Pneumonia is a major public health problem for the elderly and is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death for this population, particularly for elderly nursing home residents. This planning grants seeks to establish a safe and effective dose of zinc supplementation with the goal to conduct a larger randomized clinical trial to study the effect of zinc supplementation in nursing home elderly with low serum zinc levels on the risk, antibiotic use, and duration of sick days with pneumonia. This project has significant potential to positively impact the health and quality of life in the elderly and to reduce the economic costs associated with their care.
NCT06523036
Chronic neck pain is particularly prevalent among nurses. Nurses experiencing neck pain frequently report its impacts including decreased job satisfaction and reduced productivity. In recent years, non-pharmacologic approaches have increasingly been used treatments for the management of neck pain. Exercise and manual therapies represent two of the most common non-pharmacologic interventions for pain. The purpose of this study was to perform a pilot study of combined multimodal chiropractic care and Tai Chi for neck pain in nurses to help inform the design of a future, full-scale pragmatic trial.
