SPIRIT-PRO Extension explanation and elaboration: guidelines for inclusion of patient-reported outcomes in protocols of clinical trials.

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are used in clinical trials to provide valuable evidence on the impact of disease and treatment on patients' symptoms, function and quality of life. High-quality PRO data from trials can inform shared decision-making, regulatory and economic analyses and health policy. Recent evidence suggests the PRO content of past trial protocols was often incomplete or unclear, leading to research waste. To address this issue, international, consensus-based, PRO-specific guidelines were developed: the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRI

Efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on postoperative pain in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: study protocol for a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a key treatment for many cardiothoracic issues, but intraoperative factors can lead to acute postoperative pain (APSP), impacting recovery and quality of life. While multimodal analgesic methods are used, they have notable side effects. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) offers a non-invasive pain relief option by stimulating the primary motor cortex (M1), effective in chronic pain management. However, its role in preventing and treating APSP after VATS needs confirmation through high-quality clinical trials. METHODS/

Oral cryotherapy for management of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in haematopoietic cell transplantation: a systematic review.

BackgroundOral mucositis (OM) is known to be the most common and challenging side effect of conditioning chemotherapy in haematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). This side effect causes significant morbidity and may delay the treatment plan, as well as increase therapeutic expenses. There are few clinical trials in the literature that indicate any kind of treatment or prevention methods are effective. Therefore, the aim of this study is to perform a systematic review of literature and examine the effectiveness of oral cryotherapy (OC) in management of chemotherapy-induced OM in patients with haem

Salivary Osteopontin as a Potential Biomarker for Oral Mucositis.

Osteopontin (OPN), a multifunctional phosphoglycoprotein also presents in saliva, plays a crucial role in tumour progression, inflammation and mucosal protection. Mucosal barrier injury due to high-dose conditioning regimen administered during autologous and allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation (APSCT) has neither efficient therapy nor established biomarkers. Our aim was to assess the biomarker role of OPN during APSCT, with primary focus on oral mucositis (OM). Serum and salivary OPN levels were determined by ELISA in 10 patients during APSCT at four stages of transplantation (day

Modulation of Oxidative Stress by Ozone Therapy in the Prevention and Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Toxicity: Review and Prospects.

(1) Background: Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy attempt to kill tumor cells by different mechanisms mediated by an intracellular increase of free radicals. However, free radicals can also increase in healthy cells and lead to oxidative stress, resulting in further damage to healthy tissues. Approaches to prevent or treat many of these side effects are limited. Ozone therapy can induce a controlled oxidative stress able to stimulate an adaptive antioxidant response in healthy tissue. This review describes the studies using ozone therapy

Take the reins: a study protocol of a randomized controlled trial testing the effects of time-restricted eating vs. nutrition control on cancer-related fatigue among survivors of hematological malignancies.

BACKGROUND: Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating side effects of cancer and its treatments. Fatigue may stem from disruptions in circadian rhythms and dysregulation of glucose metabolism, which can be improved through time-restricted eating. Time-restricted eating is a daily eating pattern that entails consuming food within a defined, consistent window (e.g., 10 h) every day. When the eating window aligns with the daylight hours, it can entrain circadian processes and modulate physiological regulation of whole-body metabolism. It is hypothesized that time-restricte
