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 …
The Impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) on Glycemic Control in Older Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Comorbid With Insomnia
This study is a RCT aiming to use CBT-I as intervention, compared to usual care as control, to elucidate the effect of CBT-I on glycemic control, sleep quality, psychological outcomes, and cognitive function in Hong Kong Chinese older T2D comorbid with insomnia.
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.
A Decision Aid on End-of-life Care for Patients With Advanced COPD and Their Family
This study aims to support EOL decision-making in patients with advanced COPD and their family members. A parallel two-arm single-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effects of a specific decision support intervention. A total of 226 patients with advanced COPD and their designated family members will …
Peripheral Stimulation of Acupuncture Points for Low Back Pain
For decades, chronic low back pain has been one of the major health complaints in Hong Kong. Without proper management, low back pain is associated with functional disability and decreased quality of life. However, currently, there is still no "gold standard" treatment for cure of the problem.
MWA vs RFA for the Treatment of Moderate-sized Benign Thyroid Nodules (RCT Study)
Thyroid nodule is a common condition that affects up to 60% of the population. There is an estimated 10% lifetime probability of developing a thyroid nodule. Although most thyroid nodules are benign, up to 10-15% can enlarge to cause compressive symptoms including neck pressure and discomfort, dysphagia, dyspnea, and dysphonia. …
Preventive Effect of Perinatal Oral Probiotic Supplementation (POPS) on Neonatal Jaundice
This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallel group superiority clinical trial among 94 pregnant women (47 in each group) to investigate the effect of maternal perinatal probiotic supplementation on neonatal jaundice, breast milk microbiome, maternal stool, and infant fecal microbiome. Vivomixx®-probiotic product will be used as treatment and placebo as …
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.
