHealth Cardiac Rehabilitation Incorporating Mindfulness for Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
People with coronary heart disease (CHD) often feel more stressed, which can increase the risk of having another heart problem. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a common treatment for those with CHD, focusing on changing lifestyles and managing the disease. However, it often does not address stress management adequately. There is …
