There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This trial will examine whether interrupting 3.5 hours of sitting every 30 min with 6 min high intensity interval training (HIIT) breaks compared to light intensity interval training (LIIT) will improve brain health in cognitively normal older adults. This trial will test the feasibility of HIIT breaks to sitting. It will also address several important but unanswered questions: (1) Does interrupting sitting with short HIIT breaks improve frontoparietal function? (2) Can interrupting sitting with HIIT breaks improve cognitive functions?
This phase II trial tests how well pembrolizumab and tazemetostat work to treat patients who have received autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for aggressive non hodgkins lymphoma. A monoclonal antibody, such as pembrolizumab, is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Tazemetostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and tazemetostat may work better to treat patients who have received ASCT or CAR-T cell therapy for aggressive non hodgkins lymphoma.
The purpose of this prospective pilot study is to gather preliminary evidence evaluating spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as a potential therapy for the treatment of rigidity and painful spasms in patients with stiff person syndrome (SPS), a rare autoimmune neurological condition. The hypothesis is that SCS-mediated clinical improvement occurs through multi-modal mechanisms of action targeting several components of neuronal inhibitory signaling pathways in the spinal cord.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of a web app about colorectal cancer screening in patients with an upcoming primary care appointment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Among patients who use the web app, what proportion will request a colorectal cancer screening test via the program? - How many patients will respond to a text message intervention to use the web app? Participants will receive a text message informing them of the value of colorectal cancer screening, and inviting them to click a hyperlink to learn more. The hyperlink will take participants to the web app. The web app: 1) asks questions and use algorithms to determine if routine colorectal cancer screening is needed, and 2) if screening is indicated, shows a brief educational video about colorectal cancer screening and allows participants to request a screening test via the program. Researchers will compare four different versions of the text message invitation to see if some messages result in higher program completion rates than others.
The CardioClip study is exploring the use of a wireless sensor to monitor pressure in the pulmonary artery. This sensor is inserted much like the mTEER procedure, a non-surgical method through a vein in the groin. The investigators want to find out if the sensor, by constantly sending information about heart function, can help improve patient outcomes. This means doctors could adjust medications based on real-time pressure changes detected by the sensor. The results from this study will help pave the way for future trials, asking if using these wireless sensors could benefit people with valve disease and heart failure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the benefits of using the Incrediwear knee products after anterior cruciate ligament arthroscopic surgery or anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament (ACL+MCL) arthroscopic surgery, on the postoperative pain, range of motion and effusion. Participant population includes female or male patients in relative good health, 18 to 65 years old. The investigators will compare participants with Incrediwear and placebo Incrediwear products during the first 6-month postoperative period. The main question it aims to answer are: - Will the Incrediwear products help participants to decrease postoperative pain and swelling? - Will the Incrediwear products help the participants by increasing the range of motion in a shorter amount of time than the placebo group? Participants will be asked to maintain a journal documenting surgical site pain, pain medication type and quantity taken. Researcher will compare 90 participants enrolled in one of six groups, double blinded and randomly assigned, to see if the Incrediwear products assist in controlling postoperative swelling, and increase range of motion in a shorter amount of time. - ACL participants randomly assigned the Incrediwear product, placebo product, or none - ACL+MCL participants randomly assigned the Incrediwear product, placebo product, or none
Study researchers think that a drug called enasidenib may help people with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) because the drug blocks the mutated IDH2 protein, which may improve blood cell counts. The purpose of this study is to find out whether enasidenib is a safe and effective treatment for CCUS.
Investigators developed a brief, scalable, behavioral Sleep Promotion Program (SPP) for adolescents with short sleep duration and sleep-wake irregularity, which relies on two individual sessions and smart phone technology to deliver evidence-based strategies. This R34 will test the feasibility and initial effectiveness of the SPP program and provider training via pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT, n=50) comparing SPP to Sleep Psychoeducation, a brief session on healthy sleep habits. Participants will be adolescents (12-18 years) with short sleep duration, sleep-wake irregularity, and depression.
The investigators will test the hypothesis that images of the optic nerve head taken a 2 different eye pressures will yield strain estimates that are predictive of the course of glaucoma.
Subjects will be screened over the phone or in Tufts GYN clinic for participation in the study. If eligible and interested in participating, written informed consent (and assent if applicable) will be obtained. After informed consent/assent, the patient will be enrolled in the study. The patient will decide if they desire to use TENS unit during IUD insertion appointment and inform the study team. The clinic visit will proceed as normal, with additional study proceedings as follows. The study personnel will complete the 'Background Questionnaire' with the patient prior to IUD insertion. During the IUD insertion appointment, study personnel will assist in collection of the 'Study visit' data collection form. This includes recording the patient's pain score at various time points throughout the insertion procedure: - anticipated pain during IUD insertion - baseline pain prior to insertion - speculum insertion - tenaculum placement - paracervical block administration (if performed) - cervical dilation (if performed) - uterine sounding - IUD insertion - 5 minutes after IUD insertion Study personnel will also time the insertion procedure and collect additional data as outlined in the 'Study visit data collection form.' After IUD insertion, the participant will be asked to complete the 'Post-IUD Insertion Survey.' Once this survey is complete, this will conclude the study participation. Participation will last through the study visit only. As part of the standard of care, a urine pregnancy test will be obtained and confirmed negative prior to IUD insertion. Patients will receive routine pain management modalities per shared decision-making with their clinical provider which may include NSAID administration, paracervical block, and heating pad.
