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.
The purpose of the study is to compare a new grafting material for alveolar ridge preservation to a commonly used and well studied material. Alveolar ridge dimensions as well as histology will be compared.
From a psychoevolutionary perspective, anger is a universal emotion that can serve the function of making us aware of wrongdoing and motivating us to undo/correct the wrongdoing. However, it is well recognized in clinical psychology that anger can be maladaptive, often causing distress and impairment in various areas of day-to-day life; untreated maladaptive anger has been found to raise the risk of certain physical health problems e.g., hypertension and coronary heart disease. At the very extreme, rage has been implicated in aggression and violence. Not surprisingly, there has been a widespread quest for anger treatments or what is popularly called "anger management". One treatment approach that has received increasing empirical support is Cognitive Behavioral Affective Therapy (CBAT), which has been applied to patients with chemical dependence and individuals with chronic pain. To extend this programmatic line of research, the proposed research aims to evaluate the efficacy of CBAT in reducing multiple (psychometric and self-monitored) measures of anger within a community sample.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of BT-600 when administered in single and multiple ascending doses to healthy participants. The study will enroll up to 48 participants, with participation lasting 2-3 weeks in addition to up to 28 days (about 4 weeks) for screening. The purposes of this study are to learn about the safety and tolerability of single and multiple rising oral doses of BT-600, assess the blood and tissue levels of tofacitinib released from BT-600, and assess the body's effects to the study drug following oral doses of BT-600 in blood and tissue in healthy adult participants. BT-600 is a swallowable drug/device combination product designed to deliver a liquid formulation of tofacitinib to the colon and dispense the study drug throughout the colon. BT-600 consists of two components, the drug part containing a reservoir, which will be filled with liquid tofacitinib, and the drive part. The drive part contains the hardware and software that identifies the colon region and then dispenses the drug to the specific region. The device which contains the drug is referred to as the NaviCap™ device. The NaviCap device is approximately the size of a fish oil pill, is made of plastic material known to be safe for ingestion and has rounded ends for ease of swallowing. Liquid tofacitinib in the reservoir is automatically released when the BT-600 localization technology determines that it has reached the colon. BT-600 passes through the colon and the NaviCap device is excreted via a bowel movement.
This protocol studies the clinical outcome of patients with active thyroid disease with visually significant signs and symptoms of proptosis, pain, diplopiam lid/orbital edema, or lid/orbital erythema recommended for treatment with teprotumumab infusion (Tepezza®). Patients recommended for treatment will be evaluated by an oculoplastic surgeon (Dr. Eva Chou) and endocrinologist (Dr. Thanh Hoang).
This study is a multicenter Phase II single arm trial to assess the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy followed by radiotherapy in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC.
This study is to investigate the relationship between arterial carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and vitreous pressure on the choroidal volume by integrated intraoperative OCT imaging under eye exams under anesthesia.
Individuals with an above-knee lower limb amputation are known to walk more slowly, expend more energy, have a greater risk of falling, and have reduced quality of life compared to individuals without amputation and those with below knee amputation. One of the driving factors behind these deficits is the lack of active function provided by above-knee prostheses with prosthetic knees and ankles. While many prosthetic devices have been developed for functional restoration after major lower extremity amputation, there remains no stable interface to facilitate reliable, long-term volitional control of an advanced robotic limb capable moving multiple joints. Moreover, there is no existing interface that provides useful sensory feedback that in turn enhances the functional capabilities of the prosthesis. To achieve both greater signal specificity and long-term signal stability, we have developed a biologic interface known as the Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI). An RPNI consists of a peripheral nerve that is implanted into a free muscle graft that would otherwise go unused in the residual limb. As the nerve grows, it reinnervates the free muscle graft which undergoes a predictable sequence of revascularization and regeneration. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can the amplitude, movement specificity and stability of sciatic nerve RPNI electromyography (EMG) signals be detected up to one year post RPNI surgery? 2. Do RPNIs contain information to enable control of a physical motorized prosthetic leg with multiple degrees of freedom? 3. Does stimulation of sciatic nerve RPNIs provides meaningful sensory feedback? Consenting participants with unilateral transfemoral amputation (TFA) will: 1. Undergo RPNI surgery and electrode implantation in the residual limb. 2. Attend regular follow-up visits following surgery to assess the health and signal strength of the RPNIs and their ability to use a prescribed prosthesis between 3- and 12-months following implantation. 3. Undergo explantation of electrodes following the conclusion of data collection.
The goal of this study is to understand and improve the breast surgical decision-making process for young women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. As part of this study, the investigators will evaluate the impact and use a web-based tool called CONSYDER that is designed to provide useful information to young breast cancer patients. It is also meant to improve communication between young women and their surgeons with the purpose of helping patients make appropriate surgical decisions. Participants will complete surveys within 1 week of the surgical consult and 6 months after surgery. Patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy will also be surveyed after the completion of neoadjuvant treatment but prior to surgery. Some patients will be invited for an interview after their surgery as part of the evaluation. A subset of patients/surgeons will also have their surgical consultation audio-recorded.
Studies across various sports and physical activities have consistently shown that females incur more injuries compared to their male counterparts, but the underlying reasons for this disparity remain poorly understood. While differences in hormone levels between males and females have been speculated to play a role, very little rigorous research has been conducted to directly examine potential connections between sex hormones and injury risk. Specifically, females have been shown to be at greater risk for hand and wrist injuries. The higher injury incidence begins at puberty and persists across the lifespan, suggesting a link to hormonal factors. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the relationships between the menstrual cycle, exogenous hormones from birth control, and risk factors for sports-related injury in females. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in muscle strength and neuromuscular activation among females using monophasic oral contraceptives, females not using oral contraceptives, and males during one week of wrist/hand immobilization.
This study is looking at using a self-contained pH device that will assist in confirming placement of a nasogastric or orogastric tube placed in the stomach of hospitalized infants.
