PUL vs TURP in BPH Patients With Urinary Retention
The study will be a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing prostatic urethral lift (PUL) versus transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients with urinary retention. The primary objective of this study is to compare the catheter-free rates of PUL vs TURP. Secondary objectives include comparison of …
Trancranial Pulse Stimulation on Anterior Insula Cortex and Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex
Transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) is a newly developed non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technique from Austria & Germany with highly promising applicability in neuropsychiatric disorders. Clinical trials have shown a beneficial effect of TPS in patients with Alzheimer's disease and depression. Although TPS has the capability to noninvasively target deeper brain …
Home-based Psychoeducation for Older Adults With Frailty: A Randomised Controlled Trial
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a 12-week home-based telerehabilitation programme on improving subjective well-being among community-dwelling older people with frailty. The main question it aims to answer is Could home-based psychoeducation significantly enhance subjective well-being in older adults with frailty in the community? Participants will receive 12 …
Trial of Reduced Alteplase Dose for Parapneumonic Effusion (TRAPPE)
Objectives: A pilot study to compare the therapeutic and safety profiles between low(2.5mg) and standard(10mg) doses of intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator(tPA) in uncontrolled pleural infection. The study design will be tested for its trialability. Hypothesis: 2.5mg tPA has comparable therapeutic efficacy and less bleeding complications to 10mg tPA. Design and …
Exploring the Cortical Hemodynamic Variability of Prefrontal ITBS: a Concurrent TBS/fNIRS Study
An increasing number of studies have used the intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) protocol to investigate neural plasticity non-invasively in the prefontal cortex in healthy humans and in patients with psychiatric disorders. However, the variability in the neurophysiological response to iTBS stimulation is high. The cause of this variability is multifactorial …
Self-initiated Perturbation-based Training in Older Adults
This is a single-blinded study. Participants will be randomly assigned to self-initiated perturbation-based balance training (SePBT) group or control (conventional balance training) group. Kinematic and Kinetic changes following SePBT group compared to control will be investigated.
Effectiveness of Motivated Social Motional Learning (MSEL) Program on Bullying Among Hong Kong Primary School Students
The present study aimed to test the effectiveness of motivated social-emotional Learning (MSEL) and traditional curriculum-based social-emotional learning (CSEL) in reducing bullying perpetration and victimization among Hong Kong primary school students. The main research questions the cRCT aims to answer are: Does MSEL reduce bullying perpetration and victimization among Hong …
Prognostic Biomarkers for Pulpotomy Outcome
This study will recruit 180 molars diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis. Full pulpotomy will be performed on 120 teeth, while RCT (root canal treatment) will be conducted on another cohort of 60 teeth as the control for assessing long-term outcomes. Additionally, 12 blood samples and pulp tissues from healthy teeth receiving …
Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Subsequent Auto-Transplantation for Female Cancer Patients (HKCH)
Ovarian tissue freezing is an ideal option for these patients as it can be performed immediately and does not need any time for ovarian stimulation. We hope we can develop this service in our locality to allow more young female cancer patients to have their fertility preserved.
An Edge AI-based AR System for Hand Hygiene Training in Undergraduates of Health Related Disciplines
The goal of this study is to design and test an innovative education tool for hand hygiene. The main aims are: develop a prototype of the AI-empowered AR system for hand hygiene training and assessment in undergraduates of health-related disciplines; conduct a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the …
