ThyMoves: Screening and Exercise to Improve Muscle, Enhance Quality of Life, and Reduce Fall Risk in Thyroid Disease
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Rhythm- and Multitask-Based Activity (RYMA) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL): Participants will engage in one-hour exercise sessions twice weekly for 26 weeks: one day of RYMA training and one day of ADL-based training
Study summary
Objectives:
This study aims to assess health-related quality of life (QoL) in adults with thyroid hormone disorders and identify modifiable factors to improve QoL in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and multinodular toxic goiter (MNTG) through an exercise intervention.
Primary Outcome:
1\. Assess the impact of a tailored exercise program on health-related QoL in patients with HT and MNTG using the ThyPRO questionnaire.
Secondary Outcomes:
1. Evaluate the need for a screening tool to identify thyroid patients with reduced health-related QoL despite being euthyroid.
2. Assess the impact of the exercise intervention on body composition, strength, and balance function in HT and MNTG patients.
Methods:
The study is a combined cross-sectional survey and randomized controlled trial into the health related QoL in patients diagnosed with thyroid hormone disease. The cross-sectional survey will assess the overall health-related QoL in patients diagnosed with thyroid hormone disease, and help identify eligible participants for the subsequent RCT.
The RCT will evaluate the efficacy of a comprehensive screening and exercise intervention in patients ≥ 65 years diagnosed with HT or MNTG, experiencing reduced health-related QoL.
Participants:
The aim is to recruit 74 patients with HT and 74 patients with MNTG, including 50 participants from each group with reduced health-related QoL (defined in this study as ThyPRO score ≥ 30) and 24 with good health-related QoL (ThyPRO score ≤ 20)
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in Health-Related Quality of Life after the Exercise Intervention — 26 weeks and 52 weeks
The Thyroid-Related Quality of Life Measure questionnaire (ThyPRO) consists of 85 items summarized into 13 scales and one single item measuring the overall impact of thyroid disease on quality of life. It includes questions on symptoms, mood, memory, tiredness, and general health. Each item is rated on a 0-4 Likert scale, with scores transformed to a 0-100 scale; higher scores indicate worse health status. The ThyPRO questionnaire wil be used to assess changes in health-related QoL at 26 weeks (post-intervention) and 52 weeks (follow-up).
