Exploring Service Users’ Experiences of a Community-Based Intervention to Improve Follow-Up at Bharatpur Eye Hospital in Nepal: Qualitative Study

One of the studies has shown that SMS text messaging reminders significantly improved follow-up adherence in pediatric cataract treatment compared to the control group [6]. A quasi-experimental study was carried out in Nepal by the BEH team to find the effectiveness of follow-up interventions, particularly counseling with the provision of information leaflets and reminders through phone calls and text messages to improve the follow-up rates in comparison to the existing standard care.

Efficient Online Recruitment of Patients With Depressive Symptoms Using Social Media: Cross-Sectional Observational Study

Efficient Online Recruitment of Patients With Depressive Symptoms Using Social Media: Cross-Sectional Observational Study

In studies specifically within the primary care setting in the United Kingdom, less than a third of the studies managed to meet the recruitment time frame: recruitment challenges mainly stem from the GP having to shoulder the responsibility of handling patient consent and inclusion [17]. To alleviate this bottleneck, researchers need to identify different solutions. In the last 10 years, the use and popularity of social media recruitment in medical research has gained popularity [18].

Mobile Therapeutic Attention for Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia (m-RESIST) Solution for Improving Clinical and Functional Outcomes in Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia: Prospective, Multicenter Efficacy Study

Mobile Therapeutic Attention for Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia (m-RESIST) Solution for Improving Clinical and Functional Outcomes in Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia: Prospective, Multicenter Efficacy Study

This was a prospective, 3-month long, multicenter follow-up study without a control group that was carried out with patients with a diagnosis of TRS between March and November 2017. Blinding was not considered due to the absence of a comparator group. No sample size calculation was done. In this study, the intervention involved patients and their caregivers, and the main actors involved in the deployment of the m-RESIST solution were psychiatrists, psychologists, and case managers.

Effect of Early Treatment of Spasticity After Stroke on Motor Recovery: Protocol for the Baclotox Multicenter, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy Randomized Controlled Trial

Because of the different modes of administration of these treatments, each group receives both an injection and oral tablets. The study therefore comprises three arms: (1) a “toxin” group treated with an injection of botulinum toxin and placebo oral baclofen; (2) a “baclofen” group treated with oral baclofen and an injection of placebo botulinum toxin; and (3) a double “placebo” group treated with placebo oral baclofen and an injection of placebo botulinum toxin.

Assessment of Health System Readiness and Quality of Dementia Services in Peru: Protocol for a Qualitative Study With Stakeholder Interviews and Documentation Review

Assessment of Health System Readiness and Quality of Dementia Services in Peru: Protocol for a Qualitative Study With Stakeholder Interviews and Documentation Review

The 10/66 Dementia Research Group study [25] highlights the high cost of dementia for health systems and the negative mental health impacts on women in LMICs, who are often primary caregivers for people with dementia [26]. This underscores the need for further research on dementia diagnosis and care in LMICs and for directing it effectively toward impactful decision-making.
