Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment using a real mD. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician on Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired Clinical research trials and Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired healthcare trials happen in a lot of of localities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, such as Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired. Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to get healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Most times the participants receive treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired clinical trial. Human subjects often receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and may include more or frequent dr. calls, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Functioning, Disability, and Quality of Life in the Adult Hearing Impaired
For Condition: Hearing impaired
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Department of Veterans Affairs Rehabilitation Research and Development Service ,
Synopsis: The short-term research objectives of the proposed study are as follows: (1) To measure the effects of audiological intervention on selected domain specific (i.e., Communicative, Interpersonal, and Social roles) and overall functioning using the WHO-DASII, a generic health measure conceptually grounded in the ICIDH-2 model of disablement and functioning. (2) To measure the effects of audiological intervention on selected domain specific (i.e., Role Functioning-Emotional; and, Social Functioning) and overall functioning using the MOS-SF36V, a generic health measure currently utilized in the Veteran's Health Administration. (3) To determine the accuracy with which measures of audibility (SII), hearing handicap (HHIE), and, hearing disability (APHAB) predict domain specific and overall functioning, and life-satisfaction as measured by the WHO-DASII and the MOS-SF36V will be evaluated. (4) To compare hearing aid treatment effects as measured by changes in WHO-DASII domain specific and overall functioning scores to those measured by changes in disease specific instruments examining similar constructs. (5) To compare hearing aid treatment effects as measured by changes in MOS-SF36V domain specific and overall functioning scores to those measured by changes in disease specific instruments examining similar constructs. (6) To determine and compare cost-effectiveness of hearing aid intervention as calculated using WHO-DASII and MOS SF-36V outcome data. The long-term research objective is to compare the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of audiologic intervention with those of other health care interventions commonly associated with the veteran population (e.g. mental health, cardiology, pulmonary, orthopedic, etc.).
Details: Specific Objectives with Projected Timetable: (1). Short-term objectives: (a). To measure the effects of audiological intervention on selected domain specific (i.e., Communicative, Interpersonal, and Social roles) and overall functioning using the WHO-DAS II, a generic health measure conceptually grounded in the International Classification of Impairment, Disability, and Handicap (ICIDH)-2 model of disablement and functioning (WHO, 1999). (b). To measure the effects of audiological intervention on selected category specific (i.e., Role Functioning-Emotional and Social Functioning) and overall functioning using the MOS-SF36V, a generic health measure currently utilized in the Veterans Health Administration. (c). To determine the accuracy with which measures of audibility (SII), hearing handicap (HHIE), and, hearing disability (APHAB) predict domain specific and overall functioning, and life-satisfaction as measured by the WHO-DAS II and the MOS-SF36V will be evaluated. (d). To compare hearing aid treatment effects as measured by changes in WHO-DAS II domain specific and overall functioning scores to those measured by changes in disease specific instruments examining similar constructs. (e). To compare hearing aid treatment effects as measured by changes in MOS-SF36V domain specific and overall functioning scores to those measured by changes in disease specific instruments examining similar constructs. (f). To determine and compare cost-effectiveness of hearing aid intervention as calculated using WHO-DAS II and MOS-SF36V outcome data. (2). Long-term objective: To compare the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of audiologic intervention with those of other health care interventions commonly associated with the veteran population (e.g. mental health, cardiology, pulmonary, orthopedic, etc.).
