Multidisciplinary Non-Pharmacological Intervention to Improve Quality of Life in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients (TAO)
Integrated Multidisciplinary Non-Pharmacological Treatment for Improving Health-Related Quality of Life in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Randomized Single-Center Pilot Study
This is a single-center interventional study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of a multidisciplinary non-pharmacological approach based on acupuncture, telerehabilitation-based physical rehabilitation, and brain health programs to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychophysical well-being in patients who have undergone solid organ transplantation (SOT) at least one year earlier, as well as to provide a preliminary estimate of its effects.
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is currently the most effective treatment, and often the only available option, for end-stage organ failure. Although transplantation can lead to a restitutio ad integrum from a clinical perspective, the quality of life of transplant recipients, regardless of the transplanted organ, frequently remains lower than that of the general population.
This project stems from the clinical, social, and scientific need to provide a concrete response to this challenge through the implementation of functional, reproducible, and economically sustainable rehabilitation pathways aimed at improving HRQoL in solid organ transplant recipients. The proposed approach is based on an innovative multidisciplinary model integrating telerehabilitation, acupuncture, and cognitive stimulation. Such a structured model of care may not only improve patients' quality of life and subjective well-being, but also represent an effective strategy for comprehensive post-transplant management by helping reduce complications, prevent cognitive decline, and promote a more person-centered, sustainable, and humane approach to care.

Experimental: Multidisciplinary program (acupuncture + telerehabilitation + brain health)
Participants will receive a multidisciplinary non-pharmacological intervention consisting of acupuncture, telerehabilitation-based physical rehabilitation, and psychological support. The intervention is designed to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychophysical well-being in solid organ transplant recipients at least one year after transplantation. |
