Quadruple Immunotherapy for Neuroblastoma
This is a single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of quadruple immunotherapy with natural killer (NK) cells, anti-GD2 antibody, cytokines (interleukin-2 (IL-2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)) and retinoid X receptor gamma (RXRg) agonist spironolactone for paediatric patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.
Exoneuromusculoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke
A new clothing robotic arm was developed for multi-joint coordinated upper limb rehabilitation after stroke. Patients after stroke will be recruited to evaluate the rehabilitation effectiveness of the device assisted upper limb rehabilitation. Both patients with chronic stroke and subacute stroke will be investigated.
Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Function and Upper Limb Motor Function in People With Chronic Stroke
Upper limb impairment is present in more than 85% of people with stroke, which greatly affect the quality of life, social participation, and performance of daily activities of people with stroke. Previous study also revealed that 53.4% of people after stroke experienced cognitive impairment. Different cognitive domains might be affected …
A Prehabilitation Program to Boost Postoperative Functional Capacity in Surgical Lung Cancer Patients
This research study is evaluating a prehabiliation intervention designed to improve postoperative functional capacity (measured by 6-minure walking distance) in individuals undergoing lung resection for cancer.
Mirror Therapy With Cutaneous Electrical Sensory Stimulation on Lower Limb Motor Functions in Stroke
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of concurrent mirror therapy (MT) 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 MT combined with TENS would be superior to sham-mirror therapy with TENS, or MT …
Motivational Interviewing to Enhance Advance Care Planning for Older Adults and Caregivers After Emergency Visits
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing (MI) intervention in enhancing advance care planning (ACP) among older adults who have visited the Emergency Room (ER) in the past six months and their family caregivers. The main question it aims to answer is: The effectiveness of the …
The Effect of Whole Body Vibration After ACLR
This is a randomised clinical trial to detect the effect of an 8-week whole body vibration training on muscle function and dynamic knee function during single leg squat and single leg hop in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Tai-Chi and Aerobic Exercise to Improve Emotional Symptom Cluster in Late-stage Lung Cancer Patients
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of Tai-Chi and aerobic exercise on the emotional symptom cluster, and the underlying mechanism of that cluster, in late-stage lung cancer patients. Participants will be randomized into one of three groups: 1) Tai-Chi group, 2) aerobic exercise group, …
The Effect of PEMF for Patients With Knee OA
Health care costs are increasing alarmingly, which will impose an overwhelming economic burden to an aging society like that of Hong Kong. For example, degenerative musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis (OA) present a grand challenge with its high prevalence (>40% in the elderly suffered from knee OA). OA is a …
Preoperative Teriparatide Use on Insertional Torque of Pedicle Screws for Lumbar Fusion Surgery
This project aims to investigate any difference of insertional torque strength for osteoporotic patients with preoperative 1-month teriparatide injections versus those without. The increased insertional torque of pedicle screws during surgery after only 1 month of teriparatide use has also been studied. However, the effect of teriparatide on vertebral body …
